NieR: Automata's opening throws players into 2B's mission. After deploying your flight unit and engaging in melee combat, you'll acquire a one-handed and a powerful two-handed sword, the Virtuous Treaty. This weapon is temporarily lost after the prologue, but readily reacquired once free-roaming is unlocked in the subsequent chapter.

Where To Find the Virtuous Treaty in NieR: Automata

This early-game weapon is located near your initial spawn point after exiting the bunker. Upon landing in the city ruins, descend to the lower area. To your left, you'll spot a highway above the nearest access point. Proceed towards the highway, utilizing the ruins to climb onto the main road. This path leads back towards the factory.

Jump down to the factory and follow the grassy path towards the main structure. An access point with stairs leading upwards is situated on the left. At the top, locate the destroyed bridge where you encountered the Goliath enemy. The Virtuous Treaty is embedded in the ground at the bridge's edge.

Your discarded equipment from the prologue, containing consumables, is located just to the right of the sword.

Virtuous Treaty Stats in NieR: Automata

• Attack: 300-330
• Combo: Lt 2 Hv 2

This two-handed sword, typical of its type, delivers wide-sweeping attacks inflicting substantial damage on multiple enemies, albeit with a slower attack speed. Upgrades can potentially make this one of the game's highest-damage weapons, provided you adapt to its slower pace. Combine it with a faster weapon for a hybrid approach; while a full combo is impossible, its high damage output can supplement quicker attacks.
