Endings
Here you can find all Endings and how to get them, use chapter select to get them the quickest way
Ending A: flowers for m[𝐀]chines
Play through the game for the first time and complete all of the Main Story Quests.
Ending B: or not to [𝐁]e
Play through the game for the second time as 9S
Ending C: meaningless [Ⅽ]ode
Play through the game for the third time and pick A2 in the final battle
Ending D: chil[𝐃]hood’s end
During the final boss battle in Ending Ⅽ, choose 9S
Ending E: the [𝐄]nd of yorha
Repeat the final boss battle from Ending Ⅽ and complete the credit minigame.
You can sacrifice your savefile here, however it will delete all of your savefiles
Before trying to achieve any of the other endings you should always save as all of the following endings put you back to the main menu screen without saving first
Ending F: mission [𝐅]ailed
[Ch. 01-03_2] After Engels knocks 9S onto his back, fail to repair your system by letting the timer run out.
Ending G: hun[𝐆]ry for knowledge
[Ch. 01-01_2] When you get control of 9S for the first time, walk to the crane and neglect the mission.
Ending H: a mountain too [𝐇]igh
[Ch. 05-02] Ignore the order to intercept the Goliath's attack on the city and abandon the mission. Taking the path from Pascal's Village to the Amusement Park easily achieves this.
Ending I: no [𝐈] in team
[Ch. 08-01_2] Defeat the boss at the Copied City, then walk away from 9S.
Ending J: bad [𝐉]udgement
[Ch. 09-01_3] When entering the factory and meeting the machines, kill any of them.

Ending L: [𝐋]one wolf
[Ch. 10-01_3] OR [Ch. 10-03] Either exit the Resistance Camp while it's being attacked OR abandon the entrance to Pascal's Village when the boss creature shows up.
Ending M: break ti[𝐌]e
[Ch. 14-03] Don't go to Pascal's Village when it's attacked while playing as A2. Running to the back of the Resistance Camp, Factory or Amusement Park instead should trigger this.

[Ch. 07-01] Destroy every machine in Pascal's village
Ending O: just y[𝐎]u and me
[Ch. 11-03] Instead of proceeding forward to the City Ruins, simply run back towards the Factory.

[Ch. 11-06] Allow 2B to die from the virus. Note: save in the City Ruins: Near Tower to achieve Ending X quicker
Ending Q: [𝐐]uestionable actions
[Ch. 11-07] Don't go to 2B's location near the commercial facility. Heading to the desert area or back towards the Resistance Camp instead will trigger this ending.

Ending S: city e[𝐒]cape
[Ch. 17-01] When attempting to gain access to the Tower, abandon Popola and Devola after they attempt to protect you. Note: Save after hacking each of the towers to achieve Ending V a bit quicker

Ending Y: head[𝐘] battle
Allow Emil to self-destruct at the end of the boss fight in the quest "Emil's Determination".
WARNING: You can miss this ending if you dont let Emil self-destruct as it will finish the quest. Let Emil Self-Destruct, then fight Emil again and destroy his last clone.
Ending Z: over[𝐙]ealous
[Ch. 14-01] After leaving the desert, when you encounter and save Pascal outside the Resistance Camp, choose to kill him instead of sparing him.

Sacrificing Your Savefile
In my opinion you should do this before you start your 100% savefile.
Just rush through the game and agree to sacrificing yourself
Note: This will delete EVERY savefile that you currently own
After this you can start your journey with this new epic main menu screen
Tips And Tricks
Leveling
If you need to level, go to the dessert are where you fight Adam, as this place is spawning infinite enemies
Now simply set the difficulty to easy, equip the auto-fire, auto-attack, auto-evade and maybe the auto-heal plug in chips
You can now go AFK until you're about level 70, after this play as 9S and head to the Amusement Park
Now go to the big bunny statue, equip the blade Pod programm and start attacking that statue
It will come to live after about 2 minutes of attacking it. After that, hack it to destroy it
This enemy drops a machine core and loads of EXP after you defeat him
Now save the game and load your savefile as this miniboss respawns everytime you reload the game
Money
You first need to unlock chapter select to do this method.
Go into chapter 7-1 as 2B (or any other Route A chapter) and head to the amusement park vendor
Buy as many Thick Dictionaries and other expensive resources as you can and save the game
Now go into any Route C chapter and sell all of the items that you just bought and save the game again
Repeat this a couple of times and you should have enough money to afford everything in the game in about 10 minutes
Optional: Buy meteorites from the half-wit inventor to make even more money
Have Fun On Your Journey
Good luck, don't give up if things don't go your way and feel free to ask me in the comments if you have any questions
