The '''Demonsbane''' is a recurring weapon in the {{DQSeries}} that appears as both a katana and a [[Greatsword (weapon type)|greatsword]]. Regardless of which design is use in a game, the sword deals more damage to members of the [[Demon family]].

==Localization history==
The katana that appears in the 3DS port of Dragon Quest VIII has a different Japanese name than the two-handed sword that appears in X and XI, explaining the differences in its design between games. The katana's Japanese name is ''退魔の太刀'', which was localized first as Demonsbane due to the effect mirroring the [[Dragonsbane]] and [[Zombiesbane]]. For the localization of the eleventh game that weapon was dubbed the [[Banishing blade]], and ''デーモンバスター'' became the demonsbane in English.

The demonsbane has an attack bonus of +116, inflicts 1.3 times damage on Demons, and can only be equipped by [[Angelo]]. It is obtained from Cameron Obscura after completing the [[Cameron's Codex|Boss Troll Stamp Card]]. The demonsbane has replaced the [[Shamshir of light]] as Angelo's most powerful sword unique to him.
