Ys IX: Monstrum Nox fuses fast-paced action RPG combat with a mystery-filled city to protect. Step into the shoes of Adol “the Red” Christin, who, after arriving in Balduq, is imprisoned and transformed into one of six feared Monstrum. Each Monstrum wields a unique Gift—supernatural abilities that redefine how you approach exploration and combat, from scaling sheer walls to detecting hidden objects and beyond.

The World Within the Walls invites you to roam Balduq, a sprawling city sealed from the outside world and controlled by the Romun Empire. Take on quests to aid the townsfolk, uncover hidden stories, and gather clues about the Monstrum curse and the city’s unrest. When danger rises, you can venture into the Grimwald Nox, a shadowy dimension where monstrous threats await and courage is tested.

Feel the Strength of the Night with familiar and new combat mechanics. The trilogy-inspired action blends real-time combat with tactical choices, including Flash Dodge and Flash Guard to outmaneuver foes. New to the series are Gifts—each Monstrum’s signature power that unlocks alternate routes through battles and puzzles—and Boost Mode, a heightened state that amplifies your abilities for short windows of time. Switch between Monstrums on the fly to exploit enemy weaknesses, chain attacks, and orchestrate powerful team plays against escalating threats.

Story and Atmosphere center on identity, fate, and rebellion. Adol’s arrival in Balduq becomes a gateway to unraveling the Monstrum curse and the city’s hidden machinations. With Dogi by his side and a mysterious ally named Aprilis shaping his fate, Adol must unite the six Monstrums to confront the looming menace spilling from the Grimwald Nox and to discover what Balduq hides beneath its walls. The narrative threads explore what is real when reality itself is challenged by dreams, power, and the shadows that seek to redefine who you are.

What to expect is a richly detailed urban playground packed with daring escapes, intricate dungeons, and high-stakes battles. You’ll experience a story-driven journey that blends exploration, character-driven quests, and fast, stylish combat where your choice of Monstrum, their Gifts, and your mastery of timing determine the fate of Balduq. Ready your strength, sharpen your wits, and march into the night to banish the darkness and uncover the truth behind Monstrum Nox.
