An additional cutscene plays upon leaving Seafront after having viewed Ending A, which shows Kainé tearing apart a letter she retrieved from the wreck and scattering its remains. In this form, she possesses a wide array of extremely powerful magic, including shooting magical orbs and producing a scream loud enough to cause physical damage to Nier and his friends.ĭuring the game's first and second playthroughs, her boss fight is scripted such that the party fails to stop Louise from unleashing her final attack in time, followed by Nier struggling to hurl a single Dark Lance at her core while Louise is distracted by the postman. Her body is covered in spikes and tentacles, which she uses as weapons, as well as several "arms" with human faces in place of hands. In her gargantuan Shade form, she appears as a massive octopus-like creature with a gaping mouth which hides her humanoid core. Her attention is diverted towards the postman, who also ends up falling from the ensuing damage caused by her transformation. Rejoining the rest of the group, they finally meet Louise in her room, who is forced to transform as Kainé tries to warn the postman of her true nature. Nier inadvertently finds the Red-Bag Man's remains in the ship's hull-alongside the rest of the missing villagers-after the floor beneath him collapses in his investigation. Having exhausted every lead from both Seafront and the Village, he finds Kainé and Emil waiting near the beach, with the former having sensed a powerful presence all the way from the Southern Plains, its source emanating from the shipwreck. The disappearances reach a turning point when Nier is directed to the coastal town in search of the Red-Bag Man, at Popola's request. However, this friendship causes her to begin kidnapping and devouring Seafront's residents, believing that it will make her human and allow her to be with the postman forever. While in her human disguise, she kindles a friendship with Seafront's postman. įirst encountered as a little girl stranded in a wrecked slave ship on Seafront's coast, she is later revealed to be an extremely powerful Gestalt with incredible regenerative abilities that allow her to be exposed to sunlight without dying, and that she was the cause of the shipwreck that brought her to Seafront. Unbeknownst to her, that day would never come, being one of the few noted Gestalts without a Replicant-knowledge that Devola and Popola are shown to be privy to, in addition to her immense strength. Louise then resorts to eating more people to try and become human, taking the Red-Bag Man and several others as victim. Unable to speak properly, she communicates with the postman primarily through gestures and grunts, and reacts with cheer when he later names her "Louise." While already having devoured the ship's crew prior to his appearance, it is through him that her obsession with being human grows, readily taking on other activities such as letter writing and singing, with middling degrees of success.ĭespite enjoying his company, she is forced to refuse the postman's request to come live with him, as exposing herself to sunlight would have given her away, evidenced when she avoids the shard of glass he holds up for her. Uniquely, both the shape of her dress and ribbon are preserved as she assumes her true form, with the bag, however, nowhere to be seen. She later dons a white ribbon given to her by the postman, and takes the Red-Bag Man's red bag for herself later on. Flashbacks from the game's second playthrough depict the Shade already with her tattered sailor dress when the postman first finds her inside the ship.
