In the seventh episode Gerard finds a sword grasped in the bony hand of a skeleton among the things left in the spiders' web NA E7·00:08:04. Brennan says its blade is almost chrome or mirror-like and incredibly reflective, and that the word "veritas" is inscribed along the fuller by the original smith NA E7·00:08:09 NA E7·00:09:08. Gerard, looking at his reflection in the blade, sees a frog reflected back at him NA E7·00:10:34.

In the seventh episode Gerard waves the sword over a candle that is not lit, and the blade reflects candlelight from it in a flash NA E7·01:24:40 NA E7·01:24:45. Gerard then tosses the sword to Pinocchio, and the candlelight reflecting off the spinning blade falls on the face of the woman in the doorway NA E7·01:35:12 NA E7·01:35:46. When the Stepmother attaches his strings to him, Pinocchio grasps the Sword of Truth and brings it down on the strings, severing them NA E7·01:46:50 NA E7·01:47:37.

In the eighth episode Pinocchio carries the sword, and when he tells Sinbad the truth Brennan describes a chime from the sword at his side NA E8·01:16:17. The sword then sings and names itself Veritas, the Sword of Truth NA E8·01:18:36 NA E8·01:17:12. Pinocchio lets Rosamund hold it, and the sword greets her as a princess pure and true NA E8·01:19:15 NA E8·01:19:18. Later it calls out "Give me back to the wooden boy! He speaks the truth!" NA E8·01:40:37. In the tenth episode Pinocchio pulls the Sword of Truth out of his bag and it asks to be returned to a prince true and fair who wishes to reunite with his six lost brothers NA E10·01:33:35 NA E10·01:33:57. Brennan says it gives a plus one to attack and damage, the True Strike cantrip and blindsight to 10 feet, and Gerard uses it in the fight NA E10·01:35:52 NA E10·01:35:54 NA E10·01:35:58.

In the eleventh episode the sword loudly sings that it is the sword, and a lead dwarf recognizes Veritas, the Sword of Truth, as a thing made by dwarfs NA E11·01:49:01 NA E11·01:49:18. In the twelfth episode Veritas tells the party the hot dog meat is "Technically, donkey!" NA E12·01:28:03 NA E12·01:28:09.

In the eighteenth episode Rapunzel tells Gerard to ask the sword whether Elody still loves him, and Veritas answers "The Princess Elody cares for you deeply" NA E18·00:41:27 NA E18·00:40:23. When Gerard agrees with Rapunzel's insinuation, Brennan says the sword quakes in his hand as though it feels manipulated into hurting him NA E18·00:42:57 NA E18·00:42:59. In the nineteenth episode Gerard tells Elody they "broke up via sword", because the Sword of Truth tells the truth, and in the fight with Rapunzel Brennan tells Gerard he does not have a sword anymore NA E19·00:21:20 NA E19·00:21:32 NA E19·01:36:41.
