I watched a Twitch streamer this morning break his monitor out of frustration at one of these fights.īut you have to stay clear-minded. Dying repeatedly in Nier: Automata can tilt even the strongest-willed men, especially in this first segment, since you’ll be driven all the way back to the opening lines, which, of course, bemoan the perpetual “spiral of life and death,” in a cruel twist of irony (and the knife, for that matter). This is a war of attrition, and the first person who blinks loses. It’s a multifaceted tool and its importance cannot be overstated. Using it to increase your speed in bullet hell segments is effective as well, since it makes you more mobile, and you can also use this to catch up to flying robots as well.

It doesn’t even matter if you’re using it to dodge. Related: Don’t Forget To Grab This Sword When You Start NieR: Automata If you can’t, no problem just hit that damn button. Timing is great, and if you can pull of precise timing, then go for it. Take Luke Skywalker’s advice when he crash lands on Dagobah: “R2!!!” Hit R2 like it murdered your family. Otherwise, why would you be here? Use these tips: Even though you can change difficulty at any time, I’m guessing you’re a masochist like me and would prefer to spend several hours playing Nier: Automata with nothing to show for it. Take it from me, you can easily spend 4 hours just trying to get to the first save point in Nier: Automata if you choose to play on Hard.
