The Apocrypha Generator (Japanese: アポクリファ発生器, Apokurifa Hasseiki; English dub: /əˈpɒkrᵻfə/) is a boss in Xenoblade Chronicles. It is a machine that is capable of deactivating the Monado by emitting ether particles which counter and cancel out those of the Monado. It was created and used by Egil.

Appearance[]

When Egil uses the Apocrypha, it emits a blue aura through Yaldabaoth, affecting the Monado. It is not until later that a generator below the Mechonis Core is found to be the source of this energy.

Story[]

Galahad Fortress[]

Egil first uses the Apocrypha when the party faces him in Yaldabaoth at Galahad Fortress. It forces the Monado to its ground state, rendering it useless for fighting. He briefly explains that the Monado emits ether particles of one range, and that it can be shut down if it is exposed to opposing particles.

Fallen Arm[]

Even after Shulk escapes the battle from Galahad Fortress and falls to the Fallen Arm, the Apocrypha's effects are still in place, and the Monado cannot reactivate for a while. Eventually, Shulk forces it to reactivate, but the effort of using the Monado is now taxing to him, something that never happened since its first use.

Mechonis Core[]

The party uses Junks to re-enter the Mechonis in pursuit of Egil, who is now in the Mechonis Core. Junks flies them to the fifth floor of Central Factory and they make their way to the Apocrypha Generator room, which Vanea says is directly below the Core. They decide to destroy the generator, but it defends itself. After it is defeated, Shulk can once again use the Monado at its full power and learns Monado Cyclone.

Trivia[]

  • Apocrypha is an ancient Greek word, meaning "to hide something away". It usually is used for knowledge that is hidden or away of the general canon, even holding a derogatory term in some cases.
  • Riki's quote "Nyapakapow!" when the Apocrypha Generator is defeated, became an internet meme.
