The Southern Plains is a location in NieR and NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139.... It leads to the Manor and Seafront.
Overview[]
The plains are initially home to a large number of deer, along with the occasional spider creeping out from Emil's mansion. Both disappear completely after the timeskip, with Shades having taken over the area since. A giant Shade appears here early in the game after coming back from Seafront, and can easily kill Nier in one hit. Shades are also seen ambushing a soldier, who rewards Nier with Moonrise once he is saved.
At all times throughout the game, the weather in the plains will change at random when entered, which affects the amount of Shades that spawn, even as they wear armor to protect themselves from sunlight.
