NieR: Automata's opening introduces 2B's initial mission. After deploying and engaging in melee combat, you'll acquire a one-handed and a two-handed sword.

The two-handed weapon, the Virtuous Treaty, is a powerful early-game sword temporarily lost after the prologue. However, it's quickly recoverable once free-roaming is unlocked in the subsequent chapter.

  1. Where To Find the Virtuous Treaty in NieR: Automata

This early-game weapon is easily accessible near your starting point after exiting the bunker. Upon landing in the city ruins, descend to the lower area. To the left, locate the highway above the nearest access point. Proceed towards the highway, utilizing the ruins to climb onto the road. This path leads back towards the factory.

Jump down to the factory level and follow the grassy path towards the main structure. On the left, you'll find another access point with stairs leading upwards. At the top, look left towards 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.

  1. Virtuous Treaty Stats in NieR: Automata

  • Attack: 300-330
  • Combo: Light 2, Heavy 2

Typical of two-handed swords, the Virtuous Treaty excels at wide-sweeping attacks, dealing significant damage to multiple enemies. Its attack speed is notably slower. However, upgrades can make it one of the game's highest damage-dealing weapons, provided you adapt to its slower pace. You can also incorporate it into combos with faster weapons using a heavy attack; while this won't yield a full combo, it adds substantial damage to quicker attacks, mitigating its slow speed disadvantage.
