The '''iron axe''' is a recurring weapon in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Introduced in the original game, it is a mid-level weapon typically restricted to more physically-oriented characters.

==Characteristics==
The iron axe is the first [[Axe Weapon Family|axe]] in the series to be used as a weapon. It is a simple tool for woodcutting, but can be a deadly weapon in the right hands. The axe consists of a sharpened iron head attached to the top of a wooden handle. The handle has a length of cloth wrapped around it. Although it is described as being heavy and difficult to wield, it has no actual bearing on gameplay. It was originally depicted as a small hand axe, but after ''Dragon Quest VIII'', the iron axe now has a long enough handle to be wielded with two hands.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ}}===
In the original NES version, it was known as the ''Hand Axe''. Due to text restrictions in the Game Boy Color remake of {{DQ}}, the iron axe was simply known as ''Iron'' with a symbol of an axe next to it.

===''[[Dragon Quest III]]''===
The iron axe has an attack bonus of +38. However, when it is equipped by martial artists, it actually decreases their attack by 20. It can be equipped by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|Hero]], [[Warrior]]s, [[Martial Artist]]s, [[Merchant]]s, and [[Gadabout]]s. It can be purchased at [[Asham]], [[Isis]], and [[Portoga]] for 2,500 gold.

===''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''===
The iron axe has an attack bonus of +38 and a style bonus of +6. It can be equipped by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VII)|Hero]], [[Kiefer]], [[Ruff]], and [[Aishe]]. It is one of the few weapons that does not decrease Ruff's attack when equipped. The iron axe can be purchased at [[Alltrades Abbey (Dragon Quest VII)|Alltrades Abbey]] for 2,500 gold and sold for 1,250 gold. Iron axes can also be won as prizes from the Lucky Panel at the [[Casino]] near Alltrades Abbey. One can also acquire an iron axe early in the game if dropped by an [[automaton]].

===''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''===
The iron axe has an attack bonus of +38. It can only be equipped by [[Yangus]]. The iron axe appears to be the signature weapon of Yangus, as he is depicted in many pieces of official art wielding it. He is seen with an iron axe in the flashback that takes place before the game begins, but appears to have dropped it in the river. It can be purchased at [[Pickham]] for 2,600 gold and sold for 1,300.

===''[[Dragon Quest IX]]''===
The iron axe grants an attack bonus of +30 and can be purchased in [[Port Llaffan]]. Being the first axe available in shops, it is not impressive, but can be upgraded along two paths (Iron Axe > [[Steel Axe]] > [[Gigasteel Axe]], or Iron Axe > [[Golden Axe]] > [[King Axe]] > [[Kaiser Axe]] > [[Ice Axe]] > [[Avalanche Axe]]), making it one of the most upgradeable items in the game.

===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker]]''===

===''[[Dragon Quest Builders 2]]''===
The iron axe is one of several weapons that are exclusively used by [[Malroth]], it boosts his attack by +56. It can be crafted from 3 iron ingots and 1 unit of wood at an anvil.

The '''oaken club''' is a recurring weapon in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Highly crude, it is not very powerful and is often one of the first weapons found in a game.

==Characteristics==
The oaken club is a primitive weapon that appears to have been carved roughly out of a tree trunk and has cloth wrapped around the handle for ease of use. In the instruction manuals for the Famicom versions of the original ''Dragon Quest'' and ''Dragon Quest II'', the oaken club was depicted as having numerous nails sticking out of it. They appear to be the favored weapons of many monsters, such as [[Troll]]s and [[Cyclops|Cyclopes]].

'''Hela's Hammer''' is a recurring weapon in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|''Dragon Quest'']] franchise. The hammer is so hefty that it has poor accuracy, but will always land a critical hit when it does connect with a monster, making it ideal to hunt [[Metal slime|metal slimes]] with.
Unless noted below, the hammer reduces accuracy to {{Fraction|3|8}}ths (37.5%).

==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''===
Hela's hammer has an attack bonus of +70... but it is [[cursed]] and is glued to the weilder's hand until a priest removes it. It's found in the [[Colossus]] and can be equipped by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Hero]], [[Ragnar]], and [[Psaro]].

===''[[Dragon Quest IX]]''===
Hela's hammer is only found in rank D blue grotto chests and cannot be bought, but it can be sold for 12,700 gold. It has an attack bonus of +132 and a two star rarity. [[Hell's gatekeeper|Hell's gatekeepers]] drops them on rare occasions and they are also found in chests in rank 6 [[Grotto|grottos]] one percent of the time.

Malroth

2019-07-18T16:04:09Z

71.53.217.227: Binged DQB2's story mode and felt like adding info. Apologies in advance if I formatted this stuff wrong. Feel free to trim, I tend to write too much

{{Character
|Name=Malroth

'''Malroth''', known as '''Sidoh''' (シドー ''Shidō'') in Japanese, is a God of Destruction that [[Hargon]] summons after his defeat - the final enemy faced in ''[[Dragon Quest II]]'', and is a recurring enemy in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Also known as 'The Destroyer', he hungers for the eradication of all things. Malroth is not mentioned until this point except for his eye which is found in a cave and is needed to uncover the [[Cave to Rendarak]]. Malroth can use the spell of [[Fullheal]] in his original appearance, leading to infamy amongst fans and adding to the already considerable challenge of ''DQII''.

==Characteristics==
Malroth is a large, chimeric abomination covered mostly in blue scales (green in the original NES ''Dragon Quest II'') and wearing only a necklace with a skull on it. He has six limbs, four of which appear to be arms, a massive pair of wings and a serpent for a tail. His mouth is always shown as being a wide-opened grin, fangs clearly visible.

Being a god of destruction, Malroth is immensely powerful and more than capable of living up to his title. In all of his appearances Malroth has almost never spoken, preferring annihilation over conversation. At the start of the game, Malroth is only alluded to and rarely by his name. All that is first hinted to is his penchant for destruction and the fact that [[Hargon]] threatens all of [[Alefgard]] by trying to summon him.

The player's party does not come face-to-face with the mighty demon until after Hargon is slain. When the party tries to move away from Hargon's throne their path will be blocked by flames and the floor will begin to break apart, heralding Malroth's return. Though successful in defeating Hargon, the sorcerer summoned the god of destruction in death, leaving the heroes to contend with him in the final battle of the game.

===Personality===
In the vast majority of his appearances Malroth has little discernible personality outside of his desire for destruction. The major exception to this is his amnesiac humanoid appearance in ''[[Dragon Quest Builders 2]]'', where he is one of the game's main characters.

In his human state he has no inkling of his true nature as the Master of Destruction. He has a somewhat violent disposition, which escalates as the Builder's adventure progresses, causing others to fear him. He also has a somewhat morbid personality, which is evident even upon his first meeting with the [[Builder (Dragon Quest Builders 2)|Builder]] where he is excited to get a closer look at the dead bodies littering the beach. He tends to feel at home in dark subterranean places and shrines dedicated to Hargon and the Master of Destruction, though he is unable to place why he feels so.

Malroth demonstrates a lack of knowledge on many basic concepts such as "love" and "parties", being confused by Bab's many admirers at [[Khrumbul-Dun]], and the small party [[Lulu]] arranges for him and the Builder on the [[Isle of Awakening]]. Malroth also is lacking in understanding of typical social graces and is often prone to outbursts and bluntness, leading to some humorous exchanges and later arguments. He develops a habit of using a high-five with the Builder as a celebratory gesture, but he is unsure of what inspired him to start doing so. He develops a friendship with the Builder over the course of their adventure. {{spoiler|start}}His attachment to the Builder lasts even after [[Hargon]] forces him to attain his true form, though the great dissonance between his sentimentality and desire for destruction causes him to split into two entities, his human avatar which retains these traits, and his unrestrained true form which retains its single-minded directive for destruction.{{spoiler|end}}

===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters]]''===
Malroth (Sidoh at the time) is one of the many boss characters players can breed to obtain. He also appears as the boss of the Gate of Demolition, though only on the second time through: players must first defeat Hargon and then go through the gate again to confront Malroth, whose presence is noted by [[Watabou]] when Hargon is defeated. It is interesting to note that this is the only time Malroth speaks in person, talking with pauses between words and occasionally syllables.

===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters 2]]''===
Malroth (Sidoh at the time) is present. Additionally, like several other boss characters, he was given an additional form called '''Genosidoh''', a far more fearsome looking form than that of his original.

===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker]]''===

<center>''A god of destruction who plans to usher death unto all living beings.''</center>

Malroth is present as a rank S member of the Demon family and is integral to synthesizing some of the most powerful monsters in the game, being needed to synthesize [[Zoma]] and [[Nimzo]]. Malroth himself can be synthesized by using a [[Living Statue]] and a [[Demon-at-arms]], though other combinations exist.

===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2]]''===
Malroth can be synthesized by combining a [[Buffalogre|buffalogre]] with [[Hargon]].

Malroth appears as a [[Legacy Boss]], obtained after completing [[List of quests in Dragon Quest IX#Quest #151 - #152|Quest #151]] (or received at special events). He will become [[enraged]] once his health drops to orange range.

===''[[Dragon Quest Builders 2]]''===
Malroth is a major character appearing in ''Dragon Quest Builders 2''. He accompanies the player as a helpful NPC for the majority of the game.

Malroth initially appears as an amnesiac humanoid, differing from true humans by his elongated pointed ears and bright red eyes, on the [[Isle of Awakening]]. Malroth decides to accompany the Builder after being intrigued by the Builder's power to create items and materials, an ability he distinctly lacks. During the course of his adventure with the Builder a friendship starts to form between the two. He also begins to hear an unidentified voice in his head attempting to guide his actions, similarly to how the Builder in ''[[Dragon Quest Builders]]'' heard the voice of [[Rubiss]].
{{spoiler|start}}
Malroth grows more powerful the more the Builder creates. He begins getting intense destructive urges with his growth, causing him increasing distress, as he does not know the source of these desires. As his power swells, the voice in his head becomes progressively more active; its suggestions begin taking darker and darker tinges. Malroth is initially only mildly annoyed, but becomes increasingly concerned by being called the "Master of Destruction" and suggestions of murdering the Builder. Despite the increasing severity, he attempts to keep the incidents with the voice in his head mostly to himself, though he makes the Builder promise to stop him if he changes for the worse.

Troubled by being unable to create, he begins valuing himself purely on his ability to destroy objects and defeat monsters to help the Builder. This attitude on his self-worth eventually festers and twists into resentment when the Builder starts constructing traps and other devices that he thinks he is being replaced with. This festering, and the fact that his desire for destruction grows as the Builder builds, is what allows [[Hargon]], the owner of the voice Malroth had been hearing in his thoughts, to override the personality his human form has developed and begin his transformation into his true form as the Lord and Master of Destruction.

Hargon also reveals the world that the Builder and Malroth have been exploring is nothing but the lingering illusion created by himself; even Hargon himself is surprised that the illusory world has persisted after his death in the real one.

Malroth's sentimentality for the Builder remains even after he attains his true form; this is demonstrated when he intentionally avoids destroying the first item the Builder ever made for him: a simple [[Oaken Club]]. Despite his threatening speech, wherein he says that he will devour the Builder as a "reward" for the happy memories they shared, he, literally using one set of arms to restrain the other, holds himself back during the battle. Upon his defeat he comments that the Builder is much stronger than the last time they were together and is happy that the Builder's promise to stop him if he changed for the worse was kept. His high-fiving habit proves strong enough that he even raises a shaking claw to receive a high-five from the Builder after being defeated.

Malroth splits into two entities after said high-five. The humanoid Malroth, with his memories and sentimentality, is ripped from the rest of him, allowing the destruction-seeking Malroth to arise at full power unrestrained. After the Master of Destruction leaves, the humanoid Malroth is left with an injured Builder. Out of desperation, he repeatedly attempts to concoct medicinal herbs and is eventually successful, marking his first act of creation. Malroth then assists the Builder in defeating Hargon his other half, Malroth then re-absorbs the power said half took from him. Using his newfound godlike powers, he transforms Hargon's world of illusions into a real world to prevent it from fading away. Upon completion of stabilizing the world, Malroth appears to revert to a mostly powerless state and stays with the Builder on Awakening Isle.{{spoiler|end}}

==Trivia==
* Malroth appears to be inspired by Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction and one of the three principle deities of Hinduism. Shiva is commonly depicted as having blue skin and multiple arms and is known as the Destroyer. However, Shiva is also known as the Creator as well, as new creation couldn't take place without first having destruction.

* It is speculated that the gauntlet of bosses in Hargon's castle (Atlas, Pazuzu, Belial) were, worst case scenario, at least meant to stall the heroes while Hargon performed the ritual to summon Malroth. Since Hargon was defeated before the ritual was finished, he sacrificed what little life he had left as a last ditch effort to summon the God of Destruction. This raises the question of how more powerful Malroth's avatar would be if the ritual was completed properly.
