Essential tips and strategies for new Nier: Automata players.

1

Save Often After the Prologue

The prologue has no save points. After completing it, save at every Access Point you find. Death means reloading your last save.

2

Play All Three Routes

The game has Routes A, B, and C. You must complete all three to see the true story. Route B replays events from 9S perspective with hacking mechanics.

3

Collect Your Body After Death

When you die, your body remains where you fell with your equipped chips. Retrieve it or you lose those chips permanently.

4

Fuse Chips for Efficiency

Combine two chips of the same type at the shop to create a higher-level chip that uses less storage space. Diamond-shaped chips are most efficient.

5

Explore Side Quests

Side quests provide important lore, rare items, and emotional story moments. Many disappear after certain story points, so do them early.

6

Use Both Weapon Sets

You can equip two weapon sets and switch mid-combo. Light weapon + heavy weapon combos create unique attack chains.

7

Upgrade Your Pod

Pod Programs are powerful abilities on cooldowns. Upgrade your Pod at the Resistance Camp for increased ranged damage and new programs.

8

Do Not Remove OS Chip

The OS Chip keeps you alive. Removing it in the chip menu will instantly kill you, resulting in a joke ending.

9

Visit Emil on the Road

Emil drives around the open world in a truck. He sells rare weapons and items, and has his own side quest chain.

10

Perfect Dodge for Counters

Dodging at the last moment triggers slow-motion, allowing powerful counter-attacks. Master this for harder difficulties.
