In the expansive world of NieR: Automata, players have a vast selection of weapons at their disposal, from the quirky Iron Pipe to the formidable Type-40 Blade. Among these, there's a special treat for fans of Square Enix: Noctis' iconic Engine Blade from Final Fantasy 15. This weapon can be acquired during your initial playthrough of NieR: Automata. Let's dive into where you can find it and explore its basic stats.

Where To Find The Engine Blade In NieR: Automata

To locate the Engine Blade, you'll need to visit the factory, but it's not available during the game's intro. You must return as 2B later in the game, and you can find it at any point after that. For a quicker approach, use Chapter Select mode to jump directly to Chapter 9. Start or fast travel to the Factory: Hanger access point, located within the factory.

From the access point, exit the room and take the right path, which shifts to a 2D camera angle. You'll pass a fenced area, then ascend broken stairs to reach a conveyor belt with boxes. Be cautious on the next conveyor belt as presses will activate, posing a lethal threat if you're caught beneath them. Navigate across this belt to reach a cylinder where you'll encounter two spider-like enemies.

Proceed through the left door, climbing more stairs while facing descending explosive enemies. Midway, you'll notice a section where the railing ends and the platform extends toward the camera. Move forward to trigger a camera angle change, leading to another 2D platforming segment. Jump along the tops of the presses, following the path to the left. At the end, you'll enter a room with three chests. The Engine Blade is in the leftmost chest, while a locked chest sits to the right.

Be alert, as more explosive enemies will descend from the ceiling as you approach the chests.

The Engine Blade offers the potential for four upgrades, ultimately enhancing its light combo to 7 attacks. To achieve these upgrades, you'll need to find the Masamune. This weapon boasts a relatively low damage spread compared to the Iron Pipe, making it an excellent choice for players seeking a more predictable damage output.
