NieR: Automata's opening throws players into 2B's mission. After landing 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 enabled 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.

Jump down to the factory level and follow the grassy path to 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 fought the Goliath). The Virtuous Treaty is embedded in the ground near the bridge's edge.

Your old body, containing consumables from the prologue, is also locatable just to the right of the sword.

Virtuous Treaty Stats in NieR: Automata

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

Typical of two-handed weapons, the Virtuous Treaty excels at wide-sweeping attacks, inflicting significant damage on multiple enemies. However, its attack speed is slower than other weapons. Upgrades can potentially make this one of the highest-damage weapons in the game, provided you adapt to its slower attack speed. You can also strategically incorporate it into combos with faster weapons using heavy attacks, maximizing damage output despite its slower speed.
