'''Kathwack''' ~~(originally '''DefeatMax''')~~ is a recurring spell in the ~~''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest Series]]''~~. It attempts to kill all enemies outright.

'''Kathwack''' is a recurring spell in the {{DQSeries}}.

It attempts to kill all enemies outright with a macabre incantation, and is the ultimate form of [[Whack]] and [[Thwack]].

==Appearances==

===''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''===

==={{DQ4}} remakes===

~~Absent from~~ the ~~original~~, it is learned by [[~~Psaro (Character)|Psaro~~]] at ~~level 42 in~~ the ~~remakes~~

Kathwack is learned by the {{Psaro 9}} at Level 42.

==={{DQ5}}===

[[Conkjurer]]s try to use this spell in battle but always fail due to lack of {{MP}}.

==={{DQ6}}===

Kathwack is learned by mastering the [[Sage]] vocation, and costs 15 {{MP}}.

[[Dogmus]] also casts it.

==={{DQ7}}===

A variety of vocations teach Kathwack: [[Druid]] at rank 2, [[Black bishop (vocation)|Black bishops]] at rank 4, and rank 6 of the [[Bone baron (vocation)|Bone baron]]. It costs 15 {{MP}} to cast, as usual.

It can be cast by the enemies [[Conkjurer]], [[Infernal kernel]], [[Dark decanter]], and [[Hirsute hexer (Dragon Quest VII)|Hirsute hexer]], although [[Conkjurer]]s lack the {{MP}} to cast it.

==={{DQ8}}===

[[Angelo]] can acquire the spell by investing 56 points into his {{Staff}} skill and costs 15 {{MP}}.

It can be cast by the enemies [[Unholy bishop]], [[Trap Box in Memoriam]], and [[Marcello in Memoriam]].

==={{DQ9}}===

Kathwack is learned by [[Priest]]s at Level 55, and costs 20 {{MP}} to cast. As with the other [[Whack]] spells, it's potency is reliant on the [[Priest]]'s {{Magical Mending}}, raising the base accuracy from 75% at 200 to 100% at 799.

===~~''[[Dragon Quest VI]]''~~===

==={{DQ10}}===

Kathwack is ~~learned~~ by ~~mastering the [[Sage]] vocation~~.

Kathwack is a spell exclusively used by {{MFamilies}}s, and it costs 20 {{MP}}.

===''[[~~Dragon Quest VII~~]]~~''===~~

==={{DQ11}}===

{{Serena 11}} learns Kathwack at level 63, and it costs 20 {{MP}} with a 75% base accuracy against non-resistant monsters. As it cannot be learned by [[Rab]] and Serena has zero {{Magical Might}} growth period, the benchmarks for the spell are among the lowest in the game: Kathwack will rise to 85% accuracy at just 200 Magical Might.

===''[[Dragon Quest ~~VIII~~]]~~''===~~

==={{Dragon Quest Heroes}} & {{Dragon Quest Heroes II}}===

[[~~Angelo~~]] ~~can acquire the spell by investing 56 points into his Staff skill~~.

Kathwack appears as [[Kiryl]]'s [[Coup de Grâce]], carrying over from {{DQMBR}}. After trying and failing to cast [[Thwack]] multiple times, [[Kiryl]] becomes annoyed and stomps on the text windows in frustration, before casting a souped-up version of Kathwack, which annihilates groups of enemies with waves of darkness. This version of Kathwack causes damage, rather than instant death. This references [[Kiryl]]'s AI in the {{NES}} version of {{Dragon Quest IV}}, where [[Kiryl]] would infamously cast the [[Whack]] and [[Thwack]] spells constantly against boss {{MFamilies}}s to no effect.

===~~''[[Dragon Quest IX]]''~~===

==Other Languages==

~~Kathwack is learned by [[priest]]s at level 55. It costs 20 MP to cast.~~
