Dream Sword
The Dream Sword is a weapon from Kingdom Hearts.
The Dream Sword is one of the only two possible weapons used only by Sora that can injure the Heartless (the other being the Keyblade). The dream shield and dream rod may also injure Heartless, should the player choose them instead.
The Dream Sword has a small, black Mickey head on it. How the sword relates to Mickey is unknown. Sora obtains the Dream Sword in the Awakening; but only if the player so chooses. The player may choose to use the Dream Sword, to ignore it, or to discard it, then losing it forever. If they accept to use the Dream Sword, then Sora's stats will focus on Strength. If he discards it, then Strength will be the least focused stat. If he ignores it, then Strength will grow normally. If Sora takes the Dream Sword, he loses it upon leaving the Awakening.
The Dream Sword also made an appearance in Kingdom Hearts II, along with other elements from the Awakening that Roxas found in the Station of Awakening. Like Sora, the player may choose to accept the blade or not. However, it turns into the Keyblade if taken.
Trivia
- The Dream Sword is the only item in the Awakening that cannot be obtained later in the game (without modifying the game with a Game Shark).
- The Dream Sword is described in Kingdom Hearts as the Sword of Terrible Destruction. It has not yet been revealed if this is just analogy to the fact that Swords and other weapons are very capable of being extremely destructive.
- Some people believe that the original design for Ultima Weapon could have come from this sword
Dream Sword, later in the game
The Dream Sword is normally only obtainable in the Awakening and can not be found later in the game. However by using a Game Shark to modify the game a player can obtain the Dream Sword (and other dream weapons) later in the game. The Dream Sword can in fact be one of the strongest weapons as its attack is dependent on your current level. It goes up by one attack for every 10 levels you gain. So at level 1 it will have attack one but at level 100 it will have attack 10. This is stronger than the Ultima Weapon, but it has no effect on magic or any secondary abilities. So Ultima Weapon is still more powerful as in increases your magic and the effects of spells such as (the highly useful) Cure, Cura and Curaga.
