Quick Links

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 weapon might feel familiar to Square Enix fans.

Noctis's Engine Blade from Final Fantasy XV makes an appearance during your first playthrough. Here's a guide to its location and key stats.

Where To Find The Engine Blade In NieR: Automata

The Engine Blade is located within the factory area, but not accessible during the game's opening sequence. You'll need to revisit the location as 2B. Chapter Select (Chapter 9) offers a quick route to acquire it. Begin at the Factory: Hanger access point.

Exiting the access point, follow the right path (2D camera perspective). Pass a fenced area, climb the broken stairs, and navigate the conveyor belt with boxes. The next belt features deadly presses; carefully avoid them. Jump to the cylinder with two spider-like enemies.

Enter the door to your left, ascending stairs while evading exploding enemies. Midway, the railing ends, and the platform extends. Move forward to shift the camera angle, triggering another 2D platforming section. Jump across the presses, following the path left. The final room contains three chests; the Engine Blade is in the left chest.

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

Engine Blade Stats In NieR: Automata

- Attack: 160-200

  • Combo: Lt 5 Hv 3

This weapon allows four upgrades, eventually reaching a light combo of 7 attacks (requires finding Masamune). Unlike the Iron Pipe, its damage output is more consistent, providing better damage predictability.
