These armless masters of projectile cutlery have overcome the loss of their arms and learned to throw knives with their feet. Their aim is deadly, but this can prove to be an advantage if you have some place far across you needed to get to--blades make excellent swinging bars. There have been rumors that the throwers haven’t had their tentanus shots as of late, though, so be careful when touching those things. It would just suck if you beat the game only to get sick and die. Then we’d lose a customer.

Old Psychopedia description

The Knife Thrower is an enemy found only in the Meat Circus. They appear as sword swallowers without any arms. Because of this, they use their feet for grabbing objects.

Gameplay[]

The sword swallowers regurgitate swords, and try to hit Razputin. They are unable to be killed, but they can be shortly immobilized if hit by a PSI Blast, or if lit by Pyrokinesis. In some versions of Psychonauts, Razputin must wait for the knives to be thrown to the correct rotating cylinder to progress. In other versions of the game, knives are already on the cylinders so he can immediately progress.

Trivia[]

  • If Clairvoyance is used on them it is revealed they see Raz as a target.
  • The Knife Thrower has a similar skin-tone and style of dress to Raz and his family. This could imply the Knife Thrower enemy is based on a circus performer Raz may know personally.
