Emil's Determination is a Side Quest in NieR: Automata.

Emil's Determination Walkthrough
- First complete Emil's Memories.
- Find all weapons and upgrade them to maximum level (Pods and Pod Programs don't count).
- In order to obtain all weapons, you must have defeated Emil (Boss)'s first encounter in his home in City Ruins and picked up Emil Heads.
- Head to the Abandoned Shopping Center to talk to Emil and start the quest.
- Head to the Desert Zone and defeat Emil Clones.
Notes
- In the final self-destruct sequence you need to kill the only vulnerable Emil.
- If you allow Emil to self-destruct at the end, you unlock Ending Y (head[Y] battle). This ending is missable, as if you complete the quest and save your progress, there is no way to go back and restart the fight.
- After completing this side quest, you can still find Emil's shop and initiate the Emil boss fight in the underground cave where his house is.
AnonymousAccessing this quest can be confusing, because it's only available during very specific subchapters. 2B and 9S can access Emil's Determination at the start of subchapter 06-04 with no extra effort. 9S can access the quest on his own during 13-01, 13-02, and 13-04. A2 can access the quest at the start of 14-01. There's likely other subchapters as well, but I can confirm that it's unavailable as 2B without 9S.
As a general warning, if you complete this quest before getting ending Y by failing the timed portion of this sidequest, getting that particular ending becomes impossible.

Do you need just play from beginning a story or play totally from new including all fishing and etc?

*****!! Your 'notes' part is so *****ing misleading. You told us here not to kill emil and let it self explode if we want to achieve ending Y. Now my save file is screwed and can revert to get ending Y. ***** you !!

Is Emil still alive when you don’t get ending Y and complete the quest? He seemed to have died, but I’m unsure because the other NieR wiki says he’s only dead in ending Y.

Can you not do this quest as 2B? I did everything up until the part where you go to Emil's place to get into the locked box but then I needed 9S so do I have to restart the entire quest because when I go into chapter select to choose 9S it goes back to when I haven't even gone into Emil's place yet and I might have to get the lunar tears again.

Can I just but the inorganic blade trophy to initiate this quest or do I need to go collect and upgrade all weapons? I have killed Emil the first time already and done Emil's memories.

I can't seem to complete this. Every time I try I get ending Y, but I feel like there's a serious ending to this quest that involves saving our Emil, any tips anyone?

*should say determination not memories
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.
