Story Achievements

Uncover all the achievements in NieR: Automata! This guide details how to unlock every trophy, from completing quests to collecting all weapons and Pods.

Hey there! So, you're diving into NieR: Automata and want to snag all those shiny achievements? Awesome! Think of them as little mementos of your journey through this wild world. Some are pretty straightforward, just for playing through the story, while others will have you really digging into every corner of the game. Just a heads-up, if you're playing _The End of YoRHa Edition_ on the Nintendo Switch, you won't see these achievements pop up. The Switch doesn't have the same trophy system as PlayStation or Xbox, so those are exclusive to those platforms. Most of these achievements are tied to your progress, like completing quests or finding lore. You can even buy them from the Strange Resistance Woman in the Resistance Camp after you beat the game if you want to skip the grind, but where's the fun in that? Let's break down some of the main ones: * Final Words: This one's a bit bittersweet, it's basically a 'thank you for playing' achievement. You'll get it just by finishing the game. * The Circle of Death: Ever wondered what happens to your body when you die? This achievement pops when you have your body collected by another player. It's a neat little way the game acknowledges that shared experience. * Cherish Our Resources: Keep an eye out for those fallen androids! You'll need to have 100 bodies collected to unlock this one. * First Errand: This is your first step into the world of quests. Just complete your very first quest, and you're golden. * The Mercenary: Ready to be a completionist? You'll need to have 80% of all quests finished for this achievement. * Information Master: Explore everything! Finding 80% of all archives will earn you this. * Destruction is My Job: Get your combat on! You'll need to unlock 80% of all unit data. * Chip Collector: Those plug-in chips are super important. Make sure you've collected 80% of them to get this achievement. * Weapons Maniac: Time to get serious about your arsenal. You'll need to obtain all Pod programs. * Tools of the Trade: Loving a particular weapon? Upgrade any single weapon to its highest level to snag this. * Inorganic Blade: For the true weapon master, you'll need to upgrade *all* weapons to their highest level. * Supreme Support Weapons: Don't forget your Pods! Upgrade all of them to their highest level. * Ruler of the Skies: Get ready for some aerial combat! You'll need to destroy 255 enemies using a flight unit. * Harvest King: Keep your eyes peeled for those hidden harvest points. Gather materials from them 10 times. * Pod Hunter: Found all the Pods? This achievement is for you! There are plenty more, but these will give you a good start on what to look out for as you play through NieR: Automata. Happy hunting!
