'NieR: Automata' Player Is The Only Person In The World To Find This Secret Room

Just look at titles like Red Dead Redemption 2. It was several years after release that fans figured out where John got his iconic hat, or how Horseshoe Overlook came to receive its name. Now, NieR: Automata has revealed an incredibly secret area. In fact, it’s so secret that only one person in the world has found it.

Reddit user sadfutago recently took to the site to announce that they had found a hidden church, but a friend had been unable to locate the same area. They wrote, “Does anyone know how to open up the doors to get to this area in the Copied City? I can open the hallway doors fine, but my friend who’s at the same part of the game as me can’t open it.”

The thing is, no such church has ever been discovered in the Copied City so naturally, fans flooded to the post as they tried to unlock the mystery of this never-before-seen location. Sadfutago later shared further videos from the church, which was accessed via a long ladder which then led to a spiraling corridor. Inside the church, there was a lunar tear evaporating out of a body. You can’t blame fans for assuming this all meant something but it begs the question, why had no one had found this area before?

Some thought that perhaps it was all a hoax and this was simply the result of a mod but sadfutago claimed otherwise. Now, producer Yosuke Saito has added fuel to the fire after he tweeted, “Eternal mystery…” which sure does make the weird find sound real. The plot thickens.
