Discover Dented Plate Locations in Nier: Automata
NieR: Automata Resource Management: Farming Dented Plates
While resource abundance varies in NieR: Automata, the demand for materials, especially for weapon upgrades, remains consistently high. Dented Plates, a frequently needed resource, can be efficiently farmed using several strategies.
Efficient Dented Plate Farming Locations
Dented Plates are commonly dropped by:
- Small Biped (all variants)
- Small Flyer (all variants)
- Small Sphere (all variants)
These common enemies are frequently encountered throughout the game. However, relying solely on random encounters and fast travel isn't the most effective method.
Optimal Farming Spot: Adam's Arena
The most efficient location is the arena where you first battle Adam. Fast travel to the Desert: Housing Complex access point, then proceed to the pit. Here, enemies continuously respawn, providing a steady supply of Small Bipeds, the primary source of Dented Plates. Even lower-level enemies in this area offer a decent drop rate. This location is also beneficial for farming Titanium Alloy.
Alternative Farming Location: Forest Kingdom
The Forest Kingdom offers another viable option. Groups of spear-wielding Bipeds frequently appear, usually dropping at least one Dented Plate per group. This area also provides opportunities to gather Beast Hide. Note that higher-level Bipeds yield a higher drop rate, so progressing through the story increases your chances of acquiring Dented Plates.
Improving Drop Rates
Equipping drop-rate enhancing plug-in chips significantly boosts your yield. Remember to avoid death, as this results in permanent chip loss.
