'''Erdrick's sword''' is a legendary [[Sword (weapon type)|sword]] in the series.

==Characteristics==

Erdrick's sword is the legendary sword originally wielded by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|Hero]] of legend, passed on to their descendants to keep the realm of [[Alefgard]] free from evil. It is a one-handed longsword with a golden fuller and hilt that resembles [[Ramia|a godbird]] in flight, set with a red gemstone. The grip appears to be a blue fabric, and the pommel is gold with a red jewel. It was originally known as the [[Sword of Kings]]. In some of its appearances, Erdrick's sword must be reforged or refined with [[Alchemy]] in order to reach its full potential.

Erdrick's sword has an {{Attack}} bonus of +120 and can be equipped by the {{Hero 8}}, as well as [[Jessica]] and [[Red]] if they have allocated enough skill points into their Knife skill. Its attack power is second only to the [[Dragovian king sword]] and is the strongest sword that both Jessica and Red can equip. In this game, Ye Olde Sword of Erdrick must be mixed in the [[Alchemy Pot]] for the sword to reach its full potential. Japanese players had three different opportunities to receive a code for Ye Olde Sword of Erdrick:

*Entering an item code that came with the first production run of the physical game or as an early purchase bonus for the digital download version.

*Distributed as a limited-time digital gift from June 22nd, 2016 to July 5th, 2016.

*Available for point exchange from the Dragon Quest Portal App from February 1st, 2016 to March 31st, 2022.

Ye Olde Sword of Erdrick also became available to download for international players on February 24th, 2017, but after 2018, all DLC items became unavailable.
