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 fans of Square Enix: 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 is located within the factory area, but not during the game's initial sequence. You'll need to progress the story until you return as 2B. Alternatively, utilize Chapter Select and jump directly to Chapter 9 for quicker access. Begin at the Factory: Hanger access point.

Exiting the access point room, 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. After crossing the press-laden belt, jump to the next cylindrical area, where spider-like enemies will appear.

Enter the door to your left, climbing more stairs while dodging falling explosive enemies. Midway, the railing ends, and the platform extends towards the camera. Proceed to trigger a 2D platforming segment, jumping across presses to the left. The final room holds three chests; the Engine Blade is in the leftmost chest, with a locked chest on the right.

Note: More explosive enemies will drop from the ceiling as you approach the chest.
