Yeah. I also checked on top of the Goliath and over and under the bridge. They're not hidden or anything, right? When you get there, they should appear in plain sight?
Speaking of quest weirdness: I tried the quest where you're supposed to find three different spots in the world. Found the spot in the forest and amusement park, wasn't really hard. They were marked on the map as well.
The oasis however isn't marked and when I go there, nothing happens. It's the one to the northwest of the desert, right? With it's own save spot and everything. Or is there another one?

Question:
Any reliable way to farm meteorite and gold ore?

Easiest way to obtain meteorite is buying it from the inventor if you do his sidequest

I thought he sells meteorite shards/pieces?
I have one more trophy left and it's the max out all weapons.

So, I experimented a bit and noticed that +8 chips with Diamonds are not the best.
Don't bother with them seriously. Let's take Drop Rate Up for example.
It caps at 90% and since you want to use other chips aswell, you would want the lowest costs possible.
So take a look at this:
---------------------------------
+8 Minimum Cost [21] Drop Rate 90%
---------------------------------
+7 Minimum Cost [17] Drop Rate 80%
+0 Minimum Cost [4] Drop Rate 10%
= +7 & +0 Minimum Cost [21] Drop Rate 90%
---------------------------------
+6 Minimum Cost [14] Drop Rate 70%
+1 Minimum Cost [5] Drop Rate 20%
=+6 & +1 Minimum Cost [19] Drop Rate 90%
---------------------------------
+5 Minimum Cost [11] Drop Rate 60%
+2 Minimum Cost [6] Drop Rate 30%
=+5 & +2 Minimum Cost [17] Drop Rate 90%
---------------------------------
+4 Minimum Cost [9] Drop Rate 50%
+3 Minimum Cost [7] Drop Rate 40%
=+4 & +3 Minimum Cost [16] Drop Rate 90%
---------------------------------
As you can see +4 & +3 chips with diamonds is the best setup you can achieve, as you get 90% at the cost of 16,
where any other setup will get you above 16.
It's almost for every chip that way. I think there are a few exceptions.

That's correct: he sells shards, not full meteorites.
Also, I'm like 10 mats away from being able to level 4 9 different weapons at the same time.
Time to get serious about farming those out.
He will actually sell meteories as well. Eventually.That's correct: he sells shards, not full meteorites.

There is a properly clean oasis elsewhere in the desert. It is partially hidden by the sandstorm as you need to approach it from a quite specific angle to reach it.
Just gotta stand on the edge and talk to it when it gets close. Might have to try a few times.

Well shit.
Also, that hat he sells is fucking hideous. I actually reset to my previous save because I couldn't believe how much of a waste of money that was. It's offensively bad. I'd rather keep my $100k, thankyouverymuch.

I found this weird too - if anything, stand a little further back from the ledge. There's quite a few times I've found that being closer to an NPC makes it harder to get the 'O' to come up - I managed to get the flying robot's attention eventually.
Like when I spent ages climbing up and down

Got the game delivered a day in advance. Can't play until tonight. I'm so sad. Ah well at least I'll be able to play while the update downloads.
Do all the endings require you to do shitty sidequests like NieR ?

No, only few chips have a better combination with lower tiers than an +8 outright.
I think it's just standard combo with bracers and large sword.

i had this problem one time, i think it's a bug. just reload the game.
Dreams-Visions

ah. a combo I never bothered to try. lol
edit: also, is there a way to get to the quest that sits on the roof of one of the city ruins buildings closest to the desert opening? It appears to be too high to get to by any conventional means. Do the means open up in later playthroughs or something?

Grats! That time fills me with hope.

i don't think any of the endings of nier required you to do side quests
you needed all weapons for endings c and d in the first game, and i guess side quests were required for a few of them
i don't think this is the case for this game though. from what i've heard nothing like that is required for the main endings (correct me if i'm wrong
i think one of the extra/joke endings requires all weapons to be maxed tho
still, the vast majority of sidequests in nier weren't as bad as their reputation, and they're much improved for this game, so
hydrophilic attack
Member
you can get there by jumping gliding from a water cistern on the roof to the east(?) i think
you may be better off holding off on this particular side quest for awhile though; it gets pretty rough
ShadowSoldier89
Member
you are right on how to start it, but I just want to add that its fine to start it relatively early, as the quest progresses it turns into different quests entirely. So you dont have to worry about progression
That is very likely Father Servo and you can finish that quest line in route A if you're so inclined and there are no secret, ultra-special tricks to getting there.
The move that you're likely missing to get the air-time and length you need is the swing-from-the-pod move you get by pressing jump and fire at the same time. You can reach the rooftop from either building next to it. Just start from the highest spot near the edge facing the way you want to go.

LOL I'm at nearly double that and still not done. I'll admit I've not been particularly efficient at doing this, but still...
That said, main thing holding me back is being only 92% enemy intel complete, and I'm pretty sure I know what I'm missing,
You don't even need to do that. Just jump off from a sprint and air dash forward once and glide a bit. It should be enough to get you to vault over the ledge, at least. Your technique is useful for a couple of hard to reach chests though.

Decided to get this instead of ME:A and sounds like its right up my alley from the impressions and reviews. Here's hoping it doesn't disappoint.

Let us know how it goes. Don't feel I need to say it but won't hurt to say to play beyond ending A.

I haven't been able to put a lot of time into it yet but if there's a decent amount of weapons there should be a good amount of combinations, between light/heavy and the upgrades for each I mean.

Any specific chapter or once you finish his quest and buy all his stuff up?
Speaking of hats
I only wear
Emil's Head
Edit: What about Gold Ore? I think it's a rare pick up in the deep caves on the way to a certain someone's hideout.
Dunno. I had bought the hat and a few shards from him earlier, and he was selling proper meteorites when I visited him far later into the game. I don't have any specifics on how or when.
CAN be found all over the place with low chances, but once you clear route C the shop keeper in the Amusement Park sells them.

Left it last night end of route B on a quick replay. The upcoming bit with early C, not entirely looking forward to the major spoiler
. Being such a well-realized sequence makes it hit harder.

I'm sure stuff will get answered eventually, but this has definitely got me thinking!
Oh and fast travel unlocked! Time to finish off all the sidequests!
You can buy all his stuff in one go as soon as you encounter him, and he will start selling
and
right then.
alien ship?!
these guys (Adam and Eve) have been around since forever, why did we just see them just getting born in that desert boss fight? Was there some huge time skip between my access point visits?

Hmm... fair enough. Looking forward to how this progresses now.
Hi everybody,
This has probably been asked 100 times in this thread but I've been hearing about these multiple endings and multiple playthroughs.
Is this like 999 where you pretty much replayed the game multiple times and just picked different options at various junction points whilst listening to the same conversations over and over with a few responses changed here and there?
