Learn about the sword in Thief: The Dark Project, including its attacks, damage, and when Constantine's Sword replaces it after Mission 5.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Your sword performs three types of attacks: a left cut, a right cut, and an overhead smashing blow.
  2. 2
    To execute the smashing blow, hold the attack button without releasing it for a short time.
  3. 3
    The smashing blow takes longer to deliver but deals more damage than the simple cuts.
  4. 4
    When an enemy is unaware of your presence (not expecting an attack), your sword deals increased damage, usually resulting in a one-hit kill.
  5. 5
    Use your sword to cut down banners, which may conceal secret areas.
Tips
  • Hold the attack button to charge up the smashing blow for maximum damage.
  • Exploit enemy unawareness for critical hits with your sword.
  • Banners can hide secrets; use your sword to reveal them.
