So I found the often alluded to "final secret" in NieR Automata, a cheat code that can only be entered while standing in one particular place, at one specific moment in the game, which unlocks Chapter Select, Debug Mode, the Debug Room, and the Trophy Shop, as well as a few other items. Saving the player from having to do 3 playthroughs of the game to unlock these. A ton of work went into this so I hope you think it's cool too!

@@weaverquest The only thing your client recieves on the ending scene is the playernames. The rest of the stuff isn't even recorded gameplay of others, it's just your ship with many others . For starters, devs could have input a small namelist with some messages in final release build or if they were really trying to treasure it, taken data from the QA testers. And yes on their end they could always go ahead and do stuff. They most likely didn't need to worry about Sony asking them stuff. The real reason why this thing exists is probably just to let devs run tests on clean release builds without having to resort to savefiles.

Congratulations on finding this secret Lance! One of the craziest discoveries in gaming history for sure. I must say it still seems like a complete troll move as, unless there is some way to quickly level up, accessing chapter select at so low a level makes it almost impossible to beat the later enemy encounters. Looking forward to your next Bloodborne video!

Just ran across this again. Very cool and great work reverse engineering the code to figure it out. When Yoko Taro said somebody would 'get in trouble' if this was found I'm betting it's because of the game crash if you're in the system menu. Quality Assurance usually isn't thrilled to leave in something that causes an easily replicable game crash. The obscurity of the code means that obviously nobody was going to stumble into it, but once discovered it means anybody who isn't careful can trigger the crash and that's no good.

I literally just got this game for Christmas because my friend got it for me. I just got ending E yesterday. And now all of a sudden, I get this stuff on my recommended. I can't believe there's still new things being discovered about this game. Great work on finding this out man! This is a HUGE find! :D

Now that I listen to it back it's certainly Kira, it didn't click immediately due to her performance as 2B being different from her usual voice but it's definitely her.

I played this game on my low end PC in 480p quality and yet, it still didn't go full 60fps. Unfortunately had to to unninstall it before doing the side-quests because had low space on pc and no external disc drive. But I purchased a ps4 a year ago and I'm about to buy the game and knowing this we help me spare a LOT of time even though I wanna play through the story again. So thanks for discovering this

They weren't. This is not meant to be found within the game. It's meant to be a reward for a fan who is as crazy about this game as yoko taro to dig through the code, and find out the secret that had eluded so many up to this point. It's a meta game, a game outside the game.

There’s probably a shit ton of clues around, outside of looking through game flies. Since the cheat code itself was the same as in Bayonetta, there are probably clues in other games.

Tested it out on an Xbone, it works Didn't pause the game but followed the same procedure on the Xbone controller, in this case it's Up, Down, Up, Right, Left, X, B, Y, A Worked the same way Haven't tested it on a PC game yet, but you probably can just hook up the Playstation or Xbone controller through bluetooth and it should still work. Also, bravo Lance for finding the code
