NieR: Automata, despite its appearance, incorporates unforgiving rogue-like elements. Death carries significant consequences, potentially resulting in the permanent loss of valuable items and significant setbacks, especially in the late game. However, there's a window of opportunity to mitigate these losses. This guide explains the death penalty and the crucial process of body recovery.
Dying in NieR: Automata means losing all experience points (XP) earned since your last save. More critically, you lose all currently equipped Plug-In Chips. While Plug-In Chips are replaceable, some are rare and expensive to acquire, making their loss a substantial blow. Respawning leaves your equipped Plug-In Chip slots empty, requiring re-equipping.
The lost Plug-In Chips aren't permanently gone. You have one chance to retrieve them. Failure to recover your body before dying again results in the permanent loss of those chips.
After death, your immediate priority is recovering your body. A blue body icon appears on your map, guiding you to its location. Interacting with the body restores all your lost Plug-In Chips. You then face a crucial choice:
Repair: This option doesn't restore lost XP, but transforms your previous body into an AI companion that will assist you until it's destroyed.
Retrieve: This option restores the lost XP earned since your last save.
Regardless of your choice, your previously equipped Plug-In Chips are restored. You can either re-equip them, overriding your current setup, or simply add them back to your inventory.
