Nier Automata "Hidden Church" Boss fight and Ending

[@DevolasRevenge]

❤️

[@lorenzovonmatterhorn2905]

Fun fact, the Nier Automata v1.1 anime, which is a new timeline/branch of the original game and is personally written by Yokotaro, has adapted the Copied City’s Church location. This mod is now semi canonish.

What? Where and when?

[@boiyonetta]

Who ever made this mod has an appreciation for the Drakenierverse They included elements of the Gestalts/Shades from Replicant as well as the 5 intoner statues from Drakengard 3.

[@Cetra29]

I wish this was real. The Copied City lacked something.

The work people put into these mods with the church is amazing. It looks so good and fits in so perfectly!

[@justsomeguywithasandwich5906]

“Hey, Zero.” * music plays * No…not now, my heart can’t take it.

[@The_Novu]

This sounds exactly like something Taro would've done himself if he had the chance. It fits perfectly with the lore.

[@AMetalWorld]

It is a testament to the stylization, aesthetic, and implementation of assets of Nier that I would have no idea this wasn’t official if I wasn’t told, and I 100%ed the game lol

[@LutherTaylor]

For real!

[@RD-ii8sq]

They should make this real. Nothing wrong with some new dlc for this outstanding game

[@jadebayoba7073]

7:55 no, my heart can't physically take this, no

[@InktheImpassive]

Its a decent homage to Drakengard 3 but It would have been nice if this was expanded into two paths First path is a reference to the entirety of Drakengard and the Second path is a reference to Nier Reincarnation since you can equip a Mama skin for the Pod in the End of YoRHa version.

[@takeru9391]

That would be really cool. I finished drakengard 3 2 days before the big twitch reveal so it really got to me. I still havent played Nier ReIncarnation tho.

[@seraphkiel6456]

What would be a fitting boss for Re[in]carnation? Levania? Tatarigami (that Giant moose in the Cage)?

[@seditious2253]

ahh the zero & mikhail mention! love the drakengard 3 reference, so cool that all of yoko taro's creations are connected.

[@takeru9391]

I think that is really great to. And the pure crossover nature of Nier automata is so cool.

[@MooseEatsBears]

Just so you know, everything in this video is a fan made mod!

[@Darth_Bateman]

It’s actually horrifying. The machine life forms ark is basically them becoming the new “Watchers”. Given how splintered and more android like Machines are, the next NiER is probably going to be Drakengard but they don’t know they are machines.

[@elzi8391]

you guys killed it!!! you made something beautiful for a beautiful game. i fucking respect it. i love modding communities and am so glad nier has one.

[@anxiousdemon]

I think this is beautiful, like it was already so well made when we were still unsure whether it was real or not, but this was so wonderfully made. You can feel the love and passion in this, I feel this mod adds to the argument of video games being an art form. Well done

[@JUISZE]

dude it just does NOT LOOK FAKE! I really don't get it...what's with the voicelines and small 'cutscenes' ... this is is kind of annoying that it's not real... wth

[@TheNerfer]

This feels way too legit to not be real. Like, I would not be surprised if this was some secret ending that was only just discovered.

[@takeru9391]

we hoped so

[@deltaxeno7807]

My attempt to break down the references: Phase 1: I'm guessing that's supposed to be a copy of Yonah where the flower is within the church itself. The boss itself being NieR. Though, that feels all kinds of wrong. [Boss Model: Eve] Phase 2: The chained status look a lot like either Zero or The Flower in general from Drakengard 3. While I'm not sure what the boss itself is a reference to, it does remind me of Drakengard 1's final boss (Ending E), the Queen-Beast. [Boss Model: Red Girls] Phase 3: Ok, yeah no, that's Zero alright. [Boss Model: Adam] Phase 3-2: More allies for both the player and the boss itself. It's hard to tell, but your allies seem to be Zero and someone else. As for the enemy, the Red Girls-like bosses make an appearance. [Boss Model: Red Girls]

[@takeru9391]

The statues are directly ripped from the last drakengard 3 boss. but besides that, really good break down

@@nightwish1453we don’t know for certain he DIDNT brainjack the modders in preparation. Mr Taro is crafty… and also a troll. In all seriousness though this mod is extraordinarily well made and the secretiveness around it was after Yoko Taro’s own heart he’d be so proud

[@DaffWings]

*Slight spoiler* Ngl, I teared up when I realize what the ending was telling the story of. A lot of us has a big care for the Drakengard series. As I realized who's hand that was reaching for the Lunar Tear, when I realized why the hairs of the models in the darkness felt familiar, when I rewatched the ending and realize the placement of the Lunar Tear to the hand was really close to where Mikhail was when the final blow was struck... On the real, thank you for creating this. You warmed a fans heart real hard with this, truly

[@lyratsura2243]

Had to return after attending the end of data concert. The church is semi canon now 😅 I wonder if yoko taro saw this and decided yep I should include this

[@TrueKingOmega]

AFAIK Platinum Games, and by extension Yoko Taro, haven't commented about this mod. But I don't doubt they are impressed by the connection made in this mod back to the Drakengard series

[@takeru9391]

Yoko taro Said that he has nothing todo with it i think. But 1 cool little nod was that the english voice for 9S was on the hype train aswell.

[@pwice]

I hate you can’t play this with a2 I know nobody agrees with me but I never did like 9s

[@takeru9391]

I think 9S has the best character development but A2 would fit aswell.

[@Happyfoam-lw3yt]

Lol, this situation got me banned off Reddit. I said it was a modder because literally NOBODY could replicate it, and everyone was calling me stupid because "the game is leik totally unpossible to mod" (wtf does that even MEAN, bro?). Ngl, the sheer stupidity of everyone claiming just one dude had a magical copy of the game sent me over the rails and I got permabanned. Good times.

[@takeru9391]

At that time the modding capabilities for Nier Automata werenr so advanced. Tge only thing people were able to mod are Weapon model swaps and custom character. But pretty dumb to ban someone. although that time was filled with controversial stuff that happened.

[@saamo1423]

Nah dude, you're not smart. This was literally the first example of area modding tools ever been used for Nier, they literally didn't exist before the church door
