The sword breaker can be upgraded into the [[Soul breaker]] by combining it with one [[Life Bracer]] and one [[Spirit Bracer]]. The new dirk will have an attack bonus of +87, and the same chance to reduce a foe's strength.

The Sword breaker can be bought in Phnom Nonh for 5,500 gold and sold for 2,750 gold. It has a 8% percent chance to lower an enemy's attack power initially. [[Erik]] and [[Sylvando]] can equip it.

The sword breaker refers to a class of parrying daggers that is notable for having deep serrations along the shaft of the blade. Though it is unknown if the daggers were indeed capable of breaking swords, the comb-like serrations allowed a man on defense to lock his opponent's weapon in a tight bind.
