[[File:300px-BladeofOlympus 6980.jpg|link=God of War (series)|frame|[[Infinity+1 Sword|The Blade of Olympus. Ended the Great War between the Titans and the Gods]]. [[Schmuck Bait|Now Zeus is giving it to you for some reason]].]]
The hero has [[Cool Sword|a kick-ass sword]], [[Ancestral Weapon|perhaps one he inherited]]. It's probably unbreakable and can cut through anything. It also has a [[I Call It Vera|cool name]] which is likely [[Meaningful Name|meaningful]]. And it seems like everyone in the whole world wants to get their hands on it.

== Anime and Manga ==
*
* In ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', Meta Knight's sword, Galaxia.
== Comic Books ==
* This was the main plot in the album ''Doodsbrenger'' (deathbringer) of ''De Rode Ridder'' (the red knight), a Belgian Flemish comic book series. A villain gets his hands on the titular ''Deathbringer'', a sword forged by the old Norse gods. It makes him unbeatable in combat, and the Red Knight is tasked with finding a solution. The solution? {{spoiler|Find a legendary smith, have him forge an equally awesome sword, and use this to defeat the villain. Of course that means there are now two of these swords in the world... This was solved by [[Heroic Sacrifice]].}}
== Fan Works ==
* In chapter 12 of ''[[Drunkard's Walk]] II'', Wetter Hexe idly notes that her daggers "were forged for me by Hephaestus from mithril mined by the Svartalfar, breathed upon by Indra and blessed by Marduk." Played with in that Hexe herself is an [[Physical God|incarnate goddess]], and would be expected to wield god-forged weapons.
** The [[Magic Staff]] Doug acquires in ''Drunkard's Walk V'' is, according to a being who intimates that he is Odin and/or the Abrahamic God, a small-scale prototype for a weapon built jointly by Heaven and Hell to be used against undefined Celestial-level "third parties". He explicitly describes it as being "forged", despite it being made of wood from [[World Tree|Yggdrasil]]. (When Doug calls him on that, he's told, "Don't be so literal, son.")
