Ko-Shi & Ro-Shi is a hybrid boss unit in NieR:Automata.
Description[]
A machine lifeform formed by combining two multi-legged, Goliath-class units. Former leg sections of combined units have been repurposed into a pair of powerful arms making it capable of rolling out powerful attacks from both close and long range.

Notes[]
- This unit is encountered during 17-07.
- An extremely high powered combined variant of the previous multi-legged machines Ko-Shi and Ro-Shi.
- The player's perspective will constantly switch between A2 and 9S as they try to take on the massive Goliath-class unit. This effect increases rapidly as the battle progresses, forcing the player to concentrate on the location of both characters at once.
- The entire body of this unit is covered in electricity, which damages the player upon contact. However, it can be disabled after Ko-Shi & Ro-Shi uses a powerful attack, some of which are listed above.
Trivia[]
- Their names are the Japanese readings of Confucius (孔子) and Laozi (老子), Chinese philosophers.
- Their name etymology, color scheme, and the constant switching between A2 and 9S during the Tower ascent and boss battle may be a reference to the concept of yin and yang in traditional Chinese philosophy.
