If you're talking about the rogue YorHa units they are only in one spot, by the highway/abandoned factory.

The real trick is when you press it correctly it starts playing "DOOOOOO DO DO DOOOOOO DE DA DEEP DOO DAP DEE DOOOOOO DA DA DA DEE DOOP DIP DEE DAP DOOOOOO"

It actually seems completely random. In my first playthrough I found them by the factory, then in my second playthrough I first encountered them
on top of the wrecked Goliath
Similarly, (light spoilers for a little later in that sidequest)
I fought them for the second time on top of the Goliath in my first playthrough, and I fought them for the second time on top of the building in the corner on my second playthrough.
If Nier Automata is convincing people to pick and play Drakengard 1 to completion, I will probably laugh to the end of time with the LTTP threads.
Have fun.
I think Nier is as far as people will go.
There is very little direct reference to Drakengard, and what is there isn't particularly meaningful.

Okay, maybe this is a dumb question, but is there a reasonable way to figure out what quests are missed when playing via the Chapter Select?
I load up parts of chapters that have a mission missing and see no red markers and only the usual missions available. Missions that I've done already.
It's a big city and going from NPC to NPC trying to brute force it seems can't be the way to go about doing this.
Any tips?

I've been clearing out sidequests today, currently at 73%. Man some of these that I missed are goooood
Also I have to say, really appreciate that the trophies are just for 80% instead of 100. I see certain quests that I'm like "ugh I don't want to have to do that" and then I'm like "oh! I don't have to!" haha. Excited to complete as much as possible and buy the rest
(just did Amnesia. result was obvious but the foreshadowing was nice)

How many quests you got left?
I know there are at least three that require some special conditions for completion.

I haven't started the game yet, but what are these "routes" people keep talking about? Is it similar to Nier's various endings that require multiple playthroughs? I hope the routes don't require full playthroughs lol
Route A - Playthrough 1
Route B -
Similar to Route A but from a different POV, along with new content
Route C - New Content
etc. etc.
Route C - New Content
etc. etc.

Ah gotcha, thanks.
Do the other routes require playing through the entire game again? I liked how the endings in Nier only required replaying the last bit of the game basically.
Route B makes you replay the majority of Route A, but from a different POV, but you do get new content. It becomes obvious once you see it for yourself.

I immediately sat up straight in my seat when I saw that lmao

context man
Got endings A through E and still have the same questions I had after completing ending A lol.
Overall, it's a good game. 8/10 for me. Major negatives are how easy and mundane the bullet hell sections were and how simple the side quests were. Very monotonous and the only reason I completed 90% of them was because I had so many questions about the world. I really need to go to the spoiler thread to flesh out this story but my initial observations are that there were no major plot twists to me...maybe because I expected the story development to happen or it went right over my head.

I saw somebody mention they were going after the Drakengard games in another thread, so there's at least 1.
There are a lot 5 letter words.
Good thing it was 4 lol

Finally got Ending C
Man that fight with the two big balls wasn't the worst boss fight I've ever done, but it is certainly one of the more unpleasant. It just wasn't very fun because it went on for way too long with the elevators and shit.
Man, that Devola and Popola story got me, but I kinda lost track of 9S and A2's stories by the end of C because there's so much that's being thrown in at once. I assume things will be cleared up on Route D? 9S's motivations and character arc was much too muddled to make sense for me.

Uh...
Route D is just the other ending, all you do is reload the final boss fight and select 9S instead

I screencapped it, no lie. I was like "Oh shit, they're breaking the 4th wall!" then I was like "Oh wait... >_____>"

Why can't I find anyone for the Yorha Betrayers sidequest? Got the quest a while ago and checked it out the areas multiple times. I'm about to get locked out

Ah, right! My brain got a bit fuddled after playing for 5 hours straight.
Perhaps things could be a bit more coherent on Route E, then?
I wonder what it was that those hologram girls gave to 9S. Was it legit revelations about Yorha, or just a virus that made him go haywire? I'm still not sure what happened.
Looks like I need to pay the game again,
I need any excuse to play again.
They gave him the final archive entry detailing how Yorha's backdoor was intentionally set up by the Androids who created the project in the first place, driving him mad from the revelation that his and 2B's entire lives were meant to end from the beginning. 9S can't handle the perceived meaninglessness of his own existence.
As for ending E uh...just get ending D first.

I thought he already knew those things at that point, because I remember reading about the whole Bunker backdoor thing WAY before that scene in the tower. But it does give "Nothing these machines do have any meaning" hold much more weight.

They definitely seemed to have messed up the intel on the disposal, seems they accidently include it in the Black Box intel we get in one of the soul box (I think is the name)
