The Sword is a secret item in the Karamari Hospital DLC that can be unlocked in New Game+. The sword is a weapon used to damage or kill Monsters, The Virus or the Scare Chair's shadow.

Obtaining the Sword

The sword can be seen in a painting, within the office containing the entrance to the basement. To pick it up, press E while looking at the painting. The sword will permanently replace the Axe.

Usage

The sword works identically to the axe; with the exception that it kills The Virus, Monster 1, Monster 2, Monster 3 (temporarily), Monster 4, Monster 5, and Scare Chair's shadow. Successfully killing all monsters will trigger an alternate ending in Karamari Hospital.

Trivia

• The Virus can only be killed once the player turns the power off.
• Monster 3 is the only monster that can re-appear after being killed.
• When the silhouette appears on the Scare Chair, the player can destroy it with the sword and sit down again.
  • However, if the player sits again, they will be trapped and die after a few seconds.
• When the player kills Monster 2, they will be immediately teleported out of its trap room.
• Monster 6 is the only enemy which cannot be killed with the sword.
• The Sword is not available in Endless Mode in the original game.

Appearance

It now has a 3D model and a black aura can be seen surrounding the sword when it is held.

Gameplay

The sword's mechanics in HD Renovation were updated to match those of the axe, as well as being given some of its own changes. This means:

• The sword requires the Use button (left mouse by default) to be held for a brief period to "prime" the sword before swinging it, meaning it cannot be swung as fast.
• Priming the sword and swinging it both deplete about 1/10 of the stamina bar, meaning a full sword swipe now depletes twice as much stamina as before.
• The sword can no longer be used if the player does not have enough stamina, and an acoustic guitar sound will instead play if they attempt to use it.
• The player will not be teleported out of Monster 2's room.
• Monster 3 no longer reappears in a different room in Karamari Hospital when killed with the sword.

Additionally, if Karamari Hospital is completed, the sword can be found in Endless Mode, where it can be seen lying on a surgical instrument table outside the mansion's entrance. In Endless mode, the sword and axe affect the same enemies, meaning Monster 2 cannot be killed in this mode.
