15 Video Game Endings Which You Had to Work Really Hard for

NieR: Automata

While not particularly difficult to achieve, getting the final ending in NieR: Automata will take a good chunk of time. It requires playing through roughly the same sequence of story events twice. On the third playthrough, you alternate between 9S and A2, ultimately facing each other in the Machines’ Tower. The battle must be completed from both perspectives and then you need to fight the credits (yes, the credits). But most of important, if you want to ensure that others get to see the best ending, where our heroes are resurrected, you have to delete all of your save data. If you did all of the side content, that could mean almost 60 hours of progress wiped out.
