Nirvana

Nirvana is a recurring location in the Guilty Gear series, appearing as a battle stage in the Guilty Gear X and XX games. It is Zato-ONE and Venom's default stage in Guilty Gear X, Fanny's default stage in Guilty Gear Petit. and Venom's default stage in the XX games up to Guilty Gear XX Λ Core where his default stage instead becomes Hell.

Design

The stage is a large platform with a checkered tile floor, with ruined archways circling it. The only objects on the platform are a small throne under a set of red curtains, and a large demon-like creature above a glowing summoning circle, being held in place by large stakes, metal bars and a chain. The background features nothing but a few towers below a cloudy sky with a glowing moon, and the whole stage has a magenta glow.

Guilty Gear XX features a slightly redone version, with the checkered ground replaced with more ornate tiles; the demon now appears to be a cyclops, with more chains around its body, and the stage as a whole has a more golden glow in place of the pink. The stage features strange cloaked entities who float around the demon. It can be inferred the stage is set during some sort of summoning ritual.

Trivia

• The stage name is probably a reference to the band Nirvana.
• The cloaked figures are similar to the ones in the cover of the Testament album Souls of Black.
• Despite being in the earlier three XX series games, the stage does not appear in Guilty Gear XX Λ Core. However, starting from Guilty Gear XX Λ Core Plus, the Guilty Gear XX and Guilty Gear XX Slash versions of the stage can be unlocked by completing Venom's Story Mode.
