After unpetrifying Kainé, and defeating the Shade, the three set out to find the parts to a keystone that they believe will help them locate the Shadowlord and Grimoire Noir. However, now he can see and wield his own form of magic. This has the unfortunate side-effect of transforming a devastated Emil into a similar skeleton-like body that floats above the ground. This weapon - his sister - is a large, disfigured skeleton-like creature, and is ultimately defeated by Nier but not before Emil has to seal away her power. His sister, "Number 6", was utilized to create the "ultimate weapon", while he, "Number 7", was kept in reserve. The world is in turmoil, and the Shadowlord is behind it all.Įmil believes he has discovered the key to removing his curse as well as unpetrifying Kainé and he and Nier journey to a lab below Emil's mansion, where Emil remembers his past: Emil and his sister Halua were the subjects of experiments into weapons research being conducted under the mansion as part of the "Gestalt Project". They are outfitted with plate armor and helms and wield swords. The other big difference is that the Shades have become far tougher to defeat, even for Nier. News from the outside world seldom makes it to the village because of the increased number of Shades in the neighboring plains - even many of the animals that used to graze in the southern and northern plains have fled the area. The gates to the village remain shut at all times, and food is scarce.
Times have gotten hard for the villagers during these intervening years. In the five years since Yonah was carried away, Nier has neither given up hope that she's alive nor doubts for one moment that he can find her again. Their quest sees many hardships, culminating in Kainé becoming petrified in order to seal a deadly Shade beneath the library, while Yonah is carried away by the master Shade, known as the Shadowlord, who carries his own book, Grimoire Noir. In their search, they encounter the hot-tempered, foul-mouthed Kainé, who is herself part-Shade and a young boy Emil, whose eyes petrify anyone that gazes upon them. This partnership with Weiss allows Nier to use magic and the two begin their quest to search the lands to collect all the Sealed Verses that Nier hopes will give Weiss the power to destroy the darkness and save his daughter. It is discovered that Yonah is suffering from the Black Scrawl virus, which is linked to the Shades. The two team up to defeat the army of Shades and two living guardian statues to save Yonah. Upon searching the Lost Shrine, Nier stumbles upon a talking book capable of wielding magic, calling itself the Grimoire Weiss. One day, Yonah leaves to seek out the Lunar Tear flower her father told her about and may have gone off in search of the Lost Shrine where Popola told her where they grow.
Some would say the work is beneath a man of his caliber but he holds his head high and does whatever he can to provide for his daughter, all the while hoping that the village's wisest members, Popola, and her twin sister Devola, can discover a cure. The entire village knows of young Yonah's illness, and lends their support by hiring Nier for numerous odd jobs and errands. Villagers live in modest homes and work together to ensure a better life for their community. Though much time has passed, the world in which this father and daughter resides is, in many ways, one of a simpler time. The story begins 1,358 years after the events of Drakengard, where a man named Nier and his only daughter, Yonah, has succumbed to a violent cough and must remain in bed while he searches for a cure.
