here's the list, there are 59/60
http://nierautomata.wiki.fextralife.com/Side+Quests
you unlock the last one by upgrading all weapons to max
Just check the bunker at chapter 2 just in case as it was one I missed when I was cleaning up side quest.
Thanks this is what i needed. The Gathering Keepsakes quest was one i wasn't sure how to complete, but I guess I didn't finish the other quest first in order to do it.
I wish you could redo certain sidequests. i mean I like the fact that you don't have to do them again on different playthroughs. BUt I really want to do the sidequest (route C spoilers)
Amnesia since now you know 2B is also an E type model
Need to get home to do these things now. Love this game so much, but it's distracting me at work lol
How far are you in the game? Because i generally found them annoying and just ran from them unless they were close enough for me to jump and attack with Shockwave (which is just awesome by the way). I only really killed them regularly when (end game spoilers)
You play as 9S and just hack them
Isn't humanity all a little bit off

Routes spoiler.
Is the ending order CDE automatic? Or is another order possible. I want to experience CDE. Vague response please. I only started route C.

my way to defeat them was locking the core, getting close to trigger the dodge and counter with the pod shot (r1) so you can range attack the core even if it's far
Very easy to start a new game and the game isn't too long.

you can get DCE too

They're annoying. I just use Pod C's homing fire, and shockwaves from sword attacks. No lock-on on hard mode, so yeah.

So you must do C AND D before E?
Just play, it's easy when you get there
I guess there's no way to cheese them unless you're hacking.
Bastards!(says it in Lara croft's voice)

Targeting with the pod on the core (its like a giant gold orb on the body) and I use that perk that slows down time on evade (I think Overclock?) and when it triggers just go ham on the body.
You could hack them with 9S. If you hack them without getting their attention, you can have them fight be your side as well.

Its not automatic
You'll understand when you get there, don't worry.

Are there any quests you can't do as
that you can as
? Did almost none the first go around.
9S
2B
As far as I'm aware not many. The quests i got locked out of because I progressed too far i did next time around.

lol Man some people just need to play the game. A lot of these answers are just "play for like another hour" or "you'll find out" Don't worry so much
There are 4 that are exclusive to 2B.
If I remember right 3 should come from 6O by email and 1 is started by an NPC in the bunker

Did you find the smith in the Forest Castle?

It felt like a lot to you? I feel like you can run literally anywhere in the world to any other zone in about 2 minutes, tops.
Perhaps I'm used to games that really do consume huge amounts of time via traveling.

He's in the room below the boss. You can teleport to the boss room.No I must have missed that

I love how it changes the damage and healing colors. If you have it equipped throughout the game it affects the flight segments too.

Which chapter?

Sorry haven't beaten the game yet. He is there in route A and B. Don't know about the other routes.

No I must have missed that
Go to the forest royal chamber, when you spawn take a right out to the broken exterior bridge. Drop down and go left (underneath where you started) and theres a block to move with a hidden room
Any chapter, you just need access to the forest castle.
Teleport to the royal chamber save point, go right to the bridges, drop down to the ledge right under the one you are on. To the left, there is a box you can drag to make an opening to reach the smith.
I mean, you don't even need to go back to the main menu, as you can load any time you can access your own menu. But yes, you are absolutely correct which is why I've been very baffled about people spitting fire about losing their chips. The very lack of autosave makes it possible to absolutely pick and choose your consequences of death when it comes to losing your stuff. You die, and die again before you can recover your stuff? Load your previous save then, dummy. And you can even hedge your bets by making another save file after you've died. That way you can try repeatedly to recover your body and if you conclude that it is too hard, then you can load the other save from before you died in the first place.

Yep. Probably my favorite level 4 weapon so far, and I've done 12 of them.
(though I also admit I haven't had time to appreciate many of their level 4 affixes yet)
It's really easy to appreciate and get used to.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
As someone who's been more critical of this game than most, was
initially horrible at hacking
Leviathan fight. 9S's story is completely different from that point on and, in my opinion, much more interesting than anything from Route A.
I think it's a low point for sure. It's fairly quick if you beeline atleast.
Thanks!
I ignored all sidequests in that route and played it straight.Should be over pretty quickly.
Also 1 more big tip
Its almost pointless to try fighting enemies like in A.Its almost always just hacking which means you needn't be concerned about leveling up or upgrading weapons.
I've actually really enjoyed the few Nier 1 callbacks I've come across so far.
showing up was freaking amazing. Then, later on, being directed to
I think I actually said "no way" and had the biggest grin on my face when it was indeed
, even though it makes almost zero sense if I don't do some handwaving. (I'm happy to handwave for them.)
Now, minor question. After the battle at sea, a handful of sidequests shut off for me. Three I was waiting for my level to go up, one because I couldn't find the path to the last flower for
, and one for that runaway couple after I had just given them 50000 G.
Am I going to have to start those over on route B, or is the game nice enough to not take another 50K from me on a second run?

I'm sorry to tell you that you'll need to give them another 50K, this happened to me as well. This fucking couple became rich at my expense lol
I think I should be more annoyed, but instead I'm just amused. Probably because I've not really had money issues in the game.
So I think I'm screwed (late game sidequest and endgame mechanic spoilers)
Completely finished with endings A-E. Completed Emil's memories in route A, but triggered the point of no return in Flooded City before going back to the shopping mall elevator. Once I went back to it, I wasn't able to use the key, so I figured I'd try it on route B. Didn't work there, and it's still not working in any of the chapter selects I've tried. I'm guessing this is a bug? I've already watched a video of what's inside, but I'd really like to go there myself. Has anyone found a way around this?
