'''Erdrick's sword''' is the fabled blade wielded by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|mythical Hero]], passed on to his descendants to keep the realm of [[Alefgard]] free from terror. It is a one-handed longsword with a golden center and hilt that resembles a [[Ramia|phoenix]], set with a red gemstone. The grip appears to be a blue fabric, and the counter weight is a gold sphere encasing a red jewel.
Prior to becoming part of [[Erdrick Equipment|the legendary Hero's heraldry]], this blade was known as the [[Sword of Kings|sword of kings]].

The legendary blade is found in [[Dragonlord's Castle]], off of the path to the [[Dragonlord]]. Equipping it grants the player +40 {{Attack}}, a substantial boost from the [[Flame sword]]'s +28. Certain third-party documentation claims that the sword is the only weapon that can cut the despot's scales, but this is completely false. That being said, it is strongly advised to acquire the blade to make the final confrontation much easier.

The sword is once again found in the [[Dragonlord's Castle]], left there by the previous {{Hero 1}}. Unlike the armour, no one has attempted to restore the sword to its original glory, and the +40 {{Attack}} bonus means it will not be effective during the game's finale.

The sword can only be equipped by the {{Prince of Midenhall}} in the {{NES}}, while the [[Prince of Cannock]] can also equip the sword in the {{SFC}} and all ports of the remake after.

Whoever pre-ordered the [[Nintendo 3DS]] Version of the game in Japan obtained the code to download Erdrick's sword. In game, the sword must be reforged in the [[Alchemy Pot]] to reach its true potential. '''Ye Olde Sword of Erdrick''' became available to download for international players on February 24, 2017. It has an attack bonus of +20 and can be equipped by the {{Hero 8}}, as well as [[Jessica Albert]] and [[Red]] if they have enough skill points in Knives. After the sword has been reforged, '''Erdrick's sword''' has an {{Attack}} bonus of +120, being second to the [[Dragovian Equipment#Dragovian king sword|Dragovian king sword]] and the most powerful sword for both Jessica and Red.

The sword is only available in Terra Incognita, and requires a diviner's altar to craft. The necessary materials are three orichalcum chunks, two steel ingots, one gold ingot, one silvery sludge, & one holy water. It increases the [[Builder (Dragon Quest Builders)|Builder]]'s attack by +55 and will never degrade no matter how many monsters or blocks it slices.

==={{DQB2}}===
Erdrick's sword is the second-most powerful weapon, surpassed in power only by the [[Über falcon blade]], increasing the [[Builder (Dragon Quest Builders 2)|Builder]]'s attack by +118. It takes three orichalcum ingots, two steel ingots, one gold ingot, one zenithium chunk, and one phial of silvery sludge to create.

==={{DQTact}}===
