Note: The higher level you have, the faster you will kill him, this works best when you're level 50+ if you're lower than this it will take long to defeat him with hacks, because he's a level 80 enemy.
Upvote so people can see. As off May 23, 2017 the exploit still works but since patch 1.06 came out you wont be able to hack the statue anymore regardless if you're controlling a robot. What you have to do now is keep attacking it till it wakes up (yes it will wake up though from what I've seen you have to damage it significantly most likely 50-100k) and with that keep a few things in mind. 1. Trying to wake it up may take a while if you dont have enough damage so as a suggestion switch your difficulty to easy solely for this as it reduces its hp. If its still taking extremely long (5 mins+) I suggest you upgrade your weapon first then come back later on. 2. If you're not getting really low exp you're most likely underleveled I'm unsure of what the lowest level you can be to get the exp but I can confirm 60+ works 3. Lastly if you're doing this after Route C I suggest still using 9S regardless as even if you're geared the boss is pretty tanky unlike hacking which will kill it after 1-2 hacks
Many thanks for sharing! Just to confirm, I have been trying this and got it to work. I started at level 63, using 9S on Chapter 07-01. For weapon, I have been using a level 4 Type-3 Sword. I found "standing on the ground" (no jumping) attacks and the 3-pod blade attack to work best. For chips, I used the random stuff I had in my inventory after I finished the main endings. I hit the +100% extra damage limit, then had about 60% Extra EXP in chips and ~10% in crit. My damage numbers disappeared when I switched to these chips, but the "taking damage" visuals kept occurring on the rabbit and he has still been waking up. As I've done this, the time needed to wake up the rabbit has decreased along with the number of hacks needed to down him. Oh, and if you have a second device or monitor, turn off the music (too much of a good thing, etc. etc.) and utilize your Netflix subscription.
Here on 21st October 2019 and can confirm that you can still hack the bunny statue. Just whack him till he comes to life then hack him! Save, reload and repeat.
Originally you could hack it from a controlled unit before the DLC update to wake it up. Sadly that got patched out. Of course you can still hack it once it's awake and furious.
Just in case people see this: if the hacking isn't doing much damage, use combustion chips! They help a lot until you can kill it after only a couple hacks. Also put on drop rate and exp gain chips
Sounds tedious to save and load. Just go to the desert where you fought sephiroth and has respawning desert mobs, set game on easy with all plugins for autopilot and some sort of HP recover (item on use, recover hp overtime, or on damage) and leave it overnight (6hours for me). I also added the plugins for drops/exp boost and auto-collect items. This way not only you'll hit 99 for sure but also more than a million G's and 99 items that you can sell or use as weapon upgrades without mindlessly grinding. Cheers.
Forgot to mention that I did this when I was level 11 with weapons that can crit to speed kills. Can be done at any level as long as you can deal damage to the giant robot.
at lower levels your method is better because you can't hurt the bunny for shit. once you get into higher levels, killing those same enemies would take a lot longer for a level. so then, the bunny hacking gives exp faster.
Y. J. how did you leave it overnight? i tried to leave it and after bout 15 mins of not touching the controller the game pauses, is there a setting for this?
If you CANT hack the statue, HERES WHAT U NEED TO DO! 1) Admit it as a fact that you cant hack the statue and move on with it. 2) Play as 9S and U DONT HAVE TO REMOTE CONTROL ANYTHING. It doesn't matter what chapter you load, I did it with 7-01. Make sure you got every EXP chip you enabled for the max EXP possible. 3) Kill every single robot around the park where the bunny is. (you DONT have to kill the ones that dont fight back; the ones with blue HP bars. You can skip those, doesnt matter) 4) Select your strongest weapon and Pod skill (I highly recommend the Lazer) and attack the hell out of bunny. Depending on your level it takes a while for the bunny to move. I'm lvl 63 and it took about 2 minutes of full attacking. If you got multiple Pods, use the strongest skills in every1 of them and keep switching and use their skills as well for more DPS. As for 9S, I recommend Heavy Weapon. 5) If you think you have tried this, you HAVENT. You probably did this method with remote control for about 10 minutes and the bunny was there giving 0 shits about your attacks. TRY IT AS 9S. 6) Once the bunny starts moving, and it WILL, hack it and voila. As for the exp, if you get low EXP, it's probably because you're lower than lv.60. 7) Thank me :) Oh, and like this comment so more people can see the solution to their problems..
as 2020 i recomend using the blade pod program on max charge while you whack it (since you can no longer hack it before waking it up). it makes the grinding so much faster. also you can quick save and load after destroying it
This changed when DLC dropped. You now have to wail on him until it comes alive so you can hack it... its now responsive to your attacks and you dont need to hack a machine.
Hmmm 🤔 new person here literally beat this game once and thought it was over came back turns out you have to do it with the boy. You guys pretty much know that halfway through the Playthru with him finding out about a chapter select had to start over again hearing about chips being OP like this makes me want to replay the game and do it the right way cracked way ✨💯🫣
This is not a glitch, it is intended this way. After ABC endings your character should be around 55-60 where you will get 2k per hack and 17k per kill (I had 65% Experience on) You won't get any EXP when the level gap is to big. so yes if you are below 55 which I think is the case you wont gain jack shit.
6/13/2017 This still works, but I couldn't hack it until it attacked. I was level 70 and attacked a lot then self-destructed and the bunny bot attacked me. This method sill works for xp. I got four levels the first time. Thanks uploader.
Thanks a lot! Just up from lvl 56 to 99 in about an hr. I've lvl 4 weapons and lvl 2 pod, but it still takes forever to wake up the rabbit in normal mode, have to use easy mode.
Suprised you were even able to wake it up in lvl 56. So i dont blame you turning on easy mode. I forgot somehow tho that easy mode existed so i couldnt wake it up until i was lvl 74.
to make this faster you can set game to easy mode add in the auto evade chip so when you hack it takes 0 effort, also when the monsters are dead in the area you can just press options and save without running to the terminal
oh man...! It's really tough for me at 2023 still try hard on this game. I have no idea about how to hack the robot then I saw your video and updating comments. Guys, really. Thank you very much.
This is a trick (I did it 2 days ago or a day ago I don’t remember) yk that place where you fought Adam (or Eva) in the dessert in the beginning of the games go back to the place, fight him again and leave the area so 9s can report it to command go back to that area it’ll be an endless spawn of mods put gameplay to easy so you have the auto attacks and let it do its thing for as long as you want I went from 56 to 63 in about 30 minutes
another farming area I found is where you fight Adam for the first time just go back and there's a whole bunch of different enemies and goliaths that seem to endlessly spawn
I just did this today and can absolutely confirm this has not been patched. As others have said the exp is directly related to hacking damage done which won't be meaningful until probably closer to lvl 60.
Well I have a unique experience (well, not sure if it's unique or not tho). In my very first time of playing this game and in my first playthrough, I was struggling to finish the parade escort mission in the city ruins because the enemies have much higher levels than me, it's like 25 or 35. Then I kinda found out that riding the roller coaster can summon infinite enemies indefinitely, but it was so slow to get XP, though I got a lot of item drops chips from that. Then I stumbled upin the underground desert place that used to be the place where we first fought Adam. It has infinite enemies too but the level is 35, so at first, I only tried to fight them while running around, but after I killed some of the enemies, I got leveled up and they were easier to kill. And since I was playing on easy mode, I kinda played the game and went there, then I left my device like that with auto battle mode on and some healing chips and I focused on other things like my homeworks. And after hours and hours of waiting (in span of a week, more or less), I got leveled up to 99 in my first playthrough. I was elated, but not for long. I basically killed many bosses with single hit or a few hits more and skipped their battles' narratives completely. Like when battling A2 for the first time, fighting Adam in copied city, and even the last battle in the collapsed tower, I could kill the opponent (whichever I chose between the two) with a few jumps, a few dodges, and a few hits before they could speak what they had to speak. I regret that my first experience of the game was not full 😂
I put on xp chips and went to the pit where enemies continually spawn. Put game on easy and activate auto chips. Sit down controller and you don’t have to do anything. Combine that with auto collect chip to pick up items. Went out for the day and when I was back level 99 from level 34
This is how i did it 1.use skill salve, ranged boost and pod program blade with 3 pods 2. keep jumping up and down while the blade attack is boosted and repeat
I'm im patch 1.06 and as december 2nd 2017 is still working. You have to damage the bunny until it wakes up in order to.hack it but if your're level 60+ it still give you tons of XP and is more worth while this method than in the desert. The amount of XP you get here is better than fighting the endless waves.
the higher lvl you are, the faster you can awake this by hitting it. I started at lvl 59, it took me around 10 mins. At lvl 80, less than 10 sec. I strongly recommend don't do this too early in the game unless you want to fight Emil. Because above lvl 90, you basically just one shot everything and the game become boring.
Ok, I think it's about time people know it's not about damage. You can do it with any weapon you want. The deal is - with each attack you push the bunny a little bit and once it hits a corner it awakens. Everything about "not having enough damage" is bullshit. I tested it with both lvl 1 and lvl 4 weapons and after using the pushing tactic, there was no meaningful margin between the two. The best trick is to start hitting it from the side so its legs hit the edge more quickly. Thank me later.
WAR2OO1 Well step by step I went chapter 4 and used the pods turret while using melee at the same time. if you did all that and it didn't work, I'm not sure what happened.
I got it eventually. For some reason the first time I did it, it took 10 minutes of hitting and what not for some reason but after that it only took about 50 seconds or so
can confirm that it still works. @ lvl 59 it took about 15 minutes of hitting the bunny to activate it. 4 hacks dropped it. lvled up to 63 immediately. it snowballs from there. lvl 81 about an hour later
of course it had to be in the area with ominous clowns that I hate and to no surprise, happens to be the area I've spent the least amount of time in...
Just did this method and got to level 99 in literally less than 20 minutes (From level 69). I had already gotten endings A, B, C, and D when I did this. This still works as of April 4th 2017.
I believe you have to unlock/find the Engine Blade and upgrade it to LVL 4 from Legendary Blacksmith Murasame in the Forest Kingdom to get that effect.
I tried this last night at level 54 and it *did* work, but it didn't die anywhere near as fast as in your video. I had to hack it like 10 times to kill it. I still gained 3 levels when it died, so at least it feels like it's worth the time to do it. Are there chips to increase damage from hacking, or did they just increase how much health this guy has?
goober2049 They didn't do anything, hacking just gives xp proportional to how much damage it causes. Get to a higher level first, this method should only really be used to get from 60-65+ to 99 for the secret bosses.
balrog0444 my problem isn't in how much xp it gave, but in how long it took me to kill it. I must have hacked this enemy 10+ times before it died. The video shows someone who is only and 10 levels higher than me killing it in like 2 to 3 hacks. Like I said, it still feels worth the time investment, but it's taking me considerably longer to kill this enemy.
That's just how the hacking is, I guess it's to stop it being overpowered and letting you fight enemies way above your level. Once you reach the right level it'll work properly.
So if you put it in easy mode and equip the chips for auto fire auto evade and the easy mode in the desert. You do not get hit at all and you don't even need to do anything and enemies keep responding. I'm watching the lore of nier right now gaining ex and not even looking at the screen it's amaze balls.
As of 22.06.2022 the exploit still works but since patch 1.06 came out you wont be able to hack the statue anymore regardless if you're controlling a robot. @NakBon "What you have to do now is keep attacking it till it wakes up (yes it will wake up though from what I've seen you have to damage it significantly most likely 50-100k)"
So mashed it today - game with newesat DLC - the rabbit still works and its still kinda fast leveling bet require much more efford. I started on 60 lvl - with exp chip i get around 4~5 levels per kill. You need to kill all the robots- there is NO option to hack it when he is not moving. You need to smash him a lot... aroun 15 to 20 minuts !! You will notice he is slowly moving to the edge of the circle - when he reaches the edge (around that time) he will start moving and you can hack him - around 4 hackjs on 60 lvl and 2 hacks on 64. Hope i helped.
Does anyone know if this has been patched? I'm sitting here right now trying to hack the statue as a robot and it won't let me. When I'm out of it, I can hit the statue but that's about it.
Still seems to work at higher levels (exp wise). I'll say that this process is far faster if you just hack one of the dudes on the staircase outside the plaza then walk up to the statue and hack it that way. It's like 3 extra minutes a run to kill the extras. They drop decent stuff, but it's probably more efficient to farm materials elsewhere edit: on further examination, murdering everything in the courtyard with laser/missile pod then hacking one of the dudes on the staircase is much faster than either methods
you can’t hack it with a higher grade machine anymore, you have to beat the shit out of it for it to wake up so you can kill it and get the exp, that takes 10,000 years if you’re lv 65 and lower
How are you able to steer in a circular pattern and still stay shooting during the hacking? If I could do that I wouldn't spend up to 10 times trying to hack each hack session in the tower by the castle
Apparently it got patched and now the statue comes to life on it's own once you eliminate all the robots and wait in the srea for about 5 or so minutes, you can use any character too, no need for 9S, you cant hack him anymore anyway
ok just done trigger it . no need to wait 5mins. just kill all the surrounding robots in that area. and slashing him like 2 min. he will triggered itself and yes it can be hack as well.. im on level 70 now. 1 successful hack gain 13k exp . manage to reduce his hp bu 3/4
I only got around 200 exp during my first playthrough. I went back there after finishing the game, I was around 50-60 level and I used the exp boost chips so I got around 100k per trip.
Experience gain here is a little odd, if you're a really low level you'll get less experience than if you were a higher level fighting this boss. Perhaps it's because the amount of experience you get hacking is based on the damage dealt.
Funny question, I know. But is it just me who tried to respawn enemies using only 'transport'?? Hmm.. after using this method first somehow robbed me the idea out of me that you can just save&load to respawn an enemy.
you have to hack either an unaware or friendly enemy, once the hacking finishes you get an option of detonate, subjugate, and remote control, the evade i think is a bonus effect from their lv 4 engine sword
i did it today and i downloaded the update. if it helps i had an 80% exp boost so maybe that helped me. every time i would hack him i would get at least 19,000 exp
I got it now, when you control the robot, go near the bunny, rotate de camera, in especific angle, the bunny got the white cirche then you can lock him and hack
2022/06/23 work for me in 1.06 patched up. Also farming Powerup part L. Drop more than 3. Gave up around 19k XP. I start fight at lvl68 and i can possible hack him.
I dont rmemeber as I made this video like 2 or 3 months ago, get level 50+ 1st, by the time you get level 50+ you will definitely know everything. This area is in amusement park, it's available I believe pretty much during the 1st chapters with 9s until the end. + you can go back there at anytime after you beat the campaign / story 3 times to get the full final ending. then you can chapter select
seeing as how 2 b is in the video i would say one of the early chapters, hacking him should still be possible since otherwise it wouldnt be possible to 100% the enemies list but im having trouble with it as well
FA S I probably responded too late but you need to hack them before damaging them if you do it won't work, also try hacking the big robot with the hand cannon first
You have to wake him up first. You need to do about 70k damage to wake him up and depending on what level you are that can take up to 15 minutes or even as short as 3 minutes. I tried for the first time at level 74 and i got it to wake up in 3 minutes
Strange, I am the most updated version and this does not work. big statue only give me 191 exp each time Hack. First time I kill this took 50 minutes of hacking. and got me from lv 37 to 41 or 44. What I did wrong?
Note: The higher level you have, the faster you will kill him, this works best when you're level 50+ if you're lower than this it will take long to defeat him with hacks, because he's a level 80 enemy.
Zanar Aesthetics i can't fight with the bunny?
Can you tell me how can I fight the bunny??
I can't hack him.
I think you need to hack it as a robot so hack one of them around him and remote control it
i try already and still can't hack him.
btw i try to hit the bunny and is actually work
doesnt work for me either.
you have to hit the bunny quit long time
keep hitting the bunny, and the bunny will suddenly moving
the transition to the 8bit version of the background music is super sick! totally seamless!
yeah the company is known for their good use in sound design
should check out metal gear rising boss fights, the music evolves same way as in nier
Cuz Japanese people made it
Upvote so people can see.

That sounds like a power issue. most playstations default the controller to off afte 15 minutes of no use. You can turn that off in the settings.

Javier Rosales Haha i didnt realize i was being sarcastic in any way. I am very glad i helped someone out though! Happy leveling!
much faster too if you set difficulty to easy just for this
Can confirm, just did it this way. Thanks!
Thebunny doesnt move at all. And I cant hack it
Leveled up from lvl 74 to 99 in less than an hour because of this
I think it dosent work anymore

nice guide. saved me tons of hours of mindless grinding :)
It’s still a platinum action game, the grinding is only mindless if u let it be…. Try to get some dmc combos going

I bloody KNEW there was something dodgy with that statue but never figured it out.
What chip you use tu dodge (r2), the translation?
Great video, thanks for the help.
Did the new way and it took 30 min to get from 64 to 99. I suggest using chapter 04-01 with 9S.
What are the cips to use for very hard Morse? ( one hit death mode )
Help!! Can someone tell me how he got the blue streak on 9S when he runs/dodges? I would love to get that upgrade or whatever it is :)
Engine blade maxed
I'm here again after coming back to beat the dlc
Does it not work on the switch version? It wont even let me lock onto him.
It's done for me ;)
Thanks for all...
this doesn't work anymore on 1.06 the newest update from nier
the higher lvl you are, the faster you can awake this by hitting it. I started at lvl 59, it took me around 10 mins. At lvl 80, less than 10 sec. I strongly recommend don't do this too early in the game unless you want to fight Emil. Because above lvl 90, you basically just one shot everything and the game become boring.
i'm with 9s chapter select and the rabbit won't wake up, i have attacked it for at least a minute straight
Same
at the Amusement Park it doesn't work, the gold statue doesn't move an inch after being hit for a long time
Ok, I think it's about time people know it's not about damage. You can do it with any weapon you want. The deal is - with each attack you push the bunny a little bit and once it hits a corner it awakens. Everything about "not having enough damage" is bullshit. I tested it with both lvl 1 and lvl 4 weapons and after using the pushing tactic, there was no meaningful margin between the two. The best trick is to start hitting it from the side so its legs hit the edge more quickly. Thank me later.
May 6th. Did it as level 65. It's true that all you have to do now is hit it till it awakens. still gives great experience.
I've been smacking the shit outta of it but it still isn't awakening for some reason
WAR2OO1 Well step by step I went chapter 4 and used the pods turret while using melee at the same time. if you did all that and it didn't work, I'm not sure what happened.
I got it eventually. For some reason the first time I did it, it took 10 minutes of hitting and what not for some reason but after that it only took about 50 seconds or so
At what level you started doing this? cause im level 30 and i cant do no damage to him.
Thanks for the tips dude,this very helpfull
This is not patched as of march 24 2017
can confirm that it still works. @ lvl 59 it took about 15 minutes of hitting the bunny to activate it. 4 hacks dropped it. lvled up to 63 immediately. it snowballs from there. lvl 81 about an hour later
Does it still work in the newest patch I have been trying but no success.
Damaging it will wake it up, hacking doesn't work anymore though to wake it.
Advisable to take 9S still, since it's quite easy to hack it to death
of course it had to be in the area with ominous clowns that I hate and to no surprise, happens to be the area I've spent the least amount of time in...
Just did this method and got to level 99 in literally less than 20 minutes (From level 69). I had already gotten endings A, B, C, and D when I did this.
This still works as of April 4th 2017.
Obi ps4 or steam? if its ps4, do you have the patch on?
Ps4. I'm pretty sure my Nier is up to date.
How is your dash "blue" like that? And tks alot for the video pretty awesome trick
Eliezer Ian final fantasy Ultima blade is how btw
I believe you have to unlock/find the Engine Blade and upgrade it to LVL 4 from Legendary Blacksmith Murasame in the Forest Kingdom to get that effect.
What’s it do?
I tried this last night at level 54 and it *did* work, but it didn't die anywhere near as fast as in your video. I had to hack it like 10 times to kill it. I still gained 3 levels when it died, so at least it feels like it's worth the time to do it.
Are there chips to increase damage from hacking, or did they just increase how much health this guy has?
goober2049 They didn't do anything, hacking just gives xp proportional to how much damage it causes. Get to a higher level first, this method should only really be used to get from 60-65+ to 99 for the secret bosses.
balrog0444 my problem isn't in how much xp it gave, but in how long it took me to kill it. I must have hacked this enemy 10+ times before it died. The video shows someone who is only and 10 levels higher than me killing it in like 2 to 3 hacks.
Like I said, it still feels worth the time investment, but it's taking me considerably longer to kill this enemy.
That's just how the hacking is, I guess it's to stop it being overpowered and letting you fight enemies way above your level. Once you reach the right level it'll work properly.
So if you put it in easy mode and equip the chips for auto fire auto evade and the easy mode in the desert. You do not get hit at all and you don't even need to do anything and enemies keep responding. I'm watching the lore of nier right now gaining ex and not even looking at the screen it's amaze balls.
how do i get this animation while doging?
*sobs* I don't wanna kill any of those adorable machines in the amusement part. :c I'mma only going to attack the boss so I can spare their lives. ;-;
Is this only on route c cause I can't target him at all
It still works, got 14kxp from lvl70
Well..! Whatever was that,,, Christmas 2018-2019
As of 22.06.2022 the exploit still works but since patch 1.06 came out you wont be able to hack the statue anymore regardless if you're controlling a robot. @NakBon "What you have to do now is keep attacking it till it wakes up (yes it will wake up though from what I've seen you have to damage it significantly most likely 50-100k)"
So mashed it today - game with newesat DLC - the rabbit still works and its still kinda fast leveling bet require much more efford. I started on 60 lvl - with exp chip i get around 4~5 levels per kill. You need to kill all the robots- there is NO option to hack it when he is not moving. You need to smash him a lot... aroun 15 to 20 minuts !! You will notice he is slowly moving to the edge of the circle - when he reaches the edge (around that time) he will start moving and you can hack him - around 4 hackjs on 60 lvl and 2 hacks on 64. Hope i helped.
How do you get that blue figure when you dash? Do you only have that on PS4?
It's a special dash effect from Engine Blade, a Final Fantasy XV shout-out hidden in the game. There are plenty of guides on CZcams on how to get it
Does this still work ??? Because .... I can't lock on .. it won't let me
hit him, a lot
James Osbourne did hitting work?
James Osbourne yes but i hit hom so manytimes
James Osbourne
probably cuz your playing on hard/very hard mode
I'm on easy mode and it's still taking forever to be able to hack it....
My game was already patched,m and before i encounter the big bunny i have to hit him so many times before he moves 😭
2:22 where can I get that dash ability?
Equip Engine Blade and upgrade to level 4
you have to hit him now i think but he gave me like 20k a kill 3 levels everytime in hard difficulty but not sure if modes matter
Umm... i done this and i killed all of the Minions and yet the Boss hasn't come or not targetting can u help me how to move him ? he's not moving -.-
Does anyone know if this has been patched? I'm sitting here right now trying to hack the statue as a robot and it won't let me. When I'm out of it, I can hit the statue but that's about it.
Not on Xbox one
Still seems to work at higher levels (exp wise). I'll say that this process is far faster if you just hack one of the dudes on the staircase outside the plaza then walk up to the statue and hack it that way. It's like 3 extra minutes a run to kill the extras. They drop decent stuff, but it's probably more efficient to farm materials elsewhere
edit: on further examination, murdering everything in the courtyard with laser/missile
pod then hacking one of the dudes on the staircase is much faster than either methods
How do you get the blue damage values and evade particles?
Ben Forer The engine blade from FFXV changes that
Doesn’t work after the machines become zombies
Does this still work up to this day? Can't seem to hack the statue.
you can’t hack it with a higher grade machine anymore, you have to beat the shit out of it for it to wake up so you can kill it and get the exp, that takes 10,000 years if you’re lv 65 and lower
This feels completely pointless at level 55. Is there an easier way to get to level 60?
Im level 38,do i need a higher level so i can wake him up?
Or does it take more than 5 mins to wake him.
You need a much higher level as the enemy itself is level 80 so i would suggest lvl 50+ unless you wanna hit the bunny for a straight 2 hours
How are you able to steer in a circular pattern and still stay shooting during the hacking?
If I could do that I wouldn't spend up to 10 times trying to hack each hack session in the tower by the castle
pozestcom hacking is like flight mode, right stick to aim
i think he plays PC and uses Keyboard and Mouse. i tried keyboard and mouse at first but switched to controller
not working. just tried today . after remote control the tall robot. unable to do hacking on the statue
Apparently it got patched and now the statue comes to life on it's own once you eliminate all the robots and wait in the srea for about 5 or so minutes, you can use any character too, no need for 9S, you cant hack him anymore anyway
im doing my route B as 9s. will try to wait here for 5min and see what happen
ok just done trigger it . no need to wait 5mins. just kill all the surrounding robots in that area. and slashing him like 2 min. he will triggered itself and yes it can be hack as well.. im on level 70 now. 1 successful hack gain 13k exp . manage to reduce his hp bu 3/4
I'm trying to do this but it won't let me hack it
i dont know why everyone's saying that it's patched. i did this yesterday. i was lvl 70 and reached 99 in less than an hour lol
How do you change your sprint animation is there a shop for it?
MrThelastram its the same no matter what
The sprint animation in this video is from lvl 4 engine blade. (FF15 easter egg weapon)
May 14th 2024 and it took mw FOREVER but the statue still gets up, even though hacking didn't work and I had to hit it a LOT.
What is the blue dodge thing you're using to make 9S shift blue like that
Puff Ball It's the effect of the lvl. 4 Engine Sword
Puff Ball thanks for asking that question because I was thinking about the same thing!
Daily D and thank you for answering it
I cant hack it.. what should i do.?
i think this got patched out coz whenever i hack the bunny while using the tall machine i only get about 200 exp
It's not patched, I'm still getting 19,000 exp for a hack and 38k for kill. You must be doing something wrong. :o
I only got around 200 exp during my first playthrough. I went back there after finishing the game, I was around 50-60 level and I used the exp boost chips so I got around 100k per trip.
Experience gain here is a little odd, if you're a really low level you'll get less experience than if you were a higher level fighting this boss. Perhaps it's because the amount of experience you get hacking is based on the damage dealt.
Funny question, I know. But is it just me who tried to respawn enemies using only 'transport'??
Hmm.. after using this method first somehow robbed me the idea out of me that you can just save&load to respawn an enemy.
Alright it’s not working anymore. 02/2018
I'm lvl 69 and i can't trak him....anybody knows why? (I play on PC)
Get the combustion perk on him it does percent damage to him. i killed him twice now im level 60
how do i get remote control as 9s? and whats that blue evade?
you have to hack either an unaware or friendly enemy, once the hacking finishes you get an option of detonate, subjugate, and remote control, the evade i think is a bonus effect from their lv 4 engine sword
oh so that's what the statue is for
Rip my video on it
From what I heard it got patched
im still getting mad xp from it
i think its patch now lol
you can just reselect the chapter instead of reloading.
just did it yesterday on PC, still mad exp
im doing it right now, definitely not patched. only reason im using this is because dlc has level 99 requirement challenge
im lvl 46 and i cant hack him i know its patched now but im not sure why i cant even attempt to hack him
i did it today and i downloaded the update. if it helps i had an 80% exp boost so maybe that helped me. every time i would hack him i would get at least 19,000 exp
If you're talking about the hacking, you gotta hack a random machine (remote control it) and then use the machine to hack the statue.
i hack the machine but when i go to the statue and it does nothing when i try to hack
i got PC version and got the same problem, im lvl 55 but cant hack him and hit him dont work :/
I got it now, when you control the robot, go near the bunny, rotate de camera, in especific angle, the bunny got the white cirche then you can lock him and hack
2022/06/23 work for me in 1.06 patched up.
Also farming Powerup part L. Drop more than 3.
Gave up around 19k XP.
I start fight at lvl68 and i can possible hack him.
I'm spending $$$ around the chips to get the attribute 80~100% and go beat everything
or you could of set the game to easy, and have no issues at all, then just switch it back after your done
Hello. Could you tell me which chapter to enter to access this area with 9S? Thank you.
I dont rmemeber as I made this video like 2 or 3 months ago, get level 50+ 1st, by the time you get level 50+ you will definitely know everything. This area is in amusement park, it's available I believe pretty much during the 1st chapters with 9s until the end. + you can go back there at anytime after you beat the campaign / story 3 times to get the full final ending. then you can chapter select
There is something wrong, i can't lock on to him, i always thought it was weird it shows up as a enemy on the map but i can't lock on...
The glitch does not work anymore, I've tried it and it did not work. Unfortunately
aw.
seeing as how 2 b is in the video i would say one of the early chapters, hacking him should still be possible since otherwise it wouldnt be possible to 100% the enemies list but im having trouble with it as well
imma try this im 51 but im in playthrough 3 will it still work?
beat all of the first 5 endings and just use chapter select to play as 9s anytime in the story and just pop in there.
The machines always explode, I can't remote control them.
FA S I probably responded too late but you need to hack them before damaging them if you do it won't work, also try hacking the big robot with the hand cannon first
Hack them before they notice you are here (do it from behind)
how did u remote control that one? i can only damage what i hack
hack them when they haven't noticed you. this lets you choose to remote control them.
This is not working anymore
just hit him for a few minutes, he will wake up and attack you.
did they patch this? cuz I can't hack him
I tried to do it the rabbit won't move n I can't hack him I'm playing on chapter 7-1
You have to wake him up first. You need to do about 70k damage to wake him up and depending on what level you are that can take up to 15 minutes or even as short as 3 minutes. I tried for the first time at level 74 and i got it to wake up in 3 minutes
Strange, I am the most updated version and this does not work. big statue only give me 191 exp each time Hack. First time I kill this took 50 minutes of hacking. and got me from lv 37 to 41 or 44. What I did wrong?
same here
your level is low, this works best when you're level 50+ and when you're 85+ you kill him with 1 hack
So how long do you think it will take to get from lvl 1 to lvl 99?
faster in the arena zone of desert city. also equipe some experience v6
atention this trick dosent work at all from lvl 1 to 50 so dont bother
How can u control them , when I hack all it does is kill them
Don't attack them, hack the big guy first :v
Why is ur evade on 9s looks like that?
