The goddess of the night from Greek mythology. Originally it was said that she was born from chaos, and her name means "the mother night." She is depicted as a goddess draped in long flowing black robes. Versions of her birth and origins vary, but one interpretation has her as a creator goddess, laying a silver egg that produces the gods responsible for the creation of the world.

One account details [[Zeus]]' fear of Nyx is when Hypnos, the god of sleep, reminds [[Juno|Hera]] of an old favor after she asks him to put Zeus to sleep. Zeus was furious and would have smitten Hypnos into the sea if he had not fled to Nyx, his mother, in fear. In fact, the king of the gods was fearful to the point where he held his fury at bay and in this way Hypnos escaped the wrath of Zeus by appealing to his powerful mother.

In ''Persona 3'' Nyx is the final boss of ''The Journey'', although gameplay-wise the final boss is the Nyx Avatar.

The ''Persona 3 Club Book'' explains that Nyx is a celestial-body sized alien called a Planet Eater. Nyx crashed into prehistoric Earth where her body and psyche were separated, with her body becoming the Moon and her psyche staying on Earth. Her "wave-like psyche" existed in contradiction to the psyche of early lifeforms on Earth, so life as a whole evolved to seal Nyx within the Collective Unconscious as their [[Shadow (Persona)|Shadows]]. [[The Fall]] is when of both Nyx parts which would, if rejoined, rip the Shadows out of the living creatures on Earth while simultaneously destroying Earth. This process is kicked underway by the events of ''Persona 3''.
Nyx is explained as the personification of death itself in ''Persona 3''. She is also the final boss in the story, although gameplay-wise the final boss is her avatar. In ancient times Nyx bestowed Death and Night to the world, where she is destined to bring [[The Fall]]. Nyx, however, lies in hibernation and can only be called by the appraiser of The Fall, which happens to be the incarnation of the Arcana that was never meant to be [[Death Arcana|Death]]. When the [[Kirijo Group]] was experimenting on the Shadows, Mitsuru's grandfather, along with several scientists, knew about the Fall, and willingly embraced it. They eventually succeeded in amassing a large amount of [[Shadows]] within the experimental facility and rejuvenated Death. However, [[Eiichiro Takeba]] declined, and destroyed the facilities causing Death to be forcibly split into thirteen separate Shadows. Defeating the individual parts would cause them to reunite to the 'main' thirteenth Shadow, which was sealed within the [[Protagonist (Persona 3)|protagonist]]. Death, while within the protagonist's mind, assumed the amnesiac identity of [[Pharos]]. Therefore, it is not until the protagonist defeats the remaining twelve Shadows, rejuvenating and reawakening the final Shadow, Death.

Death would then take the form of [[Ryoji Mochizuki]], who was responsible for summoning Nyx and becoming the harbinger of the Fall.
Assuming the form of [[Ryoji Mochizuki]], Death was responsible for summoning Nyx, and became the harbinger of the Fall. After the protagonist manages to fend off the Avatar of Nyx, the Avatar shrugs the damage away, and proceeds to connect to Nyx's true physical body, the moon. As she descends to earth, [[Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad|SEES]] was rendered immobile, leaving only the protagonist immune to her effect. Through the cheering of SEES and his friends' will to live, the protagonist ascended to the Moon and battled Nyx, where he used his own soul as the Great Seal, sealing Nyx away.

The being was amnesiac and lived alongside SEES like a normal boy until [[Aigis]] fought him on the Moonlight Bridge, reawakening him to his mission. He would later become the [[Nyx Avatar|avatar of Nyx]]. After the protagonist manages to fend off Nyx Avatar, the avatar proceeds to connect to Nyx's true physical body, the Moon. As she descends to Earth, [[Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad|SEES]] was rendered immobile, leaving only the protagonist immune to her effect. Through the cheering of SEES and his friends' along with the people's will to live, the protagonist ascended to the Moon and battled Nyx failingly, where he used the [[Universe Arcana]]'s ability (The [[Great Seal]]<nowiki/>l) to repair the weakened seal on Nyx's psyche by turning his own life essence into the seal once again keeping the two parts separate sealing Nyx away by keeping [[Erebus]] from alerting her to combine.
   
  +
It is also mentioned in the guidebook that the Nyx in ''Persona 3'' is named after the Greek goddess of the same name. In Greek mythology Nyx embodied a powerful Mother-Archetype, so the being was named after her due to humanity feeling they were all her children. Conversely, gods and demons emerge from humans as another means to defend their psyche from Nyx. Negative emotions can also help weaken the seal on her psyche, with events like ''Persona 3''<nowiki/>'s Fall having happened before.
In the ''Persona 3 Club Book'', in a Q&A section it is stated that Nyx is in fact a living being outside reality the size of a celestial body known as "the Star Eater", that drifted space in a dormant state. Eventually, this being collided with the Earth, and ended up entering Earth's orbit becoming its moon, but leaving its psyche on the surface. This "wave-like psyche" stood a contradiction to the already existing life on earth, which was still at a very primitive state. In order to resist this contradiction, the life forms in Earth had a period of evolution and developed a collective subconsciousness in which the life forms locked away the psyche of Nyx by suppressing its psyche with their own thoughts. Nyx's physical body entered a healing process after the colliding with the Earth from within Earth's moon. By the time ''Persona 3'' takes place, that process was just about done. The Fall is the process in which Nyx's psyche re-enters its physical body, giving Nyx back its original form, meaning a paradox for life on earth, and thus the end of the world.
 
   
  +
Nyx is not a manifestation of a collective thought (unlike [[Nyarlathotep]], [[Izanami]], [[Yaldabaoth]], [[Enlil]], or [[Salmael]]), but an almighty, astronomical entity who appeared from outer space.
The guidebook also makes a quick mention of the Great Will (a recurring power in the main series), stating that Gods and Demons emerge from humans as another mean to defend their psyche from Nyx.

Nyx was briefly mentioned in the playable epilogue of ''Persona 3 FES'', ''The Answer''. It is later revealed that Nyx herself is neither hostile nor malevolent, she was awakened from the sorrow, depression, and apathy of humankind, believing that humans were tired of living and thus, her duty to end their lives. Upon returning to the time where the protagonist seals Nyx, it is revealed that the protagonist is not planning to seal Nyx away from humanity, but [[Erebus]], a manifestation of humanity's negative will and grief from contacting her to bring the Fall.

Nyx is fought in a scripted battle following the defeat of Nyx Avatar. Nyx's only attack is "[[Death]]", an [[Almighty Skills|Almighty]] attack that deals 9999 damage; the protagonist will automatically [[Endure (skill)|endure]] the hits no matter what. For the first few turns the protagonist will only be able to use [[Slash Skills|Slash]] attacks, which deal normal damage but do not deplete Nyx's HP. After being given strength from the rest of the party the protagonist will have enough HP to cast the unique skill [[Great Seal]], automatically ending the battle.

This article is about the various Appearances of Nyx in the Megami Tensei series. For its Avatar in Persona 3, see Nyx Avatar.

Nyx is a demon in the series.

History[]

Nyx is the primordial goddess and personification of the night from Greek mythology. Originally said that she was born from chaos and her name means "the mother night." Versions of her birth and origins vary, but one interpretation has her as a creator goddess, laying a silver egg that produces the gods responsible for the creation of the world.

She is depicted as a goddess draped in long flowing black robes that are coated with the void of space and glimmering distant stars. Her appearances in mythology are sparse, but reveal her as a figure of exceptional power. In ancient art Nyx was depicted as a either a winged goddess or charioteer, sometimes crowned with an aureole of dark mists.

One account details Zeus' fear of Nyx is when Hypnos, the god of sleep, reminds Hera of an old favor after she asks him to put Zeus to sleep. Zeus was furious and would have smitten Hypnos into the sea if he had not fled to Nyx, his mother, in fear. In fact, the king of the gods was fearful to the point where he held his fury at bay and in this way Hypnos escaped the wrath of Zeus by appealing to his powerful mother.

She gave birth to many offspring, including Light (Aether), Day (Hemera), Death (Thanatos), Sleep (Hypnos), Doom (Moros), Retribution (Nemesis) the Moirae Sisters alongside many others. In some accounts, the goddess of witchcraft, Hecate was also called the daughter of Night.

Her ultimate goal is to create an "eternal night" and uses the Snow Queen Curse as a means of being brought back into the world. When the Demon Mirror is used to free Ms. Saeko, the Snow Queen comes to her senses, causing the now-free Night Queen Persona to show herself, originally being the Persona of Tomomi Fujimori until the Demon Mirror being used upon her that made her see what she became and separated from her. Appearing briefly with her are two unnamed, but recognizable characters from the SEBEC Quest of the game in masks; the Masked Girl indicates she wishes to destroy the school and created the world they are currently in, and the Masked Man humors the girl, but seems to be following his own objectives. The Night Queen merges with the two becoming Queen Asura for the final battle, but is defeated.

Queen Asura is a member of the Tyrant Order in Megami Ibunroku Persona, but her Order was changed to Deity in both the Japanese and English versions of Shin Megami Tensei: Persona.

Persona 3[]

In Persona 3 Nyx is the final boss of The Journey, although gameplay-wise the final boss is the Nyx Avatar.

The Persona 3 Club Book explains that Nyx is a celestial-body sized alien called a Planet Eater. Nyx crashed into prehistoric Earth where her body and psyche were separated, with her body becoming the Moon and her psyche staying on Earth. Her "wave-like psyche" existed in contradiction to the psyche of early lifeforms on Earth, so life as a whole evolved to seal Nyx within the Collective Unconscious as their Shadows. The Fall is when of both Nyx parts which would, if rejoined, rip the Shadows out of the living creatures on Earth while simultaneously destroying Earth. This process is kicked underway by the events of Persona 3.

Nyx lies in hibernation and can only be called by the Appraiser of the Fall, which happens to be the incarnation of the Arcana that was never meant to be: Death. When the Kirijo Group was experimenting on Shadows, Mitsuru's grandfather, along with several scientists, knew about the Fall and willingly embraced it. They eventually succeeded in amassing a large amount of Shadows within the experimental facility and rejuvenated Death. However, Eiichiro Takeba declined and destroyed the facilities, causing Death to be forcibly split into thirteen separate Shadows. Defeating the individual parts would cause them to reunite with the "main" thirteenth Shadow, which was sealed within the protagonist. Death, while within the protagonist's mind, assumed the amnesiac identity of Pharos. Therefore, it is not until the protagonist defeats the remaining twelve Shadows that Death is rejuvenated and reawakened.

Death would then take the form of Ryoji Mochizuki, who was responsible for summoning Nyx and becoming the harbinger of the Fall. The being was amnesiac and lived alongside SEES like a normal boy until Aigis fought him on the Moonlight Bridge, reawakening him to his mission. He would later become the avatar of Nyx. After the protagonist manages to fend off Nyx Avatar, the avatar proceeds to connect to Nyx's true physical body, the Moon. As she descends to Earth, SEES was rendered immobile, leaving only the protagonist immune to her effect. Through the cheering of SEES and his friends' along with the people's will to live, the protagonist ascended to the Moon and battled Nyx failingly, where he used the Universe Arcana's ability (The Great Seall) to repair the weakened seal on Nyx's psyche by turning his own life essence into the seal once again keeping the two parts separate sealing Nyx away by keeping Erebus from alerting her to combine.

It is also mentioned in the guidebook that the Nyx in Persona 3 is named after the Greek goddess of the same name. In Greek mythology Nyx embodied a powerful Mother-Archetype, so the being was named after her due to humanity feeling they were all her children. Conversely, gods and demons emerge from humans as another means to defend their psyche from Nyx. Negative emotions can also help weaken the seal on her psyche, with events like Persona 3's Fall having happened before.

Nyx is not a manifestation of a collective thought (unlike Nyarlathotep, Izanami, Yaldabaoth, Enlil, or Salmael), but an almighty, astronomical entity who appeared from outer space.

The Answer[]

Nyx was briefly mentioned in the playable epilogue of Persona 3 FES, The Answer. It is later revealed that Nyx herself is neither hostile nor malevolent and that she was alerted to start the Fall from the sorrow, depression, and apathy of humankind represented by Erebus. Upon returning to the time where the protagonist seals Nyx, it is revealed that the protagonist is not planning to seal Nyx away from humanity, but Erebus, to stop a manifestation of humanity's negative will and grief from contacting her to bring the Fall.

Persona 3[]

Nyx is fought in a scripted battle following the defeat of Nyx Avatar. Nyx's only attack is "Death", an Almighty attack that deals 9999 damage; the protagonist will automatically endure the hits no matter what. For the first few turns the protagonist will only be able to use Slash attacks, which deal normal damage but do not deplete Nyx's HP. After being given strength from the rest of the party the protagonist will have enough HP to cast the unique skill Great Seal, automatically ending the battle.
