NieR: Automata offers a diverse arsenal, from quirky choices like the Iron Pipe to powerful options such as the Type-40 Blade. Many weapons are unique YoRHa designs, but one weapon will feel familiar to Square Enix fans: Noctis's Engine Blade from Final Fantasy XV. This guide details its location and key stats, obtainable during your first playthrough.
Where To Find the Engine Blade in NieR: Automata
The Engine Blade isn't accessible during the game's opening. You'll need to progress as 2B and revisit the factory. Chapter Select (Chapter 9) provides a quicker route. Begin at the Factory: Hanger access point.
Exiting the access point, follow the right path (2D camera perspective). Pass a fenced area, ascend broken stairs, and navigate conveyor belts with moving boxes and potentially crushing presses. After crossing the press-laden belt, climb to a cylindrical area with spider-like enemies.
Enter the door to your left, climbing more stairs while dodging falling explosive enemies. A railing ends midway, with an extending platform. Proceed towards the camera to trigger a 2D platforming section, traversing above presses to the left. The final room contains three chests; the Engine Blade is in the leftmost chest.
Beware: More explosive enemies will drop from the ceiling as you approach.
Engine Blade Stats in NieR: Automata
- Attack: 160-200
- Combo: Light 5, Heavy 3
This weapon allows four upgrades, eventually reaching a Light combo of 7 hits (requires finding Masamune). Unlike the Iron Pipe, its damage range is tighter, offering more predictable damage output.
