Goliath Tank Strategy (Melee) NieR Automata
When approaching this boss fight, players will need to get through a number of Machine unit encounters before eventually facing the Goliath Tank. The act are regular enemy units and when encountered at the Abandoned Factory, are surrounded by other machinery. The Goliath Tank in this area releases an array of orbs that spew in all directions, but are usually released above them. When you face, continuously reposition yourself to avoid getting surrounded by the smaller machine units. Get to the side of the tank to deal damage while the orb turrets on top are aimed upwards.Look for the sides of the tank that do not have the turrets installed and focus your attacks there. Most of the Tanks attacks are focused on its front side. If you circle around, the tank will not have the opportunity to deal any melee attacks or charge forward since it has to re align itself. The best way to avoid damage is to continue to circle around the tank to avoid other units, and to stay out of the tank's line of sight.
At some point you can also approach the hatch in the middle by climbing onto the back platform which will reveal a canister containing the machine's power core. This is the tank's weakpoint. You can focus here to quickly deplete it's HP but it as a result, the tank will no longer drop the Machine Core.
Throughout the fight, circle around the Tank while avoiding the smaller units to eventually destroy it. This will also progress to the next sequence. The next boss you will face is the Engels.
