Current Intel

The unique and magnificent appearance of the symbiotic Ethereal swarm known as Nineveh make it "difficult" for people to be wary of it.
According to the few research records available, as Nineveh extends its body, a concentrated and potent Ether flows towards its core through its "rhizome," providing a constant supply of energy. Some scholars speculate that this behavior is akin to the photosynthesis process in plants.
In the course of its swaying motions, excess highly active Ether energy continuously pours out. When this accumulation of highly active Ether is nearly overflowing, it transforms, unveiling its true "blossoming" form.
And with its bloom comes death.
"The good news is it doesn't mean any harm, it just absorbs nutrients for photosynthesis. The bad news is... we're the nutrients."

—Defense Force Hollow Zero Investigation Log K-411

Combat Info

In battle, Nineveh will use attacks with wide areas of effect, barrage opponents with missiles, and summon Hornets to aid her.

Gameplay Notes

• In Inferno Reap, Nineveh's Max HP is multiplied by 4. This multiplier is increased by 2 every time it respawns, up to a maximum of 12×.

Encounters

Nineveh can be found in the following challenges:

• Withering Garden - Final Boss
• Foliage Hunt - Final Boss
• Inferno Reap - Mission Target

Trivia

• In-game, Nineveh is the namesake of a flower species cultivated by Lilac's father.

Etymology

• The city of Nineveh was the Neo-Assyrian Empire's capital and the largest city of the world at that time. The choice of naming an enemy boss after it may be given by the fact that in-game Nineveh is a swarm (and thus a plural entity as buzzing as an ancient capital) and that in the Bible it is described as a city of sin, inhabited by beasts and worthy of destruction by the hands of God.
