==Story==
The '''Venus' tear''' is a recurring item in the {{DQSeries}}. It is a beautiful blue gemstone in the shape of a goddess's teardrop.
In the past, [[Yangus]] himself promised to obtain the Venus' Tear in hopes of impressing his fellow thief and friend, Red. Though he originally feared the labyrinth, he found himself following through with his original plan when part of [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|The Hero]]'s party when their friend [[Princess Medea|Medea]] (trapped in the form of a horse) was obtained by Red through a series of events in [[Pickham]].


The party succeeded in retrieving the gem, and presented it to Red to rescue Medea.
When it first appeared in {{DQ8}}, it was an important key item, but it became an accessory in later games in the series with differing effects.
