The '''Bamboo pole''' is a recurring weapon in the {{DQSeries}} that appeared in the original {{Dragon Quest}}. This simple weapon is the weakest weapon in the game. | |||
==Characteristics== | |||
The pole is a simple weapon that consists of little more than a length of bamboo with one end chopped and sharpened to a point. In some illustrations, it has a rudimentary grip made of cloth near the base. The bamboo pole's position as the weakest weapon in the game would be taken over in subsequent games by the [[Cypress stick]]. | |||
==Appearances== | |||
==={{DQ}}=== | |||
Due to text restrictions in the {{Game Boy Color}} remake of {{Dragon Quest}}, the bamboo pole was renamed to '''Bamboo''' with a picture of a pole beside it. Additionally, the {{Hero 1}} starts his quest with it in the [[Cell phone]] and {{Switch}} versions of the game, although it is not equipped. | |||

After a long hiatus, the bamboo pole made a reappearance in this game as a B-rank weapon with an {{Attack}} bonus of +3 and a {{Wisdom}} bonus of +2. It can be received during the game's limited ''Dragon Quest I'' event. | |||
==Trivia== | |||
*There is an illustration of the Prince of Cannock wielding the bamboo pole in the Official Guide Book for ''Dragon Quest II'' for the Famicom, despite the weapon not appearing in the game. | |||
