Quick Links
In the expansive world of NieR: Automata, players have a wide array of weapons at their disposal, from the quirky Iron Pipe to the formidable Type-40 Blade. Among these, there's a special treat for fans of Square Enix: the iconic Engine Blade from Final Fantasy 15. This weapon can be acquired during your first playthrough of NieR: Automata. Let's dive into where to find it and explore its basic stats.
Where To Find The Engine Blade In NieR: Automata
To get your hands on the Engine Blade, you'll need to venture into the factory. It's not available during the game's intro, so patience is key. You'll have to return as 2B later in the game. For a quicker route, use Chapter Select mode to jump directly to Chapter 9. Start or fast travel to the Factory: Hanger access point, located partway through the factory.
From the access point, head right along the path, which shifts to a 2D camera angle. You'll pass a fenced-off section, climb broken stairs, and navigate a conveyor belt with boxes. Be cautious of the next conveyor belt with descending presses that can crush you. After crossing, jump to a cylinder where you'll encounter two spider-like enemies.
Proceed through the door to your left, ascend more stairs, and watch out for exploding enemies descending towards you. Midway up, the railing will end, and the platform will extend toward the camera. Walk forward to switch to another 2D platforming section. Follow the path left, jumping across the tops of the presses. At the end, you'll find a room with three chests. The Engine Blade awaits in the left chest, while a locked chest sits to the right.
Be prepared for more exploding enemies to drop from the ceiling as you approach the chests.
Engine Blade Basic Stats In NieR: Automata
- Attack: 160-200
- Combo: Light 5, Heavy 3
The Engine Blade can be upgraded four times, eventually boosting its light combo to 7 attacks. To achieve these upgrades, you'll need to find the Masamune. Unlike the Iron Pipe, the Engine Blade boasts a low damage spread, making it a reliable choice for players who prefer predictable damage output.
