Acquiring certain crafting materials in NieR: Automata proves significantly more challenging than others. While not visually distinct, some resources, like the Pristine Screw, are exceptionally rare.
Although purchasable from Emil, his stock fluctuates, making direct acquisition from machines a potentially faster and cheaper alternative. Below are two farming strategies for Pristine Screws.
Where To Find Pristine Screws in NieR: Automata
Goliath-Bipeds, the largest non-boss machines, drop screws, with Pristine Screws being the rarest variety. Higher-level Goliath-Bipeds yield a better drop rate; early-game acquisition is practically impossible.
Several locations reliably spawn Goliath-Bipeds. The pit where Adam is first encountered is one such spot, also ideal for farming Machine Arms. However, the Goliath-Bipeds here are around level 30, resulting in a low Pristine Screw drop rate. The advantage is their constant respawn, ensuring a steady supply of targets.
Alternatively, during the third playthrough, fast travel to the Forest Castle: Front access point. Two level 49 Goliath-Bipeds guard the entrance, offering a higher drop chance. However, these do not respawn; you'll need to repeatedly fast travel to a distant location and return.
Both methods benefit from using a drop-rate boosting plug-in chip.
Which Farming Method Is More Efficient?
The optimal method depends on two key factors:
- Game and system load times:
- Player patience:
Farming Pristine Screws is inherently time-consuming. The Forest method, while offering a better drop rate, involves frequent loading screens, minimizing actual gameplay. Choose this if load times are negligible. The pit method provides continuous gameplay, additional materials, and XP, making it preferable if minimizing loading screens is prioritized.
