Hey, so I tested your strat, and it initially did not work. I would knock the friendbot into the boss but the boss would fail to activate. After analyzing your clip a few times I eventually realized you were setting the friendbot on fire, which then set the boss on fire, which means you're using the combust hack plug-in chip. I then made sure to equip combust, went to try it again, and it worked. Combust is the key to triggering the boss. So I think you'll want to update or remake this guide to include this specific requirement. Appreciate the video my guy! EDIT: This actually may not be viable past a certain level. I'm now level 76 and the increased damage from the hack explosion instantly kills the friendbot which doesn't give it a chance to light on fire and thus the statue will not activate. Going to keep trying but doesn't seem to be working anymore. EDIT 2: This actually isn't a big deal because I can do enough damage to wake it the normal way now. So this is still a very useful method.
I actually love you for that Read some comment speaking about how the foot of the statue has to touch the edge of the fountain and did it for 40 minutes just for it to be false which almost made me cry, and now there you are! My life savior
Here's a tip to make this easier, hack and control a flying robot (the robot must not be hostile when hacking) and push the statue down towards the friend-bot. After that you can hit any enemy robot once to bait them. The rest is just the same.
My legit strat was getting to at least lvl 60, slap a bunch of pod cooldown chips, and set all three pods to have Bomb equipped. You can basically have an endless stream of bombs hitting the statue by switching pods and activating the program. Make sure you attack cancel to end the lag
Still works. I fought it for an hour at level 51 and it didn’t spawn. Came across your video while doing it and I stopped to try. Worked first try. Thank you so much. Edit: can confirm he is talking about ending C playthrough.
If the robot isn't there for you, you may have to progress further into the story. I believe the robot next to him only spawns once you've begun the third route. If you're already on the third route, then I'm sorry, that's all I could really tell you.

Thanks for your help in testing this! I've pinned this so others can see your hard work.
I actually love you for that

Just tested this and it works perfectly! You need to use the combust chip in order to make it work tho

it worked great; I thank you dearly.
Friend bot strat OP
Still works. I fought it for an hour at level 51 and it didn’t spawn. Came across your video while doing it and I stopped to try. Worked first try. Thank you so much.
Edit: can confirm he is talking about ending C playthrough.
Thought it was ending C. Thanks for helping to confirm it!
Wow, this strat is interesting! Has anyone else found out about it?
Far as I can tell, no. I looked it up a bit before posting to make sure.
You can use gravity skill (pod skill) to get the bot inside
Excllent tip! thanks!
WOAH
where do u get that from?
Didn’t work don’t know why
In PC how do I hack? My settings are at default.
NIER SAMURAI 1000
How do you get friend bot there?
As shown in the video, I used a spear uppercut/down slash to get him inside the ring.
ISONIER9000
How do you get the robot right under him into position? Mine doesn’t have one of those
