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 Virtuous Treaty, a powerful weapon, is 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 located near your initial spawn point after exiting the bunker. 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, utilizing 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 leading upward are situated on the left. At the top, look left towards the destroyed bridge where you encountered the Goliath enemy. The Virtuous Treaty is embedded in the ground at the bridge's edge.

Your discarded body, containing prologue consumables, is located just to the right of the sword.

Virtuous Treaty Stats in NieR: Automata

• Attack: 300-330
• Combo: Lt 2 Hv 2

This two-handed sword, like others of its type, delivers wide-sweeping attacks, dealing significant damage to multiple enemies. However, its attack speed is slow. 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 a quicker weapon's sequence. While this prevents a full Virtuous Treaty combo, it compensates for its slow speed while still leveraging its high damage output.
