One created Brother as a fail-safe in case anything bad happens to her. Brother is a clone of One but instead of female, Brother was cloned as a male. You see, in Ending A, Zero kills One, but immediately after, she's killed by Brother. Leading to different endings, this is where things start to get a little confusing. Mikhail and Zero went into hiding to recover.Ī year later, Zero resumes her quest and she managed to take down her sisters one by one. Michael was reborn as Mikhail keeping memories intact. Luckily, Michael didn't really die as in the world of Drakengard, dragons have the power to reincarnate. During Zero's first assassination attempt on the five Intoners, they fight back, killing Michael and leaving Zero severely wounded in the process. In contrast, Zero was branded as a criminal for her desire to assassinate them. As the five sisters killed the evil rulers of the land, they were worshipped by the citizens of Midgard. Zero's sisters were all blessed with the power of Song as well and they were known in Midgard as the Intoners. On her journey, she enlisted the help of the dragon Michael, who swore to kill Zero after she completes her quest to kill her sisters. At this moment, the flower retaliated using its power to give birth to five sisters who were named orderly as One, Two, Three, Four and Five (Not very original, but hey, they are clones after all).Īs a consequence, Zero now goes on a journey to hunt down her five sisters and search for a way to permanently destroy the flower itself. Of course, all her attempts ended up in failure and Zero was forced to commit suicicide. After learning of the flower's origin and intentions to possibly bring destruction to the world, she tried to remove it from her right eye in an attempt to kill it. After her rebirth, the girl discarded her old name (Rose) and started calling herself Zero. By implanting itself in the girl's right eye, the girl was cured back to health and as a result she gained the power of song. Later we found that the flower gained power by latching on to a young sex worker who was on the brink of death. It also serves as a significant symbol in which the story of Drakengard and NieR starts with said flower. Either way, the important thing to note here is the fact that the flower is evil, and it wants to destroy the world. No one is really sure where flower actually came from or what it actually does, except that it is said to be the product of some form of black magic. The main antagonist of the Drakengard series isn't some psychotic, world destroying villain instead, it is a delicate white flower that looks harmless to anyone who passes by. However, I did notice that the events get a little messy and muddy after NieR's ending, but I'll do my best to explain the possible connections and links between the original and Automata. This means that I'll only be covering the events in the relevant branches for each game, but also consider that the endings that I left out will contain important and significant lore points which will help you to further understanding the world.Īs such, I'll be going through significant events such as the Flower's appearance in Drakengard 3, the creation of the cult of the Watchers, the defeat of the Queen-beast and appearance of the legion, the start of Project Gestalt and the events occurred in the original Nier (Yes, I did go back and finished it on ps3). For the purpose of this guide, we'll be examining the timeline that brings us to the events of NieR: Automata. The world's history spans the entirety of four different games (so far since drakengard 2 is not designed by Yoko Taro and is considered to be noncanonical), and each game has multiple endings that lead into different timelines or outcomes. To fully understand the world of Midgard and NieR's depiction of post apocalyptic Tokyo is no easy feat. Kudos to the amazing world created by the one and only Yoko Taro. With that being said, it is time to dig deep into the lore of drakengard and nier as the shift in time period and storyline can be really convoluted. ![]() Before I start this guide, I would suggest that if you want to completed any of the drakengard or nier games stop reading now to avoid potential spoilers on multiple games.
