As is the case with most of the series' villains, Nimzo is mostly referred to and not actually encountered until the very end of the game, though his pawns and powerful influence do well to wreak havoc throughout the game. He resides in the sinister fortress at [[Mt. Zugzwang]], where [[Madalena]] is held captive. | As is the case with most of the series' villains, Nimzo is mostly referred to and not actually encountered until the very end of the game, though his pawns and powerful influence do well to wreak havoc throughout the game.

Nimzo initially appears to be an elderly, green-skinned demon.

He is capable of performing devastating [[Kafrizzle|spells]] and [[C-c-cold Breath|breath attacks]] in either form and can also call upon [[Wrecktor (Dragon Quest V)|Wrecktors]] and [[Killing machine]]s to assist him while in his initial form. He also possess an ultimate, grotesque form: a gargantuan bloated, red demon with massive, wrinkled wings, four arms, and a spike-ended tail. It is said that he was once a [[human]] long ago, but has since transformed into a {{MFamilies}}. | ||
Nimzo's speech in the English {{DS}} remake is composed of a font that replaces the English letters used in the rest of the game with Cyrillic letters that resemble them, such as replacing N with И. The overall effect makes Nimzo sound incredibly distinct and alien when compared to other characters and even the narration. | Nimzo's speech in the English {{DS}} remake is composed of a font that replaces the English letters used in the rest of the game with Cyrillic letters that resemble them, such as replacing N with И.

In the original {{Super Famicom}} version, Nimzo was given no back story, though most players assumed he was a demon. In the [[Nintendo DS]] and {{PS2}} remakes, two {{MFamilies}}s, a soldier in [[La Guardia]], and one book revealed he was in fact a human. | In the original {{Super Famicom}} version, Nimzo was given no back story, though most players assumed he was a demon.

A book in [[Lofty Peak]] called ''The Will Of Our Leader'' revealed he is a deity born of "lowly disciples" implying he was born of poverty. The book also reveals he soon became the monarch of [[Lofty Peak]] and was wiser than wisdom itself. Unfortunately he took the [[Secret of Evolution]] and turned himself into a monster. | A book in [[Lofty Peak]] called ''The Will Of Our Leader'' revealed he is a deity born of "lowly disciples" implying he was born of poverty.

After assuming this form, Nimzo will cast [[Bounce]] at the start of battle. He has a tendency cast [[Kasap]] on the party, but because he attacks physically at infrequent intervals the players can ignore this. [[Disruptive Wave]] will remove the effects anyway, so it's better to concentrate on maximizing damage instead. His elemental resistances no longer apply, but he is still immune to all debilitation magic. Once 2500 damage has been dealt, he will alter his strategy and begin meditating more often. After another 2000 {{HP}} has been removed, Nimzo will cease recovery and focus on the offensive. In this state, his melee blows will become '''{{Desperate attack}}s''', dealing 500% more damage.

He is considerably weaker in the {{SFC}} original version, but it is important to keep in mind that only three characters could be used in that version, (in contrast with the {{DS}} and {{PS2}} remakes' four); also, he seems to [[Meditate]] much more frequently now. | He is considerably weaker in the {{SFC}} original version, but it is important to keep in mind that only three characters could be used in that version, (in contrast with the {{DS}} and {{PS2}} remakes' four); also, he seems to [[Meditate]] much more frequently now. | ||

While Nimzo is frequently alluded to in the film, he does not make an actual appearance. Instead, his role is taken by a virus, appearing as a black humanoid figure with a white mask-like face. The presence of the virus results in a twist ending where Luca is shown as a fan of {{Dragon Quest V}} playing a virtual reality remake of the game. The virus was injected into the virtual reality game's code to take Nimzo's role, reminding Luca that once he is defeated, it is time to return to the real world. The virus attempts to further break Luca by telling him that everything in the world does not exist and will cease existing once he is defeated. Luca fights back by telling him that even though he knows that he is a player, he grew up playing both the original {{Super Famicom}} and {{PS2}} versions of the game, and that they were his realities that he came to love. Luca's Slime companion Gootrude appears one last time, revealing himself to be an anti-virus program and changing his own code into a sword used to defeat the virus. After the virus is defeated, Luca contemplates that his adventure is almost over, but his allies and enemies will live on in his memories. Despite this different character, the virus is still credited as Nimzo. | While Nimzo is frequently alluded to in the film, he does not make an actual appearance.
