Nier Automata Missables (2024)

FAQs

Are there missable endings in NieR:Automata? ›

One ending is tied to a late game Sidequest. Sidequests in this game aren't repeatable after they are done, so if you miss that opportunity and save over a file where it's still available you miss the ending. However the game allows you to save to a different slot right after the sidequest is finished.

How To Get All Main Endings In Nier: Automata. Endings A through E are known as the main endings of the game and require completing the main story at least three times.

No completely missable items, but there are two missable joke endings. 1) Don't sell the mackerel. 2) If you max out all the weapons in the end game, make sure you do the secret ending in the max-all-the-weapons-quest. If you're a completionist, there's at least one missable "intel".

The only ending it's possible to miss is Y. If you want to know how to make sure you don't miss it: During part of the fight, a countdown appears. In order to get Ending Y, you have to let the countdown finish; if you kill the boss before then, you can't fight it again and so can't get that ending.

Ending E is what most fans claim is the best ending. In this ending, all the characters are restored and you get the choice to delete your save file so you can help other players get this ending.

Ending D: child[D]hood's end - Continue after either ending B or ending C and choose 9S during the final boss battle. Ending E: the [E]nd of YoRHa - This is the game's true ending and one that will require players to sacrifice their save file. After ending C or D, the Pod 153 will be able to do a data check.

In NieR: Automata's case, 9S's mannerisms towards 2B imply a massive crush. Though 2B is a lot more stoic and is less open about her feelings, (similar to Kaine) there leaves more explicit implications that she might like him back.

According to Emil, she have seen 2B 400 years later. So E is definately the canon ending. Have no idea why someone would say E is a reset because only 2b, 9s and a2 are alive for all Yorha unit.

The wiki says the following: The kanji used to write "YoRHa" in Japanese (寄葉) means "passing leaf." According to Yoko Taro, the unusual capitalization in "YoRHa" is meaningful, unlike the capitalization of NieR which was done simply to make the logo look more interesting.

The Purpose Of Self-Destruct

attack and severely hurt surrounding enemies. Its usage can be extremely risky in close-quarter combat, but that seems to be the point of it. It allows for one last hurrah before accepting defeat while also granting the player a semblance of hope.

Should I destroy the tank in NieR? ›

Only reason to destroy it is if you want 100% Unit Data completion.

In a nod to Dark Souls, death in Nier: Automata sees you losing all your currently equipped plug-in chips. While it can often be a pain to have to track down your body if you died on the way to a quest, reclaiming those precious chips saves you from having to start your chipset again from scratch.

The game gives you two choices and one of them is an ending, simple. It's missable because if you save after beating him, you can never try to get it again (On that save file).

2B will ask A2 to look after the future and everyone. You'll see her eyes, and know she has the virus. A2 will kill her to spare her from the virus. That's the only way I know of saving 2B from the virus.

Consider Endings D and E as a sort of 'post-game' which leads to the true ending, of a sort. If the Nier developers declare a canon ending in years to come for a sequel, it's overwhelmingly likely that they will choose Ending E to be the canon.

Finally, a new choice will be available for E. While ending A will take 21 hours to get, only about 16 hours will be ahead to get the rest of the main endings. In total, it is about 37 hours to complete the main story.

It is revealed in NieR:Automata that as a result of Nier killing the Shadowlord, Project Gestalt failed, and humanity became extinct within a thousand years.
