Emil does not sell crafting materials at resistance camp

Submit

For the cave fight:
Repairing random androids until you get one with a high enough level to fight for you is a viable strat.
I beat it first try on level 63 like that.

Also used chips to get these effects: +80% HP UP, -14% melee damage, -8% ranged damage, 5s anti chain damage, Vengeance +6, evasive system, bullet detonation. But I don't think vengeance did much in comparison with the one high-level android I managed to find, so I'd say focus fully on defensive chips and rely on dead androids. (RIP this strategy once servers go offline...)

Can someone also add that Emil occasionally gets trapped at the desert entrance spawn point? I've been trying for almost 4 hours to make him spawn elsewhere and he won't. Talking doesn't help and attempting to force him by taking his mask and activating the event only serves to make him change goods, but never to his weapons goods.

I think this has changed. I got to Emil's house in my first playthrough, and the key Emil gave me for completing his quest was for an elevator in the shopping center.

=IMPORTANT=
Emil will N E V E R move from the desert camp if you are on the "Missile Supply" Mission.
Make sure to talk to him IMMEDIATELY after defeating A2 and talking to Pascal.
You will get the quest "Head back to Resistance Camp to resupply;" do not complete that quest until you have purchased everything you need from Emil.

Trying to buy stuff from this guy was probably the most stressful and frustrating experience I've had with any videogame in the past 10 years, and I'm not even kidding.

PC-Steam w/o unoficial stuff Route C 17-01:
For me this worked:
Talk to him near desert entrance. Get a hint about his house.
Visit his house and take the mask. Then he spawned right away between Engel corpse and lake next to res camp (little below lake, not at th same level). 2 weapons and courtain...
(~20 reloads just after talking to him next to a desert camp didn't do the trick for me)

I am having trouble getting him to spawn at the resistance camp with the materials. I have been trying for a few days and I only end up getting him to sell plug in chips. I got him to sell the weapons once but I haven’t had luck since. Is there something I’m doing wrong? I’m doing the bridge respawn .

Submit

I turned off network features and Emil started spawning at random again.

Do this work on Xbox one?? I’ve been trying to get the dress module and I can’t find no matter where I find Emil

First playthrough with 2B here. I am after the first encounter with A2 and I have to report about her with Pascal. First and foremost, If you don't want that Emil get stuck infinitely in desert camp, just don't do any side quests that affect him (I think about "Emil's Memory" but also the fact of stealing his mask in his hideout). After wasted 4 hours, I decided to load an ulterior save (just before the fight with A2) and do the trick in this video : This works perfectly : I encountered him 2 times before I got his email then the third times he sold me the correct items. I got the 2 weapons and the dress module (no rare items but I think it's because I am in my first playthrough).

Teleporting to the City Ruins Near the tower from the resistance camp, going to the shopping mall and then teleporting back and forth repeatedly, made him spawn near the camp for me at some point. I went with chapter 7-1.

I know everyone wants him to be the original or 'true' Emil, but I'm fairly certain he isn't. The archive entry says he's the real one, but the same entry also says he defeated his clones while making no mention of 2B, 9S, or A2. Also, he tells us he became more fragmented with each clone created, and since we don't know the specifics of the cloning process he used, we can assume the original likely broke himself apart in order to make his armies of clones. But in general, dialogue is more explicit than archive entries which are basically summaries. Unlike Soulsborne, archives in any other game are supplementary readings written after the dialogue. So there's a good chance that him being the 'true' Emil slipped through proofreading & editing, whereas dialogue would have been inspected more thoroughly, probably by Yoko Taro himself. And really, it's just wishful thinking wanting this Emil to be the original. That's like saying he shouldn't have changed into his skelly balls form after fusing with his sister. But until someone asks Yoko Taro for a confirmation, I'll keep to my stance that this Emil is another clone. But really, what difference will being original or not make? Like the Emil Heads say in their memiors, he's still alive after 500 years. So it's pretty much given that Emil is here to stay.

How the ***** do I make him sell the +6 chips

Submit

I'm almost 100% certain there is a bug that can prevent Emil from moving from his initial desert spawn spot, at least on the PC version. I've done a fresh 2B playthrough twice (i.e. no chapter select), but the first time Emil moved around like normal. The second time, I tried all manner of tricks online and quest flagging through probably 100+ Emil respawns, but nothing worked.

The closest thing to a change was stealing his mask, at which point he changed his inventory from crafting materials to chips, but he still spawned at the desert spot.

If you're trying to accomplish as much as possible during your first 2B playthrough, be sure to save before and immediately after the carrier support mission in case you have to revert.

So it seems this is really the original Emil based on the concluded quest events and unit data gained from completing the quest chain by winning the second encounter fight (I know some are unsure but the game seems to be pretty blunt about it at that point). Seems like then the original/true emil finally dies after many years of toil but manages to find peace at the end hoping to be reunited with his friends long gone. Its important to note the weapon story though on the Emil Heads weapon; it seems to take place after the events of Nier Automata. It seems further copies of emil spawned well after the original's death (going under the assumption his death will be a canon event) so some form of Emil will continue to exist. I guess he's sort of the mascot for the series now so couldn't get rid of the character entirely. Will be interesting to see what place he could have in a future game.

Emil seems to change his position if you buy or sell something.

Submit

From what i can tell Emil changes inventory based on what play-through/ending you are on. I have only checked this once so far so it still needs more information to be confirmed.

Submit

Switched to Route C/D after trying to get the item shop to spawn in A/B for like an hour.
It STILL was the plug-in chip shop, but-! Instead of leaving and trying to get him to respawn, I instead, talked to him again and his inventory had changed on the spot. People seem to be having a lot of trouble with getting him to swap inventories, and it makes me wonder if it's just on a global timer or something. Some check in the scripting like "after routes A/B if your playtime hours is odd spawn plugins, if it's even spawn items".

Submit

I tried the fight and died but was able to get my atuff back, but the chest i opened is well still open, and emil doesnt appear to fight again. Was that like some one time thing or could i just reload a previous save? (Also i take it this is for a hidden trophie and well i bought em all since im lazy)

Submit

>but may actually be a copy
This is not the case, the unit data you get after the desert fight confirms that he is the "true emil".

Submit

How the hell do you initiate Emils Determination? I got 100%, weapons lvl 4 on them all, beat him in his dungeon but he does not appear in the mall, in the desert or anywhere. And when i talk to him in the city he just says "someone broke in".

Well, dun, someone broke in and killed you you dumb ball.

Submit

Some (useful?) observation: Emils high-level shop, option to buy either good materials or two weapons and a dress module, switches after you restart the game client completely.
This isnt backed up by any facts, but after running around him for good 4 hours, and him selling only 3 out of 4 total options, i gave up and when i came back that evening, he sold the high-level materials on the first try.

So far i have tried a method to ensure Emil will always spawn near the resistance camp to buy high end Material. Credit to youtuber Paulo Seilauq and Hans Schmid. For future reference: game version 1.06, i have beat the game and unlock the chapter select mode, i was at chapter 7-1:
- After the chapter select ( or the first time you see him on map) he will always spawn right in front of desert camp and circle around there. You need to hit him with the pod and talk to him once, at that time he always sell basic chip and some normal material
-After that, whenever you reload or teleport to city ruins area he will ( mostly) spawn near Engels , under the broken bridge in the big area infront of City ruins near factory point and roam around city ruin but never get near the resistance camp area. There you must fast travel to City ruins near factory , wait for him to go nearby and hit him there, talk to him until he said you being too aggresive.
- Now warp to city ruins near tower and start run toward the mall, cross the wooden bridge into the mall, now heading back to the city and cross the bridge again, run until you get near the other side of the bridge, turn on the map and emil should be spawn near the entrance area resistance camp. IF he not show up on map, teleport to city ruin near factory and he should be there.
-Sometime he will sell the +6 chips and other time the high end material, so far i can confirm that the rate is 50%. If he not sell what you want , just rins and repeat from above
So far i only done this methode twice and both of the time he spawn near the resistance camp.
Hopefully this will help

hack and burn emil to death.hackfire chip will let you defeat emil with 10 to 20 hacks. you dont even need to use weapon or pod

Is it possible to still fight Emil after achieving Ending B?

Submit

To enter Emil's real home (not the place with Lunar Tier flowers) you need to speak with him at least once so he says something about how deep he lives. Then you can find entrance to his place inside one of tubes in the middle of huge hole (City ruins), there are not so much tubes sticking out and the one you need is closer to amusement park entrance. When you find the tube and go in, you will se an *exit* elevator and a very deep cave, go deep. Finding his home is not so hard from this point on.

Submit

If you wanna beat him without leveling too high, you can just build a plugin chip with as many as Vengeance chips as possible and fill the rest with Max HP Up. That way you only need to stock up on your heal items and get hit constantly while spamming Heal; Emil will just slap himself to death.

Submit

Once you get to the last 1/6 of his health, consume all the damage enhancement consumables possible and focus only on normal attacks, because once his hyper-fast theme starts playing in the background, you have about 90 seconds to finish the fight before he performs an unavoidable EMP that WILL instakill you!

Precious cinnamon roll is too pure for this world ;_______________;

Submit

its not inside its house, its in the dungeon maze that head to its house, after defeat emile you cant enter the house anymore, alas only spawn emils shop in the chapter before you have defeted him, so thast the thing xD

Submit

------SPOILER-------





So I just won the last secret emil boss-fight (desert) and it says on here you could find a pod upgrade L in his house at this point in the game.
The only problem. I can't enter his house no matter what i do. Does anyone have an idea how to enter? It would be my last trophy :/

Submit

Be sure to talk to Emil after finding his home for the first time. If you end up switching chapters you will have to revisit Emil's home and pick up the mask again. (though it will say inventory full, it will register it)

Submit

you fougth emile 2 times in the game, one its when you leave the cave with emil´s head, the second its when after defeating emile, instead of killing it in the cave you leave it alone, then you fougth the emil´s replicant boss, in the desert, for that you need to encounter emil´s in the map to triger the quest, that bos is far away harder than the emil´s you figth in the cave, and are 6 emil´s heads, it attack with bubble burst atak, 2 eye rays attaks, alas with rush ones, like the probe one similar in the desert, but with a hard lot of speed and more damage, when you are lvl90+ its a easy figth, alas laser pod upgrade its a big help there, for the charged mode, and the dota that it cause. if you have speared emil´s in the cave this drop the gloves emile´s head

Submit

There is also another kind of Emil's Shop.
You can buy: Type-3 Fists (weapon), Angel's Folly (weapon), Dress Module (Key item).
With the dress module you can change your outfit (pants vs pantsless) without using self-destruct.

Submit

ok but where's the shop

Submit

Does anyone know if After the second fight with emil copy in the desert can you still access emils store or is it gone

Submit

If you have the means and cannot make true damage to Emil you can use defensive chips + vengeance chips to give back some damage to him. It will ask for you to have a lot of healing items but at least you will be able to do at least 3K of damage for each attack returned.

Submit

if you're following this as a guide to get to this boss fight, then i would recommend at least being level 65 for the level 99 fight or your hacking will do negligible damage and you'll be at the fight for hours
