The '''Lightning Staff''', also known as the '''Staff of Thunder''' or '''Bolt Staff''', is a powerful weapon wielded by spell casters in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series.

The Staff of Thunder is dropped by the [[Evil Clown]] in the dungeon of [[Midenhall]]. When used in combat the Staff of Thunder casts [[Infernos]]. It is the most powerful weapon the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]] can equip.  In the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version, players can continually sell it for money by selling it, then saving & resetting the game and fighting Evil Clown again.  The [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Famicom]] and [[Game Boy]] Version only provide one Lightning Staff per game.

The Staff of Thunder can be found near a well in [[Soo]]. It casts [[Firebane]] when used as an item.

The Lightning Staff is hidden in the [[Castle Nadiria]]. [[Borya]] and [[Maya]] are able to use it. It has an attack bonus of +29, and casts [[Sizzle]] when used as a tool in battle.  In the [[Sony PlayStation]] and [[Nintendo DS]] remakes, it can also be found in the [[Vault of Vrenor]] in a hidden stairway that's revealed when you search the chest that originally contained the [[Armlet of Transmutation]].

In [[Dragon Quest VII]], the Bolt Staff is found in [[Mardra]] after [[Zeppel]] is defeated.

The lightning staff has an attack bonus of +24 and has the same effect as [[Zap]] when used as an item in battle, but can only target one group of enemies. It can also be sold for 2,300 [[Gold]] Coins.
