Nice to see you here :)

I'm glad, I've noticed a bunch of people skip around in the video and then complain about missing it in the comments. I was very specific in my warning about not completing the quest. I'm happy I was able to help you!

The idea is that it’s missable off you defeat him before the countdown AND you save over the file you have before you started the fight

​@Longardia hey I know you left this comment a year ago but I really hope you reply. Why won't emil appear back at the commercial facility? I did everything right

Nvm, figured it out

Unfortunately, yeah... A great spot to grind I would recommend is either the desert area where you fought Adam for the first time. The enemies there spawn infinitely, but if they are too weak, go to the entrance of the amusement park. Hit the rabbit statue over and over until it comes to life. You'll get a ton of exp for it. Although, it's more for exp than anything else.

You can always go to the super secret shop

@@delta606 super secret what?

@@thugginlove8270 it's a shop at the camp which allows you to buy trophies for the game. You can buy all of them if you want and unlock the platinum

@@delta606 i've never heard of that... where do you get it exactly?

The grind isn't bad if you know where to grind. There are a couple of infinite spawn locations that make for great material hunting/exp farm spots. For example the complex in the desert where we fought Adam. The easiest way to max out your level for sure would be to attack the bunny statue at the entrance to the amusement park section. It you do enough damage to it quickly enough, it'll wake up and attack you and grant you a RIDICULOUS amount of experience points. I only had to fight it like 3 maybe 4 times to reach level 100. However, you will need to rank up higher than lvl 57 to even wake it up. You'll need to get into the 70s to even have a chance.

@@Longardia yea nice, cheers for the tip!

@@fullyarns of course, no problem. If I may add as well. If you have the DLC, play through the arena modes to make your level up phase more interesting and rewarding. There are a few unlockable cosmetics and very surprising boss battles if you manage to make it to the end.

@@Longardia yea that sounds like a plan, after I calmed down I remembered I still have like 20 quests and the dungeons to do 😂 I was playing along for the story so hard I forgot the gameplay is a good time on it’s own😂

@@fullyarns That's the right idea! Good luck with your quest!

Your mom

This is why i love this game😂

Word to those who just run and gun without paying attention to any storyline. Not every game is for everyone though, but it’s a high probability you didn’t finish the game and just quit before the actual storyline began to unfold for you.

As a Nier automata 6 years fan,I can confirm: yes this is really a weird game

​@@karlligonnarickrollyou6872 I was thinking that "if I played the entire series, all my questions about the game's story will be answered". And I figured I was wrong, because it gave more questions than answers, so yes its weird 😅

I highly recommend you do this whole process with 9s because you need to hack the chest in Emil's home. If I remember correctly, when you switch chapters, progress on all quests not finished will reset.

You likely just have to start the process again and talk to Emil. (Visit the home for the first time after getting your invitation)

So make sure you have every weapon before starting this quest?

@@tha3immortals Doesn't require to have all weapons when starting quest, but it is good to have since you will need to upgrade all weapons (even those you didn't yet obtained) to max (upgrade lvl 4).

how'd it go

@@itsnyanii7498 i got grounded in january so i havent been able to play

@@kowone noooo that's so sad

@@marleyyenser It feels arbitrary, but unfortunately yes.

Without chapter select, you will be limited to using only 9S to do all the fighting. It's entirely doable, just harder. I would definitely recommend returning to this mission after you unlock chapter select and level up a bit more. The missable aspect of this ending comes at the very end of the mission so make sure you save often and use at least two save slots just in case you mess up.

​@@Longardiatoo late but. Everything is doable with chapter select right? I'm still at level 60 atm and didn't collect all weapons

@@alifnaufalmaulana6156 yes, I wouldn't recommend attempting this ending without chapter select unlocked anyway. Just keep in mind that when using chapter select all unfinished quest progress will reset and you'll have to start over. Luckily quests are pretty short though.

@@Longardia lucky I finished all of them hahaha. Aight thanks brah

Ikr? 50 hours for a platinum down the drain! No way I'm playing through the entire game again for this! Also, no way am I upgrading the weapons again, really saddens me that they did this for it.

@@antonydabossman4001 I got stuck and messed it up also. I said screw it and bought the achievement from the lady at the resistance camp.

Yeah why wouldn't you just buy the trophy at the resistance camp?

The way I have been recommending people switch characters is as follows, complete everything as 9s and start the final part by confronting emil in the shopping mall where he runs away as 9s as well. Then chapter select. The part in the shopping mall counts as a different side quest. So the quest progress should revert back to the point where you confront him in the mall and not further back. This way will allow you to complete everything in one go without having to redo anything. Based on what you have told me, it sounds like you did everything right, but worst case scenario, you will have to restart the process. Luckily it should be easier this time around since you're much stronger. This part of the process with people switching characters part way through has always been finicky and this happens to many people so you're not alone.

To get this ending you will need to have finished ending A. You don't need to get a,b,c,d and e to get this ending. Only A is required, although unlocking chapter select helps a lot

@@Longardia And how do I unlock chapter select?

After you finish ending C or D, it will unlock

@@Longardia Nice, really nice. Thank you for answering me!

@@xcarof Of course! Happy to help!

@@gui_silva23 yes, you should be able to back track from there now that you're technically on "ground level"

When you use chapter select, it erases your unfinished side quest progress.

Longardia yeah lol I didn’t think the quest was considered to be “unfinished” after you beat him the 1st time. But I guess it makes sense. How do people get to do this with A2 tho?

@@psychokud.4926 sorry for the late reply, you'll need to start emil's determination as your character of choice after you have collected all the weapons (and upgraded them). The one difficult one is the one in emil's home that requires you to get to his home as 9S. Just complete everything as 9S until you start Emil's Determination and you should be fine. If that doesn't work, you'd have to redo the whole process having already upgraded and found all weapons as you character of choice. If there is another way, I personally don't know it.

i also have all weapons lvl 4

I mentioned in the video that this ending is missable if you kill him. If you finish the quest it autosaves and there is no going back without a back up save file. If you let him explode like in the video, it'll kill you too giving you your ending this allowing you to redo that final fight if you saved your game like I recommended.

Longardia hmm, so I might have choked that :/ Welp, thanks for your answer, anyway, I will re-do the game lol

@@Echidnassu Godspeed my dude

I'm not really sure what the problem could be. There are several different places he could spawn. If you use chapter select at any point before finishing the quest your progress with that quest will reset. He should always spawn somewhere within the main city hub. I'd recommend using fast travel to possibly reset his spawn. I'm sorry, I hope this helps

@@Longardia Already did it. :) Thank you very much. I just need it to use transport and back again. That solved the problem.

Depends, how much of a completionist are you? And, how much do you enjoy the combat of the game. If it gets repetitive, not at all. The fact that you're asking this question probably means the answer is "no" in your case. There is no reward for getting every ending beyond personal satisfaction.

@@Longardia damn.... I mean I loved the game all the time, it woke up so many emotions that I still wanted to try my best on the current difficult I'm playing on (hard) I enjoy combat, but my problem is the time, I won't have the game for much more and I won't be able to afford it in a while, so many hours of grind are waiting for me now, thanks for the video and your references to grind guides, and weapon guides, and your efforts as well, I bet this video took a long time in the making, thanks

@@many3226 you could always lower the difficulty to speed up the grinding process, then crank it back up once you max out. But if you still don't think that'll be enough, as long as you got endings a,b,c,d,e and the secret ending through the DLC, you've seen 95% of what the game has to offer.

@@Longardia I guess you gotta do what you gotta do, a lot of clankas will pass away in the next 15 minutes, can you recommend me again your favorite places to grind please

@@many3226 depends on your level. If you are under 50, the desert area where you first fought Adam (infinite spawn Location), Or, if you're at least level 65 or 70, the rabbit statue at the amusement park entrance is the largest single lump sum of exp in the game. To wake it up, you need to do enough damage within a short period of time. It might take a few minutes to wake it up if your level isn't high enough. You can get from level 75 to max in less than an hour easily if you kill that rabbit enough times!

I'm not 100% certain, but I do believe that works fine. When you do chapter select, the only thing that doesn't carry over is mission progress, including side missions. I think what you're suggesting is what most people do anyway.

Longardia i just checked it and it works. Thanks a bunch, once again 🙂

@@gorgulyan123 Happy to help!

@@Adam-FR sorry for the late response, I'm glad you figured it out!

Emils determination is the last of the quest chain, once that mission starts, you should be safe to use chapter select. I would still drop a save just in case, especially just before the final fight as if you mess up the final fight, ending Y becomes unobtainable.

No problem!

If you have chapter select unlocked it should be an easy fix. I would recommend attempting it until you have.

This is definitely an "end game" quest that the developers expected you to complete last. A really good grind spot, once you get into the 70s, is at the entrance to the amusement park. Just whack the rabbit statue a few times. Your attacks have to do enough damage within a short period of time to "wake it up". If you manage to destroy it, it gives an enormous amount of EXP.

After completing either route C or D, as it unlocks chapter select. It's "doable" on route B, but much more difficult. This is meant to be one of the last things you do in the game. I wouldn't even recommend attempting it unless you're at least level 85

@@Kimpossi72 Yes, the last step of you do it incorrectly is irreversible. So in case you mess up it's good to have a save to fall back on. Quests cannot be repeated and ending Y require you to fail the quest at the last step. If you succeed in the quest you can't replay it.

@@Longardia Thank you! With my luck (hoping not) I would some how mess up. I got crushed in the factory trying to time those crushers and fight off the evil robots at the same time. Instant k.o.

@@Kimpossi72 I think that's part of the tutorial section which, if I recall correctly, did not have save spots. So you probably forgot to, because you were never promoted to.

Unless you saved prior to finishing the mission there is no way to undo completing the quest. Quests once completed on any run, will stay completed. Sorry, but unless you have a save prior, you'd have to start a new save file.

Sad, but thanks

@@feliperangel2112 yeah sorry, don't feel too bad though. A LOT of people make that same mistake.

Yeah, of course. Just make sure you complete "Emil's Memories" otherwise you won't have access to the quest line in this video.

@@Longardia alright thank you helped me a bunch im goin for the plat👍🏻

@@misredchips happy to hear! Good luck with your endeavor!

Yes, Emil's memories is a prerequisite to this quest.

It's a reward for completing part of the dlc for this game. The dlc comes with three arena modes (one for each character) + an extra ending. Each character has a dlc outfit they can unlock by playing these arena modes

@@Longardia thanks

And 2Bs happens to be kainés "dress"😅😂

This is one of the games that actually is "Hard" on "Hard" difficulty. Make sure You're taking advantage of the plugin chip system to upgrade your android. Otherwise the only way to get stronger is by grinding to a higher level.

I'm not sure if difficulty makes a difference, but I wouldn't recommend doing this quest line on anything lower than 75. You'll have to grind. There are a couple infinite spawn locations you could hang around in for a bit. But once you're in the 70s go to the rabbit statue at the entrance of the amusement park. If you deal enough damage to it quick enough, you'll wake it up. Destroying it will net you an immense amount of XP. You'll hit max level in under 30 minutes.

Your plus in chips should be on the ground near where you died most recently. However the will disappear if you die again. Being replaced with the chips equiped in that second life but again where you died the second time. Its essentially the same rules as dark souls.

You're not using chapter select are you? That's the only thing that I can think of that would reset progress

@@Longardia I used chapter select to get to 7-1 and followed the guide from there. Then after I got his heads I maxed em out and he spawned again

@@jay570gaming9 so he's resting the quest without you using chapter select between beating him and finding him again? If that's the case the game has to be bugged. I would recommend restarting the quest from the beginning (using chapter select). Since you already have all the weapons, you'd be able to play as any character at least

@@Longardia Alright thx I’ll try that

@@jay570gaming9 I wish I could be more help, Let me know if that works!

Its been a while, but which weapon you use doesn't matter so much as long as your character's level is really high. Leveling up your weapon helps a lot too. My favorite pod program for sure was the hammer since it appeared to deal the most damage when it hit it's target fully charged. If you need to grind head to the desert where you first fought adam, or go to the amusement park entrance and fight the giant bunny statue if you're around level 75. I wouldn't take on the Emil unless you are at least level 85. Your data will not reset. You have the correct idea though. Defeat Emil and when the countdown begins, just let the timer run out. Do not finish him off once that timer starts. It'll complete the mission and you won't be able to do the quest again. If you let the timer run out, you'll for sure get ending Y and you'll respawn back at your most recent save. That's why I recommend saving before the fight so that you won't lose progress. I recommend getting ending Y, then doing the fight for real and completing the quest on your second attempt.

@@Longardia love the quick response. I simply use the default weapon 9S has. I currently level 99 (max). Okay okay, this is my first RPG game + Data and all I need is Ending Y to get all endings. Thank you thank you thank you

@@animetrashghostly5380 Good luck!

@@harana- reward for S rank Gamblers Colesseum

As long as you have gotten chapter select unlocked, you can always swap. Just keep in mind any unfinished quest progress will reset when you do make the switch. Also, for future reference, at the beginning of each of my videos, I add the chapter I start on indicating which character I'm playing as. While the character you play isn't always important, I always include the chapter so that people know where to start and who to play. Granted, in this video I did put both 9s and 2b in the highlighted chapter making 9s bigger than 2b. Because this ending can be achieved with both characters, however 9s is necessary for at least one step of the process.

Unfortunately yeah, I don't know why.

You can, but you'll have to do it on route B without messing up make sure you have a backup save file just in case.

@@Longardia so i can only do this quest with 9S? Because I think I've seen people do the boss fight with A2.

@@G_Kostop In order to use other characters besides 9S, you'll want to use chapter select. 9S is required because of the locked chest in Emil's home.

But I have never tried to simply wait out the game instead of just using chapter select.

@@Longardia ok thanks. What level should i be with 9S in order to manage to defeat emil?( If that matters that is)

@@G_Kostop I'd recommend at least level 80, but if you're that high anyway, just grind out the last few levels by taking out the giant rabbit statue in the amusement park. It'll give you an insane amount of exp. If you don't know what I'm referring to, the statue of a rabbit just past the entrance to the amusement park will come to life if you do enough damage to it. It might take a while depending on your level.

Exactly. All side quests that are unfinished will reset when you jump between chapters.

You don't need to be max character level no, but it certainly helps.

Once you complete the quest properly, you can't redo it. I mentioned in my video how this ending is missable. You need to fail the fight during the countdown to get the ending. Unless you have another save file previous to the final confrontation, you won't be able to get ending Y.

Thing is as well, everyone is saying to not upgrade every weapon to max til you do this quest. Im shitting myself because this took absolutely ages@@Longardia

@@twnte_8399Okay, they might be saying not to worry about it until a certain point where it becomes necessary. I don't think upgrading weapons early will lock you out of getting the ending. However, using chapter select will reset unfinished quest progress, so if you already spoke with him and got access to his underground home and at some point used chapter select before finishing the quest, then the quest itself resets and you'll need to speak with him above ground again first.

Dont worry mate, Ive sorted it now. Thank you for being active on a very old upload though, appreciate it

For the final fight? That's entirely subjective. Considering the distance will vary often though I probably would use the OG pod for the consistent accurate damage. I've always been a fan of the hammer for my program since it's does so much damage and is satisfying. Weapons though don't matter too much since they will all be max upgraded anyway. I tended to play a little bit of everything and I'm not sure what is considered top tier. There are other videos on KZfaq for that.

Unfortunately, without another save to go back to, quests stay completed. There is no way to redo finished quests. (Without starting over) This is why I put a warning in my video to save before the final fight so progress wouldn't be lost.

@@robroyroyrob1245 that would likely be the reason then. If quests are unfinished when you use chapter select, quest progress resets. I recommend doing the whole thing as 9S, but if you need to switch, make sure it's after you start the final quest in the quest line. That way you can be sure everything up till you starting the quest where you have to find/fight him in the desert.

​@@Longardia You mean i play the chapter 7 complete as 9S to play it safe right?

@@robroyroyrob1245 the Chapter you do this quest on only matters as far as the quest being available (which is impossible for me to recall at the moment) and the character you want to play being available. (This aspect doesn't matter so much) I'm referring to the side quest itself where you fight Emil in the cave. When that quest ends and you start the quest where you fight him in the desert, that's where you should use it. Just make sure the quest is finished in your quest log before using chapter select. All unfinished quests will reset.

The games base difficulty also matters. There's a big difficulty difference between normal and hard difficulty. I'd never suggest fighting Emil at level 49. I am level 99. If you need to level up I know several easy ways to power level. Especially once you hit level 70+ there's an enemy that will give you so much XP that you'll reach level 99 in under 20 minutes.

I'm not sure, as far as I know that fight should not have any trick to it. If he's one shoting you, he's either hitting you with his 'judgement day' attack or you level is just too low. You shouldn't attempt the fight under level 70. You'll keep your sanity that way.

There are a couple different plug in chips that you can equip that have healing effects. Auto heal, damage heal, etc. I don't remember what I used, but I definitely had more than one.

You're under leveled for sure. This is end game content, one of the last things the devs expected you to complete. There are several good grind spots available that could have you at max level in an hour or so though.

You need him to unlock the chest in Emils hideout. After you complete that specific quest, (before the final fight in the desert) then you can switch to whoever you want. Or you'll have to redo the previous quest. Whenever you use chapter select to switch characters, all unfinished quest progress is reset.

You didn't use chapter select at any point before finishing the mission did you? If you use chapter select even to just switch characters, quest progress on unfinished quests will reset. You might have to redo the first few steps. That could be it, not sure tho...

Unfortunately, yes. Not sure why this is a requirement, but it doesn't take as long as you might think. If you check the wiki page, you can find farming spots for every item you need to upgrade your weapons.

I don't speak Spanish, but if you're asking about all weapons needing to be upgraded for him to appear, then yes. I don't know why that is a requirement, but it is.

that was portuguese. But thanks that was my question

@@VictorGabriel-dh7rg well now I feel stupid... Glad I could help.

Tem que melhorar todas as armas no máximo e falar com ele no shopping e depois ir no marcador no deserto (demorei quase uma semana juntando materiais e dinheiro pra conseguir, mas deu certo)

@@VictorGabriel-dh7rg "that was portuguese" GENTE EU TO PASSANDO MAL KKKKKKKK

Engine Blade and Cypress Stick

@@Longardia thank youu

@@Scoltren No Problem, here's a link with details on where to find them: nierautomata.wiki.fextralife.com/Weapons

Are you hitting him while his shield is up? I know during the end phase of the fight when you fight his heads individually, he should the heads you've already beaten and you can't deal damage to them.

@@Longardia no i mean his shop version

@@richardsonrichly8456 not sure. I can't remember if there was anything that would prevent that. He can be difficult to aim at sometimes, but if he's running around playing his music any amount of damage should stop him I think

80%+ of my audience come from English speaking countries, this makes sense considering I use English text to guide my viewers. So for recordings I keep English voices on. I don't know what the Japanese voices sound like for this game, but I have heard the Japanese soundtrack which was stellar.

@@Longardia Mate, i said nothing about your guide but you already got offended and pulling out statistics now? Btw the soundtrack is in made-up language, not Japanese. Unless your viewers are fascists, they will equally enjoy the original voice acting.

@@Todsor Calm down, I wasn't offended, I simply explained why I record my videos in English. Yes, most of the songs have a language that sounds like gibberish, but a few have actual lyrics that differ depending on your chosen language such as "Weight of the World" and "Birth of a Wish". I think you may have read my response as combative which I'm sorry if that was the case. I in no way wish to offend anyone.

No, but he is needed to unlock the chest in Emil's home. Just keep in mind if you use chapter select, all quest progress from unfinished quests will be reset.

@@Longardia thank you for your quick response! So if I fight Emil after I’m at 99 I get emils head and then I can chapter select and do other things or do I have to do it all in one go

@@kattt3474 complete Emil's memories as 9S. Emil's determination is the mission you want to play as someone else I assume (the final battle) To be safe, I would start Emil's determination (meeting Emil in the shopping center) then chapter select so you know for certain Emil's memories has been finished.

@@Longardia I’ve finished emils memories I’m on 99 and I just need emils head to unlock emils determination correct ? Sorry just making sure cause I’ve been working hard to get this done haha

@@kattt3474 yes, but don't chapter switch till you start Emil's determination or it'll all reset. You'll have all the stuff you need, but you'll have to fight him the first time again. Not too big of an issue considering your level, but still time consuming.

I always put the chapter I start on at the begining of each video.

@@Longardia thanks bro I’m kinda retarted

@@liamcarlson6197 lol, no problem. Sorry I didn't reply sooner.
