When the Ignika was lost, and the Toa Mahri out of reach, the warlords broke apart, all attempting to evade capture. After defeating the Makuta, Nocturn joined the feverish chase to recover the Ignika. Nocturn regrouped with Ehlek's army, and was present at the assault of the Barraki's armies on Teridax.

When Mantax and Hahli attacked Hydraxon to prevent him from destroying the mask, Nocturn took the opportunity to escape. Nocturn surrendered, and Hydraxon came into possession of the Mask of Life. They fought, and Nocturn was eventually overwhelmed by Hydraxon's skill. After hours of searching, Nocturn was intercepted by the newly revived jailor, Hydraxon. While toying around with the ability, he dropped the mask, which enlarged a small marine Rahi called Gadunka.ДЄfter growing angry at his power, Nocturn picked up the mask, and set off to ask Ehlek about it. At first, he enjoyed his new ability, but soon became annoyed by it, as he was no longer able to cause his targets to suffer. The Kanohi Ignika cursed Nocturn with the power to cause instant death to any being he touched. However, Nocturn was not destined to handle the mask, and was cursed by it.

They also gave him a Squid Launcher to use. He was given the Ignika to hold by the Barraki who did not trust each other to keep it. Nocturn fought and defeated the Zyglak, allowing the Barraki to escape. Takadox then tricked him into fighting the Zyglak that were chasing the Barraki. Enraged at the idea that someone was trying to hide something from him, Nocturn opened a hole in the wall of 'The Pit', allowing Kalmah and Takadox, trapped inside, to escape. In the Black Water, Nocturn noticed that the entrance to 'The Pit', usually open, was sealed. Nocturn later spotted one of the Barraki, though the warlord ignored him. When Nocturn threatened to snap the Barraki in two for doubting his word, Takadox used his hypnotic gaze to win himself a powerful ally in his search, imparting instructions that were to be carried out if the mask should ever fall into the giant's hands. Takadox spoke to Nocturn, asking if he knew the whereabouts of the mask. When the Kanohi Ignika fell to the ocean floor, the Barraki set out to find it. Nocturn took to residing in the Razor Whale's Teeth, his preferred area. He also crafted Pridak's Shark Tooth Blades, using his massive strength to fuse more than ten-thousand Takea shark teeth together. Nocturn was eventually recruited into the the Barraki's armies, falling into Ehlek's contingent, where he eventually rose to the rank of a lieutenant. Nocturn's regenerative ability gave him his arm back, but without its' tentacle. Some time after his escape, Nocturn encountered Pridak, who severed one of his arms. Nocturn could have left 'The Pit' due to his amphibious nature, but chose not to, as he recognized that his presence was unwanted anywhere else. He was sentenced to 'The Pit' as a result of the massive loss of life due to his action.ДЄfter the Great Cataclysm, Nocturn escaped into the waters along with the rest of the surviving inmates.

In a fit of rage, Nocturn struck at a weak point of his former home, destroying it. Nocturn lived on a small island with the rest of his species.
