Quick Links
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 two-handed weapon, the Virtuous Treaty, is quite powerful but temporarily lost after the prologue. However, you can quickly reacquire it after gaining free roam 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 level. To your 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.
Descend to the factory and follow the grassy path to the main structure. On the left, you'll find another access point with stairs leading upwards. In this upper area, locate the destroyed bridge where you fought the Goliath enemy. The Virtuous Treaty is embedded in the ground at the bridge's edge.
Your discarded equipment from the prologue, including consumables, is located just to the right of the sword.

Virtuous Treaty Stats in NieR: Automata
- Attack: 300-330
- Combo: Lt 2 Hv 2
Typical of two-handed swords, the Virtuous Treaty excels at wide, high-damage attacks affecting multiple enemies. However, its attack speed is slow. Upgrades can potentially make it one of the game's highest-damage weapons, provided you adapt to its slower pace. You can also incorporate it into combos with faster weapons using a heavy attack, sacrificing a full combo for increased damage output.
