After defeating him, Nier and Yonah are reunited. During the fight, Weiss loses all his strength and disappears, leaving Nier to fight the Shadowlord alone. She vacates the body, and Nier and the Shadowlord do battle. Having taken Yonah, he has given the original human Yonah her Replicant body, but this Yonah realizes that she cannot keep it, as she hears the Replicant Yonah calling for her brother/father. After five years, Nier, Kainé and Weiss reach the Shadowlord's chamber and, after defeating Grimoire Noir, they discover that the Shadowlord is the original 'Nier' as seen in the game's prologue, who was the primary test subject for the Gestalt Project, and driven by an identical desire to protect his sister/daughter. The Shadowlord (Gestalt Nier) realized that Gestalt Yonah's relapse couldn’t be stopped, and planned to give his all to put her soul into Replicant Yonah. For the rest of the time after that she stays at home.Īt the end of the game's first half, Yonah is kidnapped and taken away by the Shadowlord. When Nier tells her of a Lunar Tear, which can help her illness, she leaves the house to go to a temple and has to be rescued by her brother/father and Grimoire Weiss. Despite her illness, she struggles against Nier's rules and tries to sneak out of the house whenever she can, often going to the library. Over a thousand years later, Yonah is Nier's only sister/daughter and loves her brother/father deeply, but is young and doesn't always do what she's told. Because the soul, Gestalt Yonah, was kept in her near-relapsed state, Replicant Yonah who was made from her data will always get the Black Scrawl disease. She touched Grimoire Noir when trying to help Nier, but she then turned into a Gestalt, and began to relapse.
