Broken Iron (鉄塊 Tekkai, "Lump of Iron"), also known as Hymir's Finger in Drakengard, is a recurring weapon in the Drakengard series. It appears as an oversized iron sword, usually with a blade as long as its wielder's height, that becomes heavier as it is stained with blood.
The Broken Iron is modeled after the Dragon Slayer, a sword featured in the manga Berserk and wielded by its protagonist Guts, whom Drakengard protagonist Caim was based on.[1] It also appears in the Nier games, under the name Iron Will.

Weapon Story[]
Level 1[]
What was once hailed as the largest blade in the world, striking fear into the hearts of men, now bore no trace of its former glory. Only a shattered heap of iron remained.
Level 2[]
Back when this heap was still a sword, its owner had tried to fuse it with unimaginable variety of objects. His mania for modifying the weapon had seen its titanic form incorporate armor, other swords and even the bones of the dead. Mighty though it already was, he was obsessed by the idea that it could be made yet stronger.
Level 3[]
The blade slowly began to change color, turning crimson towards its edge. The gradation seemed to symbolize its place on the boundary between this world and the next. Certainly, it had been the difference between life and death to many a friend and foe in the past. But when its owner tried to fuse it with a baby, its blade finally shattered.
Level 4[]
Discarded as a failed experiment, the sword longed for the days, when it had terrified men with its fearsome form... So it searched for an owner who could forge its blade afresh.
