The Water Sword is one of the numerous special weapons hidden within the confines of the video game Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. The Water Sword is the most powerful sword in the entire game, and one of the most powerful weapons in the series, capable of killing most enemies with one hit and capable of harming the Dahaka.

This weapon has special power because it is based on water that allow the player to fight and hopefully kill the Dahaka who is vulnerable to water, as are all creatures created by the sands of time. This allows players to face the Dahaka and not the Empress of Time at the end of the game, unlocking a second ending which is actually the true canonical ending of the game.

To acquire this powerful sword, the player has to find all nine of the secret life upgrades hidden randomly about the Island of Time. If the player accomplishes this task, the sword will appear in the entrance to the throne room where the Hourglass is located. The sword helps the rest of the game tremendously, and is very beneficial but difficult to acquire in Hard Mode. To gain all 9 upgrades requires the player to make several detours back in time and location, so the sword cannot be aquired by just playing through the game.
