"Have you heard of the legendary weapon, the Coral Saber? I heard it washed ashore on Riptide Reef, along with Sealork's body." (Rigger) |
The Coral Saber is a powerful weapon, once created by Gillfolk blacksmiths[1] for Thorne the Brave. He used it to defeat Sealurk in an epic battle. The sword has since then been stuck in the metal body of Sealurk on Riptide Reef. The island can only be accessed with the Trencher Boots.
Description[]
The Coral Saber is more powerful than its predecessors,[2] the Stick and Father's Sword. Once the Kid earns the 'Knight of Arcadia' Adventure Rank, it shoots missiles of light when the Kid's health gauge is full (all hearts are filled).
It is visually very similar to Astroblade, the powerful sword upgrade in Knights of the Lost Realm. Notably the slight yellow metal blade, the rusty-red handle and the three red crystals or metal diamonds embedded into the blade.
History[]
In order to defeat Sealurk, one of the Living Fortresses terrorizing the world after the Catastrophe, Gillfolk blacksmiths venture out and swim into the deepest gorges of the ocean to forge the Coral Saber. It is the biggest undertaking for the Gillfolk and it has been remembered very well.[1] The sword is given to Thorne the Brave, who lures Sealurk to land and embeds the sword deep into its head.[3] Even though he is injured from the battle, he creates trials to assure that the Coral Saber can only be claimed by a true champion of Arcadia.[4][5]
After his death, the sword and the metal body of the Living Fortress remain on Riptide Reef until the Kid appears to claim it.[6] Urged by the Gillfolk to use the Coral Saber against Oceanhorn,[7][2][8] the Kid travels to Riptide Reef, solves the trials and succesfully pulls the Coral Saber from Sealurk's head.
It serves the Kid well and indeed Oceanhorn is finally slain for good.
Trivia[]
- Unlike the most powerful but optional sword of Oceanhorn 2, which is the Astroblade, the Coral Saber is urged to be acquired as part of the main story.[8] It is still possible to proceed to fight Oceanhorn without it.[9]
