Eventually, Weiss will tell you exactly what to do if you ask him, or you can just listen to me. The man you need to speak to is the old fisherman, standing at the wharf looking out over the ocean, just beyond the fishmonger's stall. Speak to him, and he will give you a fishing pole and a lure.

The updated version of Replicant adds a fifth ending that occurs after a new game is begun following the fourth ending, beginning following the defeat of Kainé's Shade nemesis Hook. Three years after the Shadowlord's defeat, Kainé continues having nightmares about losing something precious, and fights increasingly-hostile Shades. Going to the Forest of Myth to investigate its sudden silence, she finds everyone killed by machines emerging from its central tree, revealed to be the control unit recording Replicant memories, its AI communicating with Kainé through twin childlike avatars. Kainé is aided in fighting past machine duplicates of her by Emil, eventually entering the tree's mainframe and battling enemies drawn from her memories, culminating in a battle with a more-powerful Hook helped by the data remains of Grimoire Weiss. Kainé destroys Hook and the AI, restoring the protagonist in his young form; all of the player's save data prior to the fourth ending is consequently restored. The year 11,945 is when NieR: Automata begins. Alien beings invaded the earth with an army of machines and have since destroyed all humanoid life. The surviving part of humanity retreats to the moon and organizes the resistance from there. A space station in Earth orbit (“Bunker”) is the base of the androids called “YorHa”, which were developed to fight in a proxy war for humans against machines. The androids are strictly forbidden to have real names or to have real feelings, which fundamentally distinguishes them from humans.

Fight your way through the maze of boxes in the next room. You'll find the next keycard--the SA Keycard--in the northwest corner of the room. At the north end of the room you'll see a hidden hallway. Use it to access the eastern corner. Examine the object in the center of the room to obtain the two-handed sword, Fang of the Twins. Once you're done watching the spiffy little action cut-scene, you'll have to kill all of the shades. Feel free to play around with your new weapons, but these armored shades are best taken out with either two-handed swords or magic. Now that the tutorial is over, you can finally start playing the "real" game. If you don't quite understand what the prologue has to do with the game proper, don't worry. You'll figure it out eventually. Graphics: One of the few things in this game not worth writing home about. They are not as bad as some would lead you to believe, but definitely mediocre, considering this game was released in 2010. It looks more akin to a 2006 title. The actual art style on the other hand, is quite gorgeous. Every character is distinguishable, every area has its own theme and style, and the enemies look menacing. Blood sprays everywhere as you cut your way through your adversaries. Hopefully you’ll be distracted enough by the fun gameplay to overlook the graphical shortcomings.
