Nier: Automata - How to Get All Endings (2024)

Beat the main story for the first time.

Continue the game after obtaining ending A and then beat the main story as 9S.

Continue playing the game after obtaining ending B and then pick A2 at the final boss battle.

Continue playing the game after obtaining ending B (or C) and choose 9S at the final boss battle.

After ending C or D, Pod 153 can do a data check. Accept the offer and select "wish for them to survive." This triggers a mini-game event (be sure to be connected to PSN, or the mini-game will be very difficult). The player can then choose to be a helper, but they will have to delete their save files to do so. Not choosing to be a helper will allow players to keep their saves intact.

In Chapter One in the second playthrough, after Engels knocks 9S down, do not repair 2B's system. Players will receive this ending when the timer runs out.

In Chapter One in the second playthrough, when the player controls 9S for the first time, go to the crane and avoid doing the mission.

In Chapter Eight in the first playthrough, after beating the Copied City boss, walk away from 9S.

In Chapter Nine, kill any of the machines when entering the factory.
