Well, the game just froze when I fought the ball goliath boss for second time.

Did anyone else have this problem?

Ahhhhh yes! I got one freeze in my play through and it was there. Luckily it only happened once and everything was fine after a restart. Haha I knew I got one freeze and I was trying to remember where but it was that location for sure

 

[Drewfonse]

So I just finished route B, I was level 33 at the end...had zero trouble throughout route B as everything was fair game and similar to how enemies were leveled against me when I was on route A...i.e. most would be around my level but the major enemies would be anything from 5-8 level above me.

Now I start route C and wut? Why am I fighting enemies that are level 50 and then the next being a level 60? How am I suppose to beat at my level?

Is this how it's supposed to be? Wow.

 

[MechaX]

I'm getting towards the end of Route B and just got a hold of some "top secret" data. (Spoilers for the first Nier as well)

Spoiler

On behalf of Papa Nier... "my bad, didn't mean to essentially doom humanity, I just wanted to save my daughter."

 

[Labolas]

Fuck, finished Route A. Man, what an ending.

Spoiler

9S is like Emil, lol. So the red eye disease spread to androids? How did the machines get infected?

 

[Labolas]

Yes lol, when he went back a bit. Had to restart the game. I'm on the Pro.

Ahhhhh yes! I got one freeze in my play through and it was there. Luckily it only happened once and everything was fine after a restart. Haha I knew I got one freeze and I was trying to remember where but it was that location for sure

Good I wasn't the only one then. Hopefully another patch will address the issue.

I accidentally killed the floating machine near the entrance with a shockwave and I felt like a fucking monster. I'm pretty sure he respawned, though.

Do you remember

which machine it was?

Just some random on the bottom level close by the sisters' house.

Reloaded my save just to be safe lol.

Where did all my side quests go?

After completing Flooded City my quests disappeared. I had bunch completed but I didn't turn them in.

Anyone?

please don't tell me I lost progress on six side quests.

If it wasn't a quest-giver then it didn't matter mechanically. The only thing you would have had to worry about is your conscience

The game doesn't have a backup script for when 9S is gone, so you can't do quests without him.

No significant plot spoilers, but you may not wish to click this anyway:

Spoiler

Unfortunately, you've passed the point of no return, and I think that unfinished sidequests aren't saved, though I'm not positive about that.

You'll get another chance to do them next playthrough.

Regarding sidequests:

Spoiler

Some sidequests, but not all, are available again on route B. Other sidequests on route B are new. But regardless you unlock chapter select after a certain point in the story, nothing is permanently missable.

Really lame that the game doesn't warn you though.

 

[Animator]

Just picked this up. Any advice for a new player?

don't play hard on the first stage. If you want hard difficulty, do it after you finish the first stage and have save unlocked.

 

[Jocund]

Don't sweat if you miss some sidequests. There's a comprehensive chapter select available later on.

 

[Rizzi]

I don't think hard mode is very fun. :x

 

[Eklesp]

This game is great, huge grin whenever doing a boss fight, they are so fantastic. Little confused about chips still, just doing automatic. Also if I should be buying weapons or finding them since I have found a few already.

Have to watch a video of the

adam and eve

encounter, I didn't hear anything that was said since I was fighting and couldn't multitask lol. Sounded important though.

 

[Fisty]

Ok I think I'm stuck, I went down some rock outcroppings on the cliffside with the long rope bridge, barely killed all the level 25 enemies, got the Phoenix Dagger, but now can't get back out... can I unequip all my stuff and suicide safely?

There should be an elevator you can take back up (if you're where I think you are)

Edit: the very last part of the area has water? If so from that area turn around, the next area is a robot graveyard and on the right hand side of the area after the grave yard there should be a working elevator

You can climb back out. It's kinda wonky, but you can do it.

Sounds like he's having issues after taking the elevator back up?

I thought that might be a problem. I'm not 100% sure if it's always active or not

 

[Chilikar]

Damn, the game crashed again. Lucky i saved 10 minutes ago.

Anybody else got some crashes? (getting kicked into the home menu / game closed)

I've had it pretty bad, the game has crashed on my ps4 pro twice, and once it completely shut down my ps4... During a save. If I didn't have ps+ I would've lost 26 hours in progress. Instead I had to deal with the 4 hours in progress lost

I'm suspicious that it might be a problem with long gaming sessions and rest mode. Might be a memory leak somewhere in the code

 

[Son Of Sparda]

Ahhhhh, I think I screwed up.

Close to end of Route C

I just couldn't decide on

Spoiler

killing or erasing Pascal's memory so I thought if I just left the factory he'll live on as is. But when I got outside he said I'm too cold and that I left him in that situation all alone.

I should've just erased his memories. I don't want him to die! Please don't kill yourself Pascal T_T

Sorry yes, I take the elevator back up but can't seem to get back through the waterfall, is there something I'm missing? I can't seem to jump far enough on the way back

EDIT: Ahhh was just not making the double jump right, finally got it

 

[MechaX]

Started Route C... hoooooly fuuuuck.

Yeah, you are a sucker if you don't finish the game before getting to Route C.

I really love how he puts you on these spots. Even though every decision is heartbreaking.

Haha I failed that jump a couple of times too. It's okay

 

[Bossking]

Just finished Ending A. New game+ immediately starts out strong. Love it.

So, side-quests carry over, right? I won't have to do them again?

Spoiler

Also, when does the elevator in the mall open up again? I missed it on playthrough 1, was busy with all the other shit going on once you get access to that last lunar tear.

How do I stop listening to Weight of the World??

Also I must have been lucky, my playthrough was 40 hours without a single freeze/crash/bug

You listen to Dynamic Wretched Weaponry.

Also, holy shit. Finally got Ending E. Spoilers inbound

Spoiler

fuck you Taro I fucking hate you you fucking mad man. Please keep doing whatever it is that makes you create such wonderfully aggravating pieces of art.

I bout shit myself at that entire thing. Someone's played too much Undertale.

Hell of a ride. Now for trophy cleanup!

 

[Jotakori]

Ooooh my god, Route C

Spoiler

I stopped by the amusement park for a side quest (I'm around the beginning, after you finally get control of A2 and 9S) and ooooohhhh my god the machines look sO CREEPY, WITH THEIR FACES AND STAGGERiNG AROuND fkjla;d;ak
Also this is making me feel really sad that there's no longer the parades and stuff going on. Even tho that was also kinda creepy, at least they were happy and lively.

Damn, tho, I'm so unnerved right now by this.

 

[nikos]

Just finished route C. What's the proper way to go back and select the other option to get the true ending?

Use chapter select and go to right before the final battle with 9S/A2. From there you can pick the other option

[Dandy Crocodile]

What the actual fuck at the beginning of route C.

Spoiler

I figured I was supposed to die when the machines started disabling all my shit so I tried just running and shooting, picking them off one at a time, feeling the area. They just keep coming. I'm supposed to beat these dudes? I only level 40.

Drop difficulty. Then try really hard.

That part is impressively... oppressive.
