Appearances

Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation

In the original Super Famicom version, the damage was calculated with the user's Attack stat, rather than with their normal attack damage. It was changed in remake versions of the game to function the way it does later in the series. Falcon Slash is already known by Lizzie and Terry when they join the party, and is learned by Goowain at level 25. Other characters can learn it by advancing to rank 7 of the Warrior vocation.

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past

Falcon Slash is learned by reaching rank 6 of the Gladiator vocation in the PSX version.

  • In the 3DS remake it is learned at rank 6 of the Gladiator, rank 2 of the Champion, rank 8 of the Dingbat, and rank 6 of the Slaughtomaton vocations. It also costs 2 MP to use.
