In the opening chapters of NieR: Automata, players are thrust into the heart of 2B's mission. As soon as you land your flight unit and start engaging enemies with melee weapons, you'll be equipped with a one-handed sword and a two-handed sword. The two-handed sword, known as the Virtuous Treaty, is a powerful weapon that you'll lose after completing the prologue. However, fear not! You can reclaim this formidable blade early in the next chapter when free roaming becomes available.

Where To Get The Virtuous Treaty In NieR: Automata

The Virtuous Treaty is the first additional weapon you can acquire in the game, and it's conveniently located near your initial spawn point after leaving the bunker for the surface. After landing in the city ruins and descending to the lower area, turn to your left to spot a highway over the nearest access point. Approach the highway directly, using the ruins to climb up and run along its main road. This path will guide you back towards the factory.

Once you reach the factory, follow the grassy path leading to the main structure. On the left side, you'll find another access point and a set of stairs leading to an upper area. In this upper area, look to your left to see the remains of the destroyed bridge where you previously battled a Goliath-class enemy. Head to the edge of the destroyed bridge, and you'll find the Virtuous Treaty embedded in the ground, ready to be reclaimed.

Just beyond the sword to the right, you'll find your old body, which you can loot to retrieve all your consumables from the prologue.

• Attack: 300-330
• Combo: Lt 2 Hv 2

As a typical two-handed weapon, the Virtuous Treaty excels in delivering wide-sweeping attacks that can hit multiple enemies with substantial damage. However, it comes with a slower attack speed. Through upgrades, this weapon has the potential to boast one of the highest damage outputs in the game, provided you can adapt to its slower pace. Additionally, you can enhance your combat strategy by combining it with a quicker weapon. By executing a heavy attack during a faster combo, you can briefly leverage the Virtuous Treaty's high damage, even if you can't utilize its full combo potential.
