Orichalcum is a plot item in this game, required to forge the [[Sword of Light]]. It can be obtained in the [[Battleground]], specifically in the area labeled "Overlooked Cavern" on the map. The orichalcum is one of the three items the party needs to forge the Sword of Light (the other two being the [[Forging Hammer]] and [[Crucible key]]). Finding it also triggers a humorous cutscene in which [[Erik]] gets overexcited about its value.

In Act 3, it is also possible to obtain smaller chunks of orichalcum as ingredients for certain late-game [[Fun-Size Forge]] recipes. These can be collected from sparkly spots behind a door in the Battleground locked with the [[Ultimate Key]]. It is necessary to give one of these chunks to the blacksmith in [[Hotto]] in order for him to forge the [[Sword of Kings]].
The important lump of orichalcum from Act 2 can also be regained in Act 3, by looking in the same spot as before, although no cutscene triggers. This is needed to reforge the Sword of Light in Act 3. Both the Sword of Light and Sword of Kings are needed if the player wishes to forge the optional but very powerful [[Supreme Sword of Light]]. In ''Dragon Quest XI S'', this more important lump is called ''rarefied'' orichalcum, probably to differentiate it from the less important chunks available in Act 3.
