NieR:Automata - Emil Secret Boss Fight (Very Hard Difficulty)

[@pneumaofficial9581]

The easiest way I found to kill this guy is to max the Ancient Overlord so u can cancel his projectiles, and revive one of the player bodies. They do a ton of damage to him for some reason, so all u gotta do is sit back and dodge the lasers while canceling his balls

[@thatguy8711]

Thank youuuu

[@ELNENE169]

I'm deeply conflicted with this boss fight, emil is too good a character to be a dick to, and how submissive he is at the end of it, jesus...

[@solstratus8444]

thank you so much for the idea of using shield. honestly I just Brute forced it and pounded him into submission at lv 76. died once but saw your video and said yes shields, guess you can't douge them all.

[@o0XLR80o]

Clever use of chips/weapons, cant believe I didnt think of that too. Thanks to this video I used Bullet Rupture and the Evasive/Slow chip it was much more doable on hard mode...not as good as you tho as I still got hit a few times.

[@DJGamingSmash]

I'm a level 75 and I deal next to no damage on him in this room and he takes me out in 2 hits. I tried using my 300 healing recoveries, which helps me take out a third of his health, but eventually he lands two blows too quickly. I'm took the cowards way out and bought the achievement from the Resistance Camp since it was so cheap and would save me an extra 10 hours of gameplay if I just searched all the different Emil endings. Trying to find his flower in the desert was impossible. I also equipped my scanners to help that resistance member, found the exact spot the relics were, and the game would let me take the items.

Me da mucha pena vencer a este Boss. Para empezar le robas sus cosas, y luego lo vences en un intento de defenderse, y al final, después de su triste conclusión, se rinde y te entrega su casa.😔😔 No puedo evitar sentirme un monstruo. Lo siento mucho, Emil...

[@bellinoasunsa430]

SPOILER FINAL Y No, bro, más encima lo matas cuando te encuentras con los Emils. Trágico, Emil no se merece esto... 😭😭

[@mastemah389]

Aquien le importa detodas formas lo tendremos que destruir alfinal y el no lo sabe

[@balkthor]

Oh FUCK. THIS. I was just exploring doing some mid-level cleanup before finishing ending B, and I accidentally triggered this boss fight. Now I can't retrieve my chips which I worked my ASS off for, unless I farm all the way up to 99 right now without dying, which let's face it, ain't happening.

[@agadez4015]

My heart was pounding

[@nottie8]

There's a point when Emil finishes his giant gold ball, it explodes and then, i die. I guess i hace to Kill him before he kills me, don't i?

[@Kullen64]

Yeah you have to attack it before it self destructs.

[@nyaqua]

Wait what? How did you reuse shield while you still had cooldown on pod skill?

[@NekoUltima]

You can get 3 pods, the cooldowns are seperate for each pod. Put shield on all 3 pods and you can keep the shield going for longer.

[@nyaqua]

oh wtf, i almost 100%'d game by now and i was pretty sure cooldown is shared >_> good to know

[@olstech24]

Is it me or did you take no damage during that fight?! Awesome- Literally just finished the game 10mins ago.

[@NekoUltima]

You die in 1 hit on very hard so yeah, you have to not take any damage.

[@mooganify]

So you came here to see what you missed cuz you deleted your save right? Haha

[@VlasicPickle]

You're amazing! :o

[@GMOTP5738]

This boss fight makes you feel like an asshole, seriously, actually this whole quest does 😔

[@Cyber_Engineer]

and it's unavoidable if you want to truly pass the game.

[@Cyber_Engineer]

also in this boss fight hacking is worthless. I managed to use it only once. I think 2B is better choice.

[@attackcrash655]

How TF did the aliens beat an army of Emil that's some huge ass cap right there

[@irdorath2113]

They dont.

[@bluethunderbolt9631]

I don't think they did as much as the Emils just lost themselves. And considering how effective a single unit is, it's no wonder they attempted to imitate him with their machine designs.

[@_QWWQ_]

I didnt know that place .. I thought you re going to a commercial facility

[@henri_leviette]

i couldn't make it when he only had like a quarter of a healthbar. tried so hard this time but it's pretty amazing to know i could made it that far jkjkdfhjasjadadjk, but Emil turned out to be both fearful and hilarious at the same time during this fight with that madness in his moving around. well, thanks for ya inspiring ^^

[@ChrisMorray]

What's that wave you use to clear all the projectiles? Is it the wave Pod program? Also what chips did you use and what levels are your pods? I'm a bit of a noob on this and I failed to beat him on normal difficulty, I was constantly trying to hack him and deal damage with burning, since my other attacks kept doing 0 damage.

[@NekoUltima]

Chips at the end of the video. As for clearing the projectiles, I think it was the "Bullet Rupture" skill on the sword I was using. It creates a shock wave then you hit a projectile with the sword which causes a chain reaction with nearby projectiles.

[@chrismartinez188]

Yeah that looks so much more easy without all those faces trying to 1 hit kill.

[@dicky5678]

im currently 58lv and deal no damage on him...are you playing at the 2nd walkthrough? Your 9s lv very high.

[@NekoUltima]

This is after 3rd playthrough at some point

[@rommymoore8114]

I'm very impressed. You gotta good game chair for sure.

[@supportbrah4912]

is that blast he does when below 10% avoidable in any way? i'm trying to beat him with a vengeance chip build at lvl 62 so i cannot do enough dps to kill him by the time he releases EDIT: i just beat him

[@NekoUltima]

I don't think you can avoid it, you'll have to either level up more or use better damage chips.

[@Ansive]

I was trying this without 2B... No wonder I was failing. I'll also equip the dagger. You can tank some hits on very hard if you have max ranged defense and hp chips and use the salves as well.

[@jlowmc5113]

Why the chest doesn't appear in his room?

[@Esberns]

How are you clearing the room of projectiles?

[@NekoUltima]

The sword im using destroys projectiles if you hit them with it.

[@Esberns]

But how do you hit every bullet at once like you did at 3:35? Is it some kind of pod program?

[@NekoUltima]

Destroying one destroys nearby bullets too which will then destroy bullets near those. It's like a chain reaction.

[@IntelKid_]

NekoUltima what sword are you using?

[@azrael5493]

[@jacquiwhittle9949]

Do you remember what chapter select you used?

[@thetruhudson3287]

Im trying to figure that out too

[@liljawz_og]

Choose chapter 7 reporting to Pascal and then go to the sewer at the city ruins. You can only do trigger this fight on route A or B

[@azrael5493]

@@liljawz_og that's not true, you can trigger this fight in route C, you just have to play as 9s

[@GCT1990]

How are you putting up such damage? I spent 20 minutes just to get his health kinda close to a quarter way down on easy mode yet here you are destroying the guy

[@thetruhudson3287]

What chapter do i gotta be on?

[@berrybee9242]

any, just play as 9S

You are a wild Monster xD

[@maxkraus7063]

Nice, how many tries took it for you to achieve that?

[@NekoUltima]

Probably a couple dozen tries? It's been a while since I made this video.

[@vSpade]

pretty impressive. i mechanically suck on PC so i took the shortcut with last stands/crit with usurpers and P shield

[@Yoleag]

Omg you so very good bro, I don't know that sword does that with the bullets thx

[@atNguyen-ye4jl]

Shockwaves did clear them I think

[@Haetora]

nier automata was such a cool game...

[@zabugd2379]

Why is the fight not hard on normal. I thought it was gonna be hard and I got excited to die fast but I one shot him now I’m sad.

[@CorbinSharpe]

How do you get those balls to go away?

[@FFExpertise]

Nice to know I'm not the only one who beat Emil on very hard+lvl 70 range. Nicely done!

Lol you ACTUALLY thought YOU were the only one to have EVER beaten this? You're fuckin pathetic.
