(McDonald is also responsible for finding Nier: Automata’s supposed “ final secret” last year.) It wasn’t until Monday, when prominent modder and streamer Lance McDonald posted a new wrinkle in the saga, that the story of Nier: Automata’s new mystery exploded. Some were suspicious, and called the video faked. The original poster, who goes by sadfutago on Reddit, later posted video of the church and where they accessed it - through a never-before-seen camouflaged door. “I don’t think you can enter any building in the Copied City,” another responded. There’s no church in that level, one player said.
They had access to it, so why didn’t their friend? Other players didn’t know what the original poster was talking about. The saga of Nier: Automata’s secret new area - a church hidden behind a wall in the game’s Copied City area - started in early June, when a player posted a question to the Nier subreddit asking what was required to access the church area.
But dozens of Nier enthusiasts are digging through game files, replaying the game, debating the extent of Nier: Automata modding technology, and studying videos frame-by-frame like a modern-day Zapruder film. The Nier: Automata modding community has, thus far, no definitive answers to those questions. Players who are intimately familiar with Nier : Automata and the game’s current modding scene are stumped by the discovery: Does venturing into this previously unseen area require a very specific set of requirements? Is it a mod of the PC version masquerading as a PlayStation 4 game? Is this a prank? An ARG from the developers? Something else? What makes the secret more perplexing is that only a single anonymous player has ever allegedly accessed it. Nier: Automata fans and the game’s modding community are confounded by the reveal of a previously unseen secret area in the game - a discovery made five years after Automata’s release on PlayStation 4.
