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 a powerful early-game sword temporarily lost after the prologue. However, it's quickly recoverable once free-roaming is unlocked in the subsequent chapter.

Where To Find the Virtuous Treaty in NieR: Automata
This early-game weapon is easily accessible near your initial spawn point after exiting the bunker. Upon landing in the city ruins, descend to the lower area. To the left, locate the highway above the nearest access point. Proceed towards the highway, utilizing the ruins to climb onto the road. This path leads back towards the factory.
Descend into the factory area and follow the grassy path to the main structure. An access point and stairs to an upper area are situated on the left. On this upper level, locate the destroyed bridge where you previously fought the Goliath. The Virtuous Treaty is embedded in the ground at the bridge's edge.
Your discarded equipment from the prologue, including consumables, is also locatable just to the right of the sword.

Virtuous Treaty Stats in NieR: Automata
- Attack Power: 300-330
- Combo: Light 2, Heavy 2
Typical of two-handed weapons, the Virtuous Treaty excels in wide, high-damage attacks affecting multiple enemies. Its attack speed is slower, however. Upgrades can significantly boost its damage output, making it a top contender if you can manage its slower attack. It can also be incorporated into combos with faster weapons using heavy attacks, supplementing the slower attack speed with increased damage.
