Nier: Automata - Forest Castle Secrets and Treasure Locations

[@shodai4]

tip: when you manage to unlock the big doors at the end, DO NOT hack into the machine with the shield and kill it before it sees you. This will glitch the end of the quest- the tablet in front of the dead forest king will become unreadable and no cutscene will occur, so you'll be forced to go back into the previous room to respawn the shielded enemy and kill it properly. Learned this the hard way, was scouring around aimlessly at the end for a good half hour.

[@NazakoFND]

hes op ;n;

[@azzarri5541]

is it fixed?

[@shodai4]

@@azzarri5541 no clue. probably not, seeing as i played the game years after it was released and the glitch still hadn't been fixed.

[@nhutran4615]

It's fixed

[@kaintodan]

okay thxx

PSA: For those that can't make the jump at 3:53 , don't jump from the broken bridge on the right. Instead jump from the one on the left, then press X, reverse to face the broken bridge below and press R1.

[@QuantumVFX]

This was a tough jump. Yes jump from the left ledge. Drop down turn around and then rt trigger to fly into the doorway. It takes a few times. But it works. Thanks!

[@smokethc]

Jump once, glide, double jump, dash. That's how I do it.

[@ghosttkeeper]

But what about on PS4?? I'm losing my mind here cause I can't figure it out

[@russlecrowe287]

I love you

[@cliftonsargent1572]

Thank you for going to the chest even though you went there already, I would have never found any of this so thank you again. This is my favorite game ever only having 20 hours into it but your videos are the only reason I can beat it

[@scottbrady9477]

Push R1 and X at the same time to do the dash jump, and after that while still in the air quickly push X and ◻ at the same time up to 4 times to jump even further

[@scottbrady9477]

this can also be used to get to the quest marker near the city ruins center on top of a building, if you jump from the rectangle water tower you can make the jump it may take a couple of tries but it can be done. The quest is called Robo Dojo and the quest giver is father servo, i hope this helps

[@alexnelson8]

Thank you! This move is solid gold!

[@vgames1543]

Oh my, thank you!

[@SeriousGamer753]

R1 is light attack and X is turning the light on... What?

[@TheNickness]

Are these instructions valid for the standard controls? Cause I see you pick up stuff with R2 and I pick it up with square having the standard setting

[@bloodybubble4760]

I didn't know you could even jump like that using the bot. R1 X and the direction of the jump. The more ya know.

[@LadyRiven]

Holy crap, I had no idea about the R1+X+Left Stick move! Thanks so much!

[@Foolishambitionsrested]

Man that"s one thing i really love about this game: Bare minimum hand holding, that mid air dash that you use at 1:45 i never would have known it existed. Reminds me of dark souls and the dagger dash thing that lets you move through water and swamp areas faster, love it. thanks for the guide my good sir.

[@Timmy-mi2ef]

It's just having a high skill ceiling not really no hand holding

[@jponz85]

@3:51 wtf did he do to get that jump correctly as it looks like it just glitches and freezes and all of a sudden hes in third floor building. Cmon now...

[@ishaanjain3459]

Its kinda hard but you also just double jump and dash mid air from the right platform then hold the pod to glide there or you can also just drop from the left platform and dash towards the left mid air. Either way it’s possible to go there but if you fail you have to go back up again which is a pain lmao

[@Paintthesewings]

[@ishaanjain3459]

[@FunTimeGhz]

Best mission in the game.The side-scroll parts looked and felt epic to me,especially with a good headphones.

[@HUYI1]

I hated it honestly, the fixed forced camera for certain jumps made it more difficult to see the platforms or enemies.

[@AntiRiku]

@@HUYI1 yup agreed felt really clunky especially with enemies as you could barely tell what was going on and was basically just a button masher at that point

[@Bufudit]

Question. some of the chests I opened said "This park belongs to a machine lifeform." and I couldnt get it. How do I get those?

[@Turtle1057]

For those stuck at the jump at 7:32, I turned my graphics settings down and was able to make it

[@B.B.Digital_Forest]

I can't do special jumps in this game. How do I reach the ledge at 0:36?

[@sitabita262]

For PC, to do a dash jump (a jump while holding onto the pod), press the buttons you use for jumping and firing the pod at the same time. So, my jump is space, and my standard attack for the pod is shift. So I press shift and space at the same time. For a controller, from what I've gathered, it's R1 and X.

[@SkyRied1]

How do you even jump at 0:38? I can't do that jump not even if my life depends on it. I'm on PC.

[@bluei0702]

You just need to hold the direction (right) and do double jump. If the ledge is close enough, the character will grab on to the edge and climb up automatically

[@dreischrome]

holy how do you do this jump

at 3:50, you have to jump from the right side and glide all the way to the right, there is a ledge there you can land on.
