- — Yaldabaoth
Yaldabaoth (Japanese: ヤルダバオト, Yarudabaoto; English dub: /ˈjældəˌbaʊθ/), also known as Gold Face, is a Faced Mechon in 异度神剑. It is a key antagonist of the game and serves as the true 领导 of the Faced Mechon. Yaldaboth can 魂控 any Mechon at will using this armour. It is the largest and strongest Faced Mechon ever built.
Story
Valak Mountain
Yaldabaoth first appears at Valak Mountain to stop the fight with Mumkhar and to pick up Face 世界BOSS. Here it reveals that his - the pilot's - name is Egil and if Shulk wants Face 世界BOSS, he must continue on to Galahad Fortress, and states that Shulk and his friends are "more than welcome on Mechonis".
Galahad Fortress

When the party escapes from Face Nemesis' attack in Galahad Fortress, it falls. When it lands, Yaldabaoth, as Gold Face, appears alongside of Face 世界BOSS. There he generates the Apocrypha, which emits 以太 waves opposite to the Monado's, which cause it to malfunction. After a short fight between him and Face 世界BOSS, she pushes Yaldabaoth down from the fortress. However, it flies away from Face 世界BOSS.
Agniratha
When the party confronts Egil at the Meyneth Shrine in Agniratha, he calls Yaldabaoth. When Yaldabaoth is defeated, Yaldabaoth takes 魂控 of Mechonis and destroys Agniratha with a massive energy blast.
Mechonis Core

The final sighting of Yaldabaoth
After the destruction of Agniratha, Shulk and his group return to the Central Factory in the 垃圾. Then the group reach the Apocrypha Generator. After the battle against it, the group must go into the Mechonis Core to stop Egil. Egil is inside Yaldabaoth and Shulk and the 其它 must defeat him. During the battle, Shulk sees in a vision in which Yaldabaoth destroys Bionis with an infinitely powerful attack, Bionis 斩击 X. Shulk and the 其它 must defeat three Energy Devices in two minutes in order to complete the story quest Save Bionis, or else Bionis will be destroyed and all the members in the party will be killed. When the group wins, Shulk 膝 Yaldabaoth and Egil, and they realize that they can live in peace. Unfortunately, when Zanza emerges from Shulk's body and takes over Bionis, it kills Mechonis and with it, Yaldabaoth and Egil, who fight to the very end.
