{{quote|A Shredder or a Boomer is a powerful weapon, but it kills acyclically. You see? It sends out harm and it takes nothing back. The bolt passes away into nothing. A sword, though, a sword is like a bridge, a crossing-point. The sword binds wielder to victim. It binds life to death. And when the binding is done—the sword remembers. When the Boomer's fire has burnt away into axion and neutrino scatter, the sword goes on, hungrier and sharper.|[[Toland, the Shattered]]}} | {{quote|A Shredder or a Boomer is a powerful weapon, but it kills acyclically.

During the story mission the [[Sword of Crota]], the player picks up a Cleaver that belonged to Crota. This weapon is said to consume the Light of Guardians, but does not adversely affect the player during the mission. The player then has to use it to defeat the three [[Swarm Princes]], after which the sword disintegrates and the mission ends. | During the story mission the [[Sword of Crota]], the player picks up a Cleaver that belonged to Crota.

As part of the Dark Below, a special Knight called the [[Blade of Crota]] will sometimes appear on [[Earth]] or on the [[Moon]]. Killing this knight will drop an Ascendant sword, which functions very much like the Sword of Crota, except that it will break after about 30 seconds. Four swords also appear in the [[Quest]] [[Ritual of Sacrifice]]. In [[Crota's End]], the Ascendant sword is dropped by Swordbearers, and is the only way to kill Gatekeepers and Crota.<ref name="Ascendant" /> | As part of the Dark Below, a special Knight called the [[Blade of Crota]] will sometimes appear on [[Earth]] or on the [[Moon]].

{{quote|Let me tell you why you should not fear Willbreaker, the sword of Oryx. Firstly: Its blade is not dulled by age. Each death it trades for life hones its edge, gives it weight and gravitas and insistence within the vortex of its own totality. Nextly: Willbreaker transcends liminality. Willbreaker demands a subjugation more diffuse than the simple snick and smash of a physical brink. It does not have to touch you to wound you. And lastly—and this is critical: To be taken in Willbreaker's grasp is to know true bliss; that is, to be simplified; that is, to be reduced to one's most basic level, shedding all higher-order thoughts of fear or duty or selfishness; that is, to feel only pain. Now do you see? Now do you understand what you've done?|Toland, the Shattered}} | {{quote|Let me tell you why you should not fear Willbreaker, the sword of Oryx.
