Revisiting the Copied City (Route C) - NieR: Automata
Apologies for the sad beginning to this video, but I was riding the roller coaster to see if anything changed, and those were the thoughts going through my head at the time (which is why 9S' movements match the mood), and it was too short of a video on its own :x
Anyway, after the last video being so long, I decided to again contain singular events to just one video each. And this event is the Copied City. On top of my curiosity to see if we could see the true base of the Tower sprouting from the Copied City, I remembered there being a locked chest there as 2B. Plus, 9S had never voluntarily explored there himself, and I wanted to see how things had changed.
I also wonder how many noticed that I usually use white text with a black border, but I reverse it whenever I'm in my menu or in the Copied City...
That aside, unsurprisingly, there's now enemies in the Copied City, and a s*** ton of endlessly spawning ones in the place where 2B fought and killed Adam. It's not quite the desert sinkhole, but at least 9S got his own arena time to shine!
And it was fun dashing around the arena with Noctis' sword giving off that cool phasing effect, even though I don't keep the weapon on me forever. I just wanted to go back to Engine Blade + Phoenix Sword for a while, especially with getting Engine Blade to Lv4.
I'm annoyed that the one time I got hit was because I was in the middle of a counterattack out of a perfect evade, which for some reason wasn't aimed at the enemy I was locked onto. That's why Braces and Spears are really good for 9S. Spears do have a long counterattack animation, but have a VERY wide hitbox, while Bracers have a very short animation and a deceptively large hitbox that launches enemies straight up for juggling.
Now, with that Powerup Part M and the second Powerup Part L I had, I now have 2 pods at max level! Something apparently that's really hard. I read about people playing the game normally never having upgraded a single pod even once. It is something that you do have to go hella far out of your way to do. Apparently Pod B is broken at max level. Mine is only Lv2. I still need more stuff.
Next we will be revisiting another place. One that, admittedly, is a bit daunting to me.
