Sartre and Beauvoir
NieR: Automata Easter Eggs
During your second run of NieR: Automata, you’ll start to learn more about the backstory of the now-iconic songstress boss. Her name is revealed as Beauvoir, and she’s a machine who longed for the attention of a male machine. To that end, she started trying to make herself look beautiful and even ate other machines to enhance herself. However, the male machine never looked her way.
There’s no official confirmation of this, but that male machine could very well be Sartre from Pascal’s Village. Through his side mission, we find out that he’s a pretty philosophical dude who shuns all of his female fans. Beauvoir might’ve been one of those fans who just wanted his attention. Another fun fact: Sartre and Beauvoir are named after two famous philosophers.
