Goat Hides are an item inNieR Replicantthat players will need to collect to complete a couple of side quests. As many fans are likely to expect, this item is obtained by dispatching Goats, though they may be uncertain about where they can find these animals. It is with these players in mind that this guide is being written, and full details onNieR Replicant’s Goat Hides can be found in what follows.

To start, it is important to note that the drop rate for Goat Hides is quite low, and indeed fans may need to eliminate a large number of Goats before they have the Hides that they need.NieR Replicantplayersthat have already located some of these animals are thus advised to simply keep farming them, and those that do should eventually obtain the item of interest. While this recommendation may be slightly annoying to fans that have already killed a ton of Goats, persistence is really the only option.

Additionally, it worth mentioning that some of the Goats on the map will disappear upon reaching the second part ofNieR Replicant.Action RPGfans that are reading this guide as they work on the New Merchant in Town side quest in Part 1 may thus want to farm some additional Goat Hides before they move on. This is because there is another side quest in Part 2 that requires three of these Hides, and they will be slightly more difficult to acquire at that point in the game.

With all of this established, it is now possible to talk about where to find Goats, and there are two good locations to focus on during Part 1. The first and best of those locations is along the Eastern Road, and players can farm the Goats that appear there by running back and forth between the Lost Shrine and the village ofNieR Replicant’s main character.

The other location is the Northern Plains, as there are a couple of Goats by the path that leads to the village and another couple by the broken bridge nearNieR Replicant’s Forest of Myth. While this area is not as good as the Eastern Road, fans may want to check these spots anytime that they pass through the Northern Plains. That said, these are the creatures that will disappear in Part 2, and the Eastern Road Goats will be the only ones left to farm when that occurs.

NieR Replicantis available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
