NieR: Automata's opening introduces 2B's mission. After deploying and engaging in melee combat, you'll acquire a one-handed and a two-handed sword. The latter, the Virtuous Treaty, is a powerful weapon temporarily lost after the prologue. However, it's quickly recoverable 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 the left, you'll see a 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.

Descend into the factory and follow the grassy path to the main structure. An access point and stairs leading upwards are 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, ready for retrieval.

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: Light 2, Heavy 2

This two-handed sword, like others in its class, specializes in wide-ranging attacks, dealing substantial damage to multiple enemies. Its attack speed is notably slow. However, upgrades can potentially make it one of the game's highest-damage weapons, provided you adapt to its slower pace. You can also integrate it into combos with faster weapons by using a heavy attack during their sequences. While this prevents a full Virtuous Treaty combo, it allows you to leverage its high damage output despite its slow speed.
