Quest log[]
- Something's wrong with Emil. Follow him to the desert.
- Defeat the giant Emil.
- Replicated and sent into battle again and again, Emil knows all too well the pain of war without end. Unfortunately, no copy is a perfect duplicate - so some Emils eventually snapped and ran wild. His cherished memories brought him back to his senses, however.
Rewards[]
- (Optional) Ending: head[Y] battle
Notes[]
- Emil first hints about the existence of this quest at the very end of Emil's Memories, with 2B noticing something when he mentioned he still has something else to do.
- Due to this being a sidequest instead of part of the story, it cannot be done again after completing it the first time. Due to this, it is advised that players first allow Emil to self-destruct in order to unlock ending Y, as it will remain unavailable if the quest has already been completed.
