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 Virtuous Treaty, a powerful two-handed sword, is 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 located near your starting 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, using the ruins to climb onto the road. This path leads back towards the factory.

Jump down to the factory and follow the grassy path to the main structure. An access point and stairs to an upper area are situated on the left. On the left side of this upper area, near the destroyed bridge where you fought the Goliath, you'll find the Virtuous Treaty embedded in the ground.

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

2. Virtuous Treaty Stats in NieR: Automata

• Attack: 300-330
• Combo: Lt 2 Hv 2

This two-handed sword, like others in its class, delivers wide-sweeping attacks, inflicting significant damage on multiple enemies. Its attack speed is slower than many other weapons. However, upgrades can potentially make it one of the highest-damage weapons in the game, provided you adapt to its slower pace. You can also incorporate it into combos with faster weapons by using a heavy attack during their sequences. While this prevents a full Virtuous Treaty combo, it leverages its high damage output to compensate for its slow speed.
