The '''Sword of Kings''' is a legendary weapon reserved only for those chosen by the Gods. It would become known as [[Erdrick's Sword]] after the adventure in [[Alefgard]], passed down through the lineage of the legendary Hero as part of his [[Erdrick Equipment|heraldry]].
 
==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
[[Zoma]] feared the sword being used against him and destroyed it prior to the game's events, though it took him three years to do so. A [[Jipang|Jipangese]] blacksmith of superlative skill is able to restore it to its former glory, but the player must first sell him the chunk of [[orichalcum|orichalcum]] found in [[Damdara]] before he can begin. The sword of kings increases the {{Hero 3}}'s attack by +120 and will generate an earthshaking [[Kaswoosh|thunderclap]] when used as an item.
 
==={{DQ11}}===
The Sword of Kings is available in the post-game. In [[Hotto]], there is a blacksmith that wishes to forge the sword, and needs Orichalcum to do so. Once given the material, the blacksmith starts forging the sword and asks the player to return later (one in-game day) for it. The Sword of Kings will then become available in the [[item shop]] and costs 35,000 [[gold]] coins. It has an {{Attack}} bonus of +120 and a {{Charm}} bonus of +32. It 124~252 Wind damage when used as an item in battle, and it cannot be upgraded.
 
The Sword of Kings is one of the ingredients needed to craft the [[Supreme Sword of Light]].
 
==={{DQB}}===
The Sword of Kings is available in the final chapter of the game, and requires three lumps of orichalcum, two steel ingots, one gold ingot, one silver ingot, and a drop of magic dye. It increases the [[Builder (Dragon Quest Builders)|Builder's]] attack by +50, and does not wear down with use like other weapons.
 
==={{DQB2}}===
The sword increases the [[Builder (Dragon Quest Builders 2)|Builder's]] by +86, and requires three orichalcum ingots, one zenithium ingot, one gold ingot, and two silver ingots to forge.
 
==={{DQTact}}===
The Sword of Kings is an S-rank sword that can be acquired as part of the limited ''True Dragon Quest III'' event by obtaining [[Orichalcum]] fragments through various challenges. It has an {{HP}} bonus of +30, an {{Attack}} bonus of +30, raises the physical potency of [[Hero family|Hero]] units by 5% and has three slots for Alchemy Effects.
 
==Trivia==
*The sword of kings is paid homage by the [[Kingsblade|kingsblade]] of ''[[Dragon Quest VII|VII]]'', which has a similar design and attack strength. This is possibly a developer gag as the 1996 remake of ''III'' was the most recent mainline title in the series prior to the release of ''VII'' in 2000.
