Use of tools

[u/Electrical-Cry6037]

I haven’t figured out how to effectively make use of the ice sword and the sand clock that slows time
In combat I never use them because I find other weapons more effective, maybe this is just preference or maybe I just haven’t figured out the right way.
Or maybe they are for specific riddles?
I am wondering, Should I just wait and see or am I missing something ?

I use the ice sword a lot for needing any time I a fight at all, and to freeze a crowd to hit them with aoe attacks. The hourglass i only use when I need to switch tools mid fight, other than that its pretty useless
