According to the game, the Nexus was created by the Elder Gods to aid their chosen champion in his defense of the realms. The Nexus itself consists of a circular plane bordered by torch pillars that float amongst the clouds in an unknown place. It is rumored that the clouds are meant to suggest that it is located in the Heavens, being that it was created by the Elder Gods, but such has not been confirmed by Midway Games. The only thing present in the Nexus is an altar to the Elder Gods (with spaces to place each of the Kamidogu and the Amulet of Power).
