10 Incredible Singleplayer Features You Can Only Unlock By Playing Multiplayer

NieR: Automata is a game full of unexpected twists. If you need proof of that, you just need to look at its credits sequence.

As if having more than two dozen endings was not enough, NieR thought it would spice things up even further by making the true ending incorporate elements of multiplayer in an otherwise fully offline experience.

After you've seen what you believe is the final ending, the credits roll, and it seems like the game has at last come to an end. However, you quickly realize that you have been terribly mistaken.

The credits are secretly a giant boss fight where you have to dodge bullets coming from the developers' names, and it can be quite tricky to get through if you're not experienced with bullet hell.

Luckily, this bizarre sequence is also the only moment in the game when NieR utilizes a multiplayer option.

Before the boss fight takes full effect, you get the option to let other players join in and turn the final fight into a much easier but also more epic battle between the developers and the combined forces of the players.

The multiplayer feature might be just what you need to win and see the game's true ending, so it's definitely worth using!
