The '''Venus' tear''' is a recurring item in the {{DQSeries}}. It is a beautiful blue gemstone in the shape of a goddess's teardrop.

When it first appeared in {{DQ8}}, it was an important key item, but it became an accessory in later games in the series with differing effects.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ8}}===
The jewel is found in the [[Swordsman's Labyrinth]] and obtainable only by defeating the [[Trap box]].
{{Descriptions

====Story====
In the past, [[Yangus]] himself promised to obtain the Venus' Tear in hopes of impressing his fellow thief and friend, [[Red]].  Though he originally feared the Labyrinth and was unsuccessful in obtaining the gem, he found himself following through on his promise as part of the {{Hero 8}}'s {{Party 8}} when their friend [[Medea]] (trapped in the form of a horse) was obtained by [[Red]] through a series of events in [[Pickham]].

The {{Party 8}} succeeded in retrieving the gem, and presented it to [[Red]] to rescue [[Medea]].

If you get the gem before visiting [[Red]], [[Yangus]] and the {{Party 8}} will not present her with it until you leave [[Red's Den]] and return to it.  Storywise, Yangus explains to the {{Party 8}} that in order for them to get [[Medea]] back, [[Red]] must believe that they obtained the gem for her benefit rather than lucking upon it.
