* In ''[[Twilight Princess|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]'', the miniboss Darknut throws his sword (or mace) at Link after losing his armor, then subverts it by drawing a rapier that is more fitting for the more agile fighting style he adapts afterwards. It's also subverted by the throw not being a particularly effective attack, as Link can easily jump out of the way or even just block it with his shield. Although if you allow it to make contact (or just fumble your evasion), it still ''fucking hurts''.
* Near the end of the Prologue of ''The Witcher'', Geralt throws the rusty training sword he's been using at the Professor as the latter escapes through a portal after {{spoiler|killing Leo and stealing the secrets of witcher mutations.}} This trope is averted as the portal closes before Geralt's sword reaches it, letting the Professor escape alive.
* In ''[[Baldur's Gate]] 2'', a [[Large Ham]] will show up fairly early, spout something about his unbeatable technique, then lob a scimitar at you. When it fails to do any significant damage, he reacts with incredulity at the failure and escapes. The whole thing is just [[
** To be precise, it deals no damage as your character catches it and it temporarily replaces your weapon for several rounds before dropping off. That character also appears later in a certain priest's house and throws money at you (which ''does'' do damage, if very little). The priest even lampshades that the fellow is quite odd.
* In ''[[Homestar Runner|Peasentquest]]'' the only way to get 100% completion is to throw your sword at Trogdor the Burninator while he's sleeping (approaching him simply wakes him up). {{spoiler|It connects, but he's invincible and simply [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog|kills you anyway]].}}
