Created by Yoko Taro, Nier Replicant serves as the predecessor to 2017’s critically acclaimed Nier Automata, and if you’re even vaguely familiar with Taro’s games, you’ll know that there are quite a few endings to unlock in this one as well. The problem is, unlocking the endings isn’t quite as straightforward as it was in Automata. Here’s how to get all weapons in Nier Replicant.

Getting All Weapons in Nier Replicant

Whereas in Automata you simply had to play the game naturally to reach the true ending, Nier Replicant requires a bit more effort on the player’s part. The true ending can only be unlocked if you collect all 33 weapons in the game, and we’re here to help you out with that.

Listed below are all of the weapons in the game and their locations:
