A Jaw-Dropping Map Detail You May Have Overlooked - NieR: Automata

[@AntiRiku]

any footage from this game makes me want to replay it

[@vgames1543]

There is also a Space Elevator. To unlock this scenery structure you'll have to help a scientist machine in Pascal's village. It is very costly, but you get a fancy alien mask and a new structure can be seen in the distance. It seems to be permanent once you completed the sidequest.

[@Shin_FTW]

Oh yeah I finished that back when I first got to Pascal's village xD Had a video showing me just going back and forth between the Half-wit Inventor and the ravine under the bridge by the mall. Great fishing spot for money. Not too hard to clear out even at Lv4, so it's a nice early fish pond xP

[@QM-QuizMan]

Space elevator? Where is it? Does it have any video/picture I can find? I wanna know cuz I never know about that before 0o0

[@Davenzoid]

@@QM-QuizMan once you finish the "half-wit inventor" quest you can just about see it everywhere outdoors, just look around the skybox. It's particularly visible in the desert area since the glow shows through the sandstorm.

[@sleepdeprived1759]

the scale of grun made me wish we could land on the back and explore his whole back like another factory environment.

[@ShogunTK]

Oh, woah! He's taller than what I expected. Yeah, if he'd reach land, we are screwed.

[@Shin_FTW]

I bet the factory on his back could've been an entire level in itself lol.

[@ShogunTK]

@@Shin_FTW That sucks, its to far to reach T_T But its structure is pretty damn cool. I'm wondering what can be the factory for? Hopefully its not an easy answer xD Though, out of all the times, why know? Why start attacking? He could really be a disaster if he'd reach land. The fact that the map can also detect him as an actual structure is pretty damn impressive and scary x_X

[@Shin_FTW]

Yeah. Not even Engels is shown on the map lol. That's because he'd probably measure as just a small silo in the factory on its back. Still not the biggest boss in video game history - not even close - but he's way bigger than he looked during the battle.

[@GTTB-227]

Yup it's gigantic, I guess it's easy to miss how big it is when you're facing against it because you're too busy with enemies around you. But I managed to do that while fighting the enemies, I was amazed. And when someone said that thing decimated everything and everyone a couple hundred years ago when it touched the land, I was like "no shit, this thing's collosal." (By the way this vid doesn't need to be 7 minutes long, you could've cut the redundant parts, just a suggestion, cheers.)

[@idlehour]

Thought you were gonna show the dropped cathedral City from Dragon-dragoon 3. (Drakengard IN US) off in distance to left when walking up. Part of tower ends up anchored there.

[@lycorice2219]

That's insane. It's been 7 years since I last played this game but here I am still finding new stuff in it that blows my mind

[@TsunaXZ]

bout to install Nier automata again because of this

[@NoNameNoWhere]

Nice find, definitely something I missed as well!

[@nexor7809]

the humanity appreciates your effort

[@dreadfullradu4726]

Great observation..... never noticed it. Thank you!

[@TheRedRaven_]

The map isn’t really 1:1 scale though?

[@dwaynesundown2038]

Why is this vid 7 minutes long

[@Shin_FTW]

Well, the first 2 and a half mins is me spawning and clearing the area so I can walk around freely. The next minute is showing Grun in the enemy archive as a refresher. Then another 40ish seconds looking at him from afar while talking about it. And then actually showing him on the map after familiarizing people with him.

[@dailydoseofshitpost751]

​@@Shin_FTW couldn't you just trim out the boring part while editing your video?

[@Davenzoid]

What is that move at 1:32?! I've never seen that before!

[@xarachne8473]

Pressing the light attack button while gliding does a spin kick. Can be used in combat but also good for increasing distance in traversal

[@Davenzoid]

@@xarachne8473 thanks for the reply! Although isnt the pod kick better for distance?

[@xarachne8473]

@@Davenzoid sure but you can do both in one go for even more distance

[@Davenzoid]

@@xarachne8473 oh nice, didnt realize that was possible

[@animeking1357]

Why does Simone's name and a few others come up as symbols like that for you? It's just normally in english in my game. Anyways it's nuts just how massive this guy is. No wonder they made a big deal about how bad it would be if he made landfall.

[@madhatter8167]

You've went through 9s' route. OP hadn't yet.

[@animeking1357]

@@madhatter8167 Ah.

[@dailydoseofshitpost751]

you could've showed the thing in like 2 minutes

[@gotem123]

How are you shooting lightning out of your pod?

[@Shin_FTW]

That's a second pod that you find in the Flooded City by fishing. Another can be found in the desert.

[@gotem123]

@Shin_FTW Oh okay, I was wondering if it was that one! Beat the game, sacrificed save data, started again and I STILL have never gotten pod B, only A and C. Haha, thanks for the info, imma go get em right now!

[@Shin_FTW]

@@gotem123 Np. If you wanna clear the Flooded City Special Rank DLC arena as A2, you need that pod at lv4 due to how its shot works when you release it. Very similar to Weiss in NeaR Gestalt/Replicant.

[@nikhilk.s.6398]

Brother you gave a massive spoiler. I hate you so much for that. I hadn't started this mission , and you gave away what happens.

[@Shin_FTW]

That's why you never look up or watch videos for a game/book/movie/show that you don't wanna potentially be spoiled on lol

[@firstorderblade4432]

what is wrong with you lmao. Why are you looking up videos of a game you haven't finished, and then blaming the maker for spoilers

[@Roswell_pr01]

That's your fault only

[@nikhilk.s.6398]

@@Roswell_pr01 The Video is titled - "A jaw dropping map detail you may have overlooked". The map is a bit hard to understand. I found the video when I was searching for videos about the map and its navigation. I wasn't expecting to hear a story spoiler. I hope that clears things up for you and everyone with no context.
