Just finished route C.
Am I right in assuming ending D is unlocked by choosing the other person in the final battle?
Yes and then go from there.

That was the turning point for me as well - the anticipation before the hacking explosion is pretty cool! After playing with 2B, 9S' attacks have felt a bit vague by comparison - stop-starty and a bit imprecise, but that's likely down to not having spent enough time trying things out with him. I'll try the spear with him next time I play
.Currently about a third of the way through Route B and still have so much desire to explore the universe. After Nier meant so much to me, the characters haven't quite connected with me to the same extent as the previous game (yet), but it's still relatively early days and either way, it's a wonderful experience so far.
Okay, can anybody tell me how I can cause
shop inventory to change?
When I first met him I could buy Plug-In chips from him, but now he only sells upgrade materials.
I've tried teleporting out, leaving by foot, even restarting the game, but he just sells upgrade materials now.
is it tied to story progression and I just missed my chance?

I think it's tied to where you stop/shoot him. He appears near the desert entrance, next to the starting building and then outside the resistance camp.
I just left the area or re-loaded then hung around the desired area and he eventually comes driving by.
He sells
mats, chips and then a couple of weapons depending on location.
It is certainly a little finicky though.

Man the bit near the start of route C where
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck did that make me mad. I ended up
So frustrating
Then when I finally got through it.
Fuck your trolling ways, Yoko Taro!
the virus is spreading through 2B and you need to get to the commercial district
getting punched and falling all the way down to the entrance of the Copied City. From there I had to contend with not being able to jump so I got right where I needed to and then, "Can I jump yet? Can I jump yet? Can I jump yet" Nope. Get punched and fall somewhere the fuck else
So frustrating
Then when I finally got through it.
Well, you know what happens
Fuck your trolling ways, Yoko Taro!
Nope. 2B is voiced Kira Buckland and A2 is voiced by Cherami Leigh.
Yeah that bit annoyed me lol. I get what they tried to do but fuck. Every single time you want to jump!Man the bit near the start of route C wherefuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck did that make me mad.

How do I know which items are safe to sell?

they say "Can be sold for money" in the item description, or something like that.
There are certain vendor trash items that are described as being able to sold for a lot of money. Otherwise it's a material
I think i have a bugged quest, the one for the guy that asks you to clean the storage room and at the end remains blocked inside the coty ruins, i defeat the enemies and reach hin but the prompt to talk is red.
Am i missing something?
They sound so similar though (beside lanugage lol)!

Time to put some Yoko Taro into my avatar
Try killing the machines in the vicinity . I had to kill some flying machines in the rooftop before being able to talk with him

It's a bug indeed. Try to respawn him by manually leaving the city area or restarting the game
Guys I'm starting this wonderful journey tonight (NieR is one of my favorite game ever)
So, two big questions:
Voices ? I would have chosen japanese without a doubt but Weiss and Kainé stunned me in the first one.
Difficulty ? I heard that the game is too easy on normal if you use the right chips. So maybe I'll play on hard but I was kinda bothered by the free aim in the demo.
Can't wait to play it I've heard so much good things about this miracle of a game.

Some of the enemies can get stuck inside the crates, make sure you don't miss any.
The English dub for this game is phenomenal and just as good as the first game. Can't go wrong with it.
Normal is a good balance for most of the game, but if you really try to absorb everything the game has to offer (like doing all the sidequest), you'll definitely breeze through it eventually. Setting it to Hard at that point might be good if you still want a challenge.
I'd go with English for a first playthrough. It's a great localization. There's a lot of talking during fights, so it's definitely recommended for a first playthrough.
There are no difficulty achievements, so start on Normal and just bump it to Hard if it starts to get too easy.
how can I get the
to respawn? I missed one of them in the City Ruins, and coincidentally that one drops a Powerup Part S which I need to upgrade my third pod. I finished the game on all the routes, and been using Chapter Select jumping all over but I can't get them to respawn.
golden enemies
Oh great ! I'll do that then.

wiki lists the powerup part as missable if you didnt get it. They all spawn on route B (just start art chapter 7-2
the aircraft carrier as 9S
Yesss
I think I'm close to finishing the game for the first time I just finished the

I want to thank whoever mentioned the pipe + crit build combo. Just hilariously OP.
Glad I looked up how to get that weapon, though. I would have never thought to

I've never been more exited to start a game over as I am right now, having done 100% side quests, found 100% of programs, 100% of weapons to max level, and got all pods to max level.
I'm level 99 now and nothing I do matters anymore because I can't lose to anything even if I tried.
I really REALLY wish this game had proper enemy scaling. I don't see any logical reason why enemies 90% of enemies stop leveling at 50. I might be more inclined to NOT start all over so soon, but as it stands I can't even enjoy the new programs and combos because everything dies in the first 2 attacks of any combo. Only thing I can do for some honest combat is fight the
over and over.
you can adjust the setting literally at any time.
nah. ain't nobody got time for follow-up posts to side conversations I wasn't especially interested in engaging in the first place. just making sure you were aware. if you were, good for you. carry on.

Have your spear as your first weapon, and your heavy sword as your second weapon. Then you do your heavy attack.
Spear in the fast attack slot and 2h sword in the heavy attack slot. Press heavy after a few light attacks. Unless I have that backwards? Just going off of memory.
All the weapons have custom attacks depending on what they are paired with.

gotta experiment guys! This is also how you discover things like hitting gauntlets with greatswords like they are baseballs.
I have the DG3 trophy, if what you are saying was an achievement, I wouldve hit up the vendorThis should've been a trophy. Just imagine the reactions.

Plot twist: is the only unbuyable trophy.
I don't usually care for Platinums, but getting the D3 one surely was an unique experience.

platinums for me are are only when I need something else to keep me playing the game and there is nothing left built into the game for me to do.
For DG3, I had all trophies but that, and I only did it because I wanted to see it through to the end, not because of the trophy
