The Shadow Sword is a Sword that debuted in Fire Emblem Gaiden.

Overview

This sword appears exclusively in Fire Emblem Gaiden and Fire Emblem: Thracia 776.

In the latter game, this sword is passed into Mareeta's hands by Raydrik, where the corrupted sword essentially takes control of her mind, compelling her to attack anyone at sight, be they friend or foe. The curse is later purged by Saias, whereupon the now-neutralised blade is returned to Mareeta, functioning as a unique weapon that is bound exclusively to her.

Trivia

  • The Shadow Sword's design in Heroes is based on the Mareeta's Sword's appearance in it's official artwork. This is because both weapons are one and the same in Thracia 776.
