Much like any other game from legendary creator Yoko Taro, NieR: Automata offers players full liberty to make crucial choices without explaining the repercussions. Players' choices in the game can range from insignificant ones to those that determine which outcome they will get out of all 26 possible endings. Like the Drakengard series and the original Nier (Replicant) titles, Automata offers endings that correspond to the letters of the English alphabet, starting from A and going all the way to Z. However, only the first five endings are real or canonical, with the other 21 being either joke endings or accidental "game over" screens. Here's a comprehensive guide on how players can obtain each ending in NieR: Automata. Note: This article contains major spoilers for NieR: Automata. How to unlock every ending in NieR Automata Yoko Taro's titles, from the Drakengard series to the Nier franchise, have never followed traditional game design norms. The original Nier title is apparently a spin-off to the Drakengard games, stemming from one of the possible endings of the last title.

The game might show the credit screen as and when players acquire a certain ending. However, it does not inherently end then since the first five endings are basically different chapters of the broader narrative. Thus, players are recommended not to put down the controller after getting the first ending. Every subsequent playthrough will reveal new and crucial information about the narrative. More often than not, they will also introduce new gameplay elements and even different playable characters. NieR Series@NieRGameWe're punching away the days until #NieR:Automata The End of YoRHa Edition launches on Switch.1060115We're punching away the days until #NieR:Automata The End of YoRHa Edition launches on Switch. https://t.co/RthLYjpgYE Here is a rundown of how players can get the first five (A to E) endings in NieR: Automata: Ending A: flower for m[A]chines - Beat the main story for the first time.Ending B: or not to [B]e - Beat the story again after continuing the game post ending A.Ending C: meaningless [C]ode - Continue after ending B and choose A2 during the final boss battle.Ending D: child[D]hood's end - Continue after either ending B or ending C and choose 9S during the final boss battle.Ending E: the [E]nd of YoRHa - This is the game's true ending and one that will require players to sacrifice their save file. After ending C or D, the Pod 153 will be able to do a data check. Players must accept the pod's offer and select "wish for them to survive." A really bizarre yet fun mini-game will then start. Players will be required to be connected to online services on their platform in order to get help during the very challenging mini-game. They will then be given the option to sacrifice their save game to aid other players who might need help with the same mini-game. This marks the true ending of NieR: Automata. The remaining 21 endings are basically accidental "game over" screens that players can trigger at any point. They can do it by going against the objectives, dying before the prologue finishes, or even removing 2B's OS chip at any time during the game.
