NieR: Automata offers a diverse arsenal, from quirky choices like the Iron Pipe to heavy hitters such as the Type-40 Blade. Many weapons are unique YoRHa designs, but one stands out for Square Enix fans: Noctis's Engine Blade from Final Fantasy XV. This guide details its location and key stats, accessible during your first playthrough.

Where To Find The Engine Blade In NieR: Automata

The Engine Blade awaits within the factory, but not during the game's opening. You'll need to revisit as 2B; access is possible anytime afterward. Chapter Select (Chapter 9) provides a shortcut for quick acquisition. Begin at the Factory: Hanger access point.

Exiting the access point room, veer right (2D camera perspective). Pass a fenced area, ascend broken stairs, and navigate conveyor belts with moving boxes and potentially lethal presses. Reach a cylinder area with spider-like enemies.

Enter the door to your left, climbing stairs while dodging descending explosive enemies. A railing ends mid-way, leading to a platform extending towards the camera. This triggers a 2D platforming section across presses; follow the path left. The final room contains three chests. The Engine Blade resides in the leftmost chest; a locked chest is on the right.

Caution: Explosive enemies will descend from the ceiling as you approach the chest.
