The '''liquid metal sword''' is a powerful recurring weapon in the {{DQSeries}}. It is often one of the strongest weapons in the game and boasts the ability to deal damage to [[Metal slime family|metal slime]]s. It features an emblem of a [[liquid metal slime]] on its crossguard, and in certain titles is a stand alone weapon while in others it is the direct upgrade of the [[metal slime sword]].

==Appearances==
==={{DQ4}}===
The liquid metal sword has an attack bonus of +130 and cannot be sold. It can be equipped by the {{Hero 4}}, [[Ragnar]], [[Kiryl]], [[Torneko]], [[Meena]], and [[Psaro (Character)|Psaro]]. It can be found in [[Cascade Cave]], but only after retrieving the [[karstaway stone]] in [[Dunplundrin]]. In the NES version, it is the most powerful weapon in the game.

==={{DQ8}}===
The liquid metal sword has an attack bonus of +118 and can be sold for 5,000 [[gold]] coins. It can be equipped by the {{Hero 8}}, [[Angelo]], and [[Jessica]] if she has enough skill points in her Knives skill to equip swords, as well as [[Red]] in the 3DS version. It's guaranteed to inflict 1~2 damage on metal monsters and can mix with the [[dragovian sword]] to make the [[dragovian king sword]] in the [[Alchemy Pot]].
