Emil Clones is a Boss in NieR: Automata. Emil is an NPC that owns a Merchant Stock and distributes a quest of his own. Originally a beloved character from the first game, he is a disembodied head that possesses the body of a heavily-modified auto rickshaw. In one of the secret endings, he appears as a Boss Encounter. He is a returning character from the first game, he is a disembodied head that possesses the body of a heavily-modified auto rickshaw. For NPC and merchant information, visit Emil's regular NPC page here. Bosses are special larger Enemies that can be encountered throughout the game in different Locations. A Boss encounter will usually signify game progress or a chapter ending when following the main storyline. Some of these bosses may first be encountered As NPCs to introduce some Lore and backstory before they are inevitably faced in a Combat encounter as a Boss. Boss encountered are identified by their introductory title that will be displayed just before combat begins. Their HP bar and Level will also be displayed above the character throughout the combat encounter. Some bosses in the game may be optional and avoided. All information on optional or required bosses stats, Locations, encounters and strategies can be found on their designated Bosses
These colossal Emils were the sad final state of Emil's copies. Attacking without warning, they possessed the ability to unleash fierce attacks using magical weapons from the old world. At the end of this pitched battle, the true Emil stopped his dopplegangers with heartfelt words before annihilating them with a final strike. He then passed away with an expression of great relief, as if he had finally met the person he'd longed to see.

NieR Automata Emil Clones Information

- HP: ??
- Lv: 99
- Emil Clones is a secret optional encounter.
Emil appears as a Boss encounter in Secret Ending Y: head[Y] battle.
Ending Y Requirements:
- Locate and Upgrade all available Weapon (requires Master Sworthsmith Masamune)
- Complete Emil's Memories
How to trigger the Ending:
- When the requirements are fulfilled, return to Emil. This interaction will result in Emil escaping to the Desert Zone
- Follow him to the Deesert Zone to trigger the secret boss fight
- Allow the Emil head to self-destruct to obtain Ending Y.
-
WARNING: Currently this is the only "missable" ending, and can prevent earning the "Transcendent Being" Trophy/Achievement "legitimately". Make sure to let Emil self-destruct and not save if you complete the fight without acquiring this ending, as there is no way to do the fight over. If one wishes to get the ending and finish the quest, you can save at Desert: Center to make restarting the fight after getting the ending quicker.
A2 had the sudden need to go for a short walk. Even though she felt content and fulfilled after the walk, 2B's body had already been destroyed by the machines when she got back.

Emil Clones Strategies NieR Automata
Emil Clones Strategy (Melee) NieR Automata
To initiate the fight you need to talk to Emil and he will tell you where he lives. Head to the part of the City Ruins that has huge tree roots leading to a broken overpass (near the sewer entrance that leads to the Amusement Park). Under the roots is the roof of a building (the same one where the third Speed Star's race finishes); drop down to it, nearby should be a pipe that you can enter to find an elevator. After you exit the elevator, you will find the City Ruins: Deep Cave area that will eventually lead you to Emil's Residence. Take the item on the ground and return to Emil. After Emil told you that he boosted security in his home, go down to Emil's Residence again and open the locked chest with 9S and take the item inside. After exiting the room, the boss fight should trigger properly.
First Encounter - If you have already defeated the Amusement Park Rabbit then Emil should pose no problem. He is a higher level enemy, but is easier to dispatch because of his lower defence stat. Trying to hack him is not recommended as it takes a very long time, instead stay close to him and bait his easily dodgeable melee attacks and counter whenever you can. After you deal with him, he will drop the Emil Heads combat bracers, make sure you grab these to access the second part of his fight.
Second Encounter - After upgrading every weapon to max level, a quest marker will appear at the abandoned shopping center, once you're there, talk to Emil and Pod will tell you that he is heading to the desert. Once you're on location you will find Emil once again, talk to him to initiate the boss fight. This boss is very similar in appearance and mechanics to the Hegel boss that was previously fought by A2. Apply the same strategy to this boss and equip all of your strongest attack chips to end the fight as quickly as possible. After you do enough damage a sequence of dialogue will play out and you will be given two options regarding the outcome of this battle:
A. Let the self-destruct countdown finish and receive the ending: Head[Y] Battle.
B. Interrupt the countdown by destroying the giant Emil head and complete the quest.

- Ideally you fight this boss from "chapter select" after completing Route C.
- From chapter select, it's best to fight him on Route A/B, and not on route C.

AnonymousI killed both him and his heads in the desert. Didn't get the trophy. Thank god for the ability to buy them, but it sucks that I have to do it

For anyone still struggling with second Emil fight I just ran antibullet pod program and tons of weapon damage with spear on 9s and threw that thing to the win

If the fights are too hard, connect to the network and repair bodies. You might get lucky like me and have someone way stronger fight the battle for you

After defeated the boss Emil in the desert, the game asked me to save the party (what I did) and now, the door is close and impossible to get the Bonus Piece G. Others people got the same problem ? My party is dead to upgrade the last pod lvl4 ?

Tho im at lvl 82 when I first found out Emil, I just ran my usual equipment (glass cannon type)
Weapon atk up 2x +6
Auto heal +3
evade up +3
overclock +2
anti chain
etc.
I was using 9s (+usurper spear) and one thing that helped me fight was using the pod program Bomb (A:130); helped clear his head spam and just focused on charge spearing him. It was always ready to use just in time when he releases next batch of heads. Try to use offline mode too as it can help avoid retrieving bodies by accident when using items.

Not sure what's considered "low-level", but I beat the first form at level 68 after a few tries with a pretty simple trick: if you have enough HP to survive at least one hit from his physical attack, a Vengeance +6 or higher chip will do way more damage to him than your attacks will (including hacking; I don't know about higher levels, but hacking Emil seems to do nothing). Max out on healing items, deliberately run into him while he's spinning, heal immediately after each hit, and 35%-50% of the time you'll take off a fair chunk of health.
To optimize the strat even further, max out your HP with chips and taunt him so he does even more damage to him/you (don't use physical defense chips unless you have to; pretty sure that reduces the damage he does to himself). Ideally you want him to just barely not be killing you with each hit. Ranged Defense, Anti-Chain Damage, and Auto-Use Item chips also help a ton. 2-4 hits should be enough to take him down once he gets below 30%.
Also, does anyone know if Reset chips can revive you when he uses his explosion attack? It doesn't seem like they'd allow that, but I'm curious if anyone else had better luck than I did.

So after testing this myself I hope this helps anyone who still comes back to this page
-you ONLY need to upgrade all weapons to max for the 2nd encounter
-the first encounter can only be done by 9S because you need him to hack the chest for when you go back into the cave
-after the 1st fight, chapter selecting will NOT reset your progress as it only triggers once every weapon is upgraded and seems to count as a separate thing
-the only way to fight him as A2 in the 2nd encounter seems to be when you select to play her during the chapter *SPOILER* Pascal's Despair

Well I started the quest when I was waaay underlerlevel but now I'm back. But after satrting the quest again, emil does not appear I guess it's because I already had a Emil mask and I dont know how to delete it. :/

This post-game content is SO confusing. "best to do him from chapter select"... Which chapter?!? The chapter system really ruins the new game+ experience. I can never figure out which chapter to load to find these things

I can't seem to damage him at all during the first encounter, even when I hack him. Am I just under leveled? (61)

I've upgraded all thr weapons previously before encountering emil for the first time
and then I've encountered with him, defeated him and now the mission mark on the map didn't appear
what should I do know?

Guys it's 2018. Can we get some pictures to show the location of Emil's Residence instead of poorly worded instructions?
LET THE COUNTDOWN FINISH! If you don't, you will miss ending Y and have to load an old save.
So if you interrupt the countdown, how do you go back and do it again to get the ending?
So I guess you can't dodge the heads in the first encounter with R2...I was spamming it and got hit 3 times and was dead.

Wow just got outside his residence and it is a graveyard. Nothing but android corpses (dead players) everywhere. I tried to see if I could retrieve all of them but when I was halfway done even more spawned.

I have already upgraded all weapons to LV4, but I still have a Pod pending to upgrade, due to lack of Power up part L (I cannot farm it frommthe rabbit even if I fought it like 10 times!).
Is it a requirement to have all Pods to MAX as well? ALso, as the person below, I wanto to fight it with A2/2B, but I am afraid to switch chapters. Is it still possible to do it?
- Anonymous
during the 2nd encounter you can melt half (more if you get lucky) of the multi-emil's life with the fully upgraded 2nd pod. i used range atk +8 with large range atk up consumable. when it spawns just fire at the spawn point using the shotgun effect over and over hitting each segment. do not follow the main head until after it has completely emerged from ground.

Dismiss what I said, went back as 9S and the Quest was still marked as cleared. It's just that only 9S can make it, which it's a waste not using A2...

Don't switch chapter when on this Quest, not even after first encounter... Wanted to fight the second encounter as A2 and now I'm back to square one.

You've forgotten his AOE insta-kill explosion for the first encounter

Can somebody add this to the boss listings? I can't figure it out by myself.
Maybe I'm being stupid, but counting these two fights as encounters of the same boss is so damn irritating when figuring out what to do for the Emil's Determination quest, finding the last weapon, and ending Y. Maybe it saves someone some time:
- In order to unlock Determination, you need to find and upgrade the weapon Emil's Heads first.
- You find that weapon in Emil's home in the cave in city ruins. This is a completely different thing from the whole desert boss fight and has nothing to do with Ending Y yet, ending Y is a part of the Determination quest.
- We just go to his home to grab the weapon first, which includes a different Emil boss fight.
