The Gestalt impaled Nier through his shoulder, critically wounding him. Nier fought his way into the library, seemingly defeating the giant shade, but was ambushed by the Shadowlord. Using the diversion of the titanous Knave of Hearts, the Shadowlord infiltrated the village library with the intent to kidnap the Replicant Yonah hiding inside, as she was key to rescuing his own Gestalt Yonah from her relapse. The Shadowlord makes his first in-game appearance as his new form when Nier's village is assaulted by Shades. This set to motion the Replicant Nier's quest for vengeanceīackstory - Nier Replicant/Gestalt and Death In the end, Gestalt Nier realized that the Gestalt Yonah's relapsing couldn't be stopped and he kidnapped the Replicant Yonah to return her to her body. Because of this, all the sentient Shades are linked to Shadowlord and his death would cause them to relapse. Just like the Replicant Nier (the character played as throughout most of the game), Shadowlord's ultimate goal is to not only save his sister, whose soul (or Shade) needs the body of Replicant Yonah, but save humanity (the Shades).Īs the first sentient Gestalt, the organization behind Project Gestalt offered to put the Gestalt Yonah into hibernation until she could return to her Replicant body in return for Nier (now in his "Shadowlord" form) helping them create stabilized Gestalts. Yonah presumably touched the grimoire to help Nier, but this caused her to start to relapse. During the 1,412 time skip between the prologue and the main game, Nier's soul was separated from his body as part of Project Gestalt and this bodiless shade is later named Shadowlord. The relapsed Gestalts found them though and Nier was forced to turn to the black book so he could fight them off. The charity was actually a human experimentation site designed to find the "original Gestalt," who can keep his own consciousness even after going through the "Gestalt process." When Nier saw the fellow survivors turn into crazed, relapsed Gestalts, he escaped with Yonah and sought refuge in a supermarket. Instead he, along with 12 other people, received a clone of the Grimoire Noir. Nier sought help for Yonah's growing disease from a charity organization's center that supposedly handed out food and medicine for the survivors. In the year 2053, 50 years after the incident where the The Dragon and the The Giant appeared in Tokyo, Nier and Yonah (as real humans) were trapped in Shinjuku district when its lock down commenced. In the end, it is revealed that the Shadowlord is actually the original Nier, who was the player character in the beginning of the game.
