Remnant: True Monk Story & Lore

• Yao Bikuni evolved into this current form by eating a man-faced fish . She is one of the degenerates that lured children to the mountain under the guise of performing "virtuous deeds". Her cloning abilities plausibly stem from the Nirvana like Hall of Illusions, resulting in her appearing nebulous, as if in a dream. Her demonic Hannya mask alludes to her being a “hungry ghost”, a possible result of her obsessions and jealousy. Behind her mask, the woman is utterly black. Priestess Yao is conceivably linked to various forerunning, dark characters from the Souls franchise   . The actions of the boss mimic a Noh play: a form of classic, Japanese theatre, in which ancient characters are reenacted.
