After the fight against Jasper in the Heart of Yggdrasil, the sword breaks permanently.


The Sword is needed to progress further in the post-game, as it is the only weapon that can break Jasper's barrier during his fight with in the Heart of Yggdrasil. After this fight, however, the Sword breaks permanently.  
==Trivia==
*The Sword of Shadows has the same [[attack]] stat as the [[Supreme Sword of Light]]. This can possibly be due to the Supreme Sword of Light being strengthened by holy power (and the power of friendship), while the Sword of Shadows is strengthened by darkness.
**The whole basis of its creation is a parallel to the overarching yin/yang theme of the game; its existence shows that light and dark are two sides of the same coin.
*Many characters comment on its unsettling appearance, and how it is much more fitting for a villain rather than a Hero.
