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

Ko-Shi Strategy (Melee) NieR Automata

The encounter with Ko-Shi is set in a small platform arena. The most susceptible parts of the arena are directly in front of the unit. You will need to watch out for its limbs that will pop up from the corners and will continuously expel orbs. These limbs are targetable as well. Shoot them to get rid of them then you can focus on the main unit. The main unit will have a number of slam attack that can send different kinds of shockwaves through the platform. The direction of these waves are can be anticipated by looking at its front blade limbs that can slam forward shooting a straight directional line of shock and clap motion that can sends a radial wave outwards. During this attack, keep clear of the central area and be ready to jump over the resulting wave.

Clear both of his limbs while focusing your attacks on the main unit. Dodge through its attacks till you progres then you will move on to face Ro-Shi.

These interactions will alternate between fighting Ro-Shi and a number of smaller standard Machine Unit Enemies. When you return to Ko-Shi, you will find yourself back on the platform surrounded by its extensions. One of them will release more rows of orbs. Quickly attack and clear through each limb before the main Unit appears. There should be three on each side of the platform.

When Ko-Shi Returns, it will have an addition laser power. You will still see some of the same movesets from the first phase. Keep an eye on the blades and watch for when to jump out of the center and hug the sides of the platform.

The sequence will continue to alternate with the boss battle against Ro-Shi and as its health depletes, its movements will slightly advance. Complete each sequence against both units until the next cutscene is triggered. Be ready to face Ko-Shi & Ro-Shi.
