The '''Mark of Erdrick''' is a recurring, sacred artifact from the ''[[Dragon Quest series|Dragon Quest]]'' series.

==Appearances==
===''Dragon Quest''===
The mark can be located in the swamp south of [[Cantlin]]. It can easily be found by using the [[Princess Pledge]] to determine how far you are from [[Tantegel Castle]]. It is 70 steps south and 40 steps east of [[Tantegel Castle]]. The token is needed to prove [[Hero (Dragon Quest)|The Hero]]'s heritage to the wizard in the [[Southern Shrine]] so that he will create the [[Rainbow Drop]].

''"Let us wish the warrior well! May the light be thy strength! Thou may go and search. From Tantegel Castle travel 70 leagues to the south and 40 to the east."''

===''Dragon Quest II''===
The token is found in [[Midenhall]] Castle, and can be sold for 8 gold coins due to the respawning chest containing it after.  The old man in the Southern Shrine will give [[Hero (Dragon Quest II)|The Hero]] the [[Erdrick Equipment|Helmet of Erdrick]] in turn.

===''Dragon Quest III''===
Known as the [[Sacred amulet]], the token makes its canonical first appearance in this game, where it is given to [[Erdrick|the hero]] by [[Rubiss]] after rescuing her from the [[Tower West of Kol]]. The hero would pass this amulet down to his or her descendants as an emblem of heritage from the great hero [[Erdrick]], though it has been lost prior to the start of ''[[Dragon Quest I]]''. In ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'', it serves a practical purpose in battle, acting like an infinite usage [[Dieamend]] and protecting the hero from the likes of [[whack]], [[thwack]] and [[kamikazee]].
