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 to the game, but one stands out for Square Enix fans: Noctis's Engine Blade from Final Fantasy XV. This guide details its location and key stats, accessible during your first playthrough.

Where To Find The Engine Blade In NieR: Automata

The Engine Blade awaits within the factory, but not during the game's initial sequence. You'll need to progress as 2B and revisit the area. Chapter Select (Chapter 9) offers a shortcut. Begin at the Factory: Hanger access point.

Exiting the access point, take the right path (2D camera perspective). Pass a fenced area, ascend broken stairs, and navigate conveyor belts with moving boxes and potentially lethal presses. Jump to the next cylinder, evading spider-like enemies.

Enter the door to your left, climbing stairs while dodging exploding enemies. A railing ends midway; the platform extends towards the camera. Shift the camera angle to initiate another 2D platforming section, traversing above presses to the left. The final room contains three chests; the Engine Blade is in the leftmost chest.

Caution: Exploding enemies will descend from the ceiling as you approach.
