The Falcon blade is a one-star sword that has +42 {{Attack}} and has a second slash every time it’s swung. It can be equipped by any {{NPC}} that can wield weapons.


'''Crafting'''


The recipe to build the Falcon blade is: x3 Steel ingot, x1 Silvery sludge, and x1 Gold ingot. The recipe can be unlocked by slaying the super-strong [[Hunter mech]] in Rimey Reef.
'''Skin'''
Like with every weapon in the game, when obtained, you can use the Dressing Table to set the Falcon blade’s skin over every weapon that you equip.
'''Secret Use'''
A secret three-star variant of the Falcon blade can be obtained by equipping the [[Sword of ruin]] and changing the weapon skin to the Falcon blade skin. When doing so, the [[Sword of ruin]] will permanently transform into a three-star Falcon blade that has +126 {{Attack}}.
'''In-game Description'''
The in-game description reads: “A feather-light falchion that strikes twice like swooping hawk. {{Attack}} +42. Strikes twice with each attack.” The only difference between the description of each sword is the attack; with the one-star Falcon Blade saying, “{{Attack}} +42.”, and the three-star Falcon Blade saying, “{{Attack}} +126.”.
==={{DQTreasures}}===
A model of the blade appears as [[List_of_treasures_in_Dragon_Quest_Treasures|treasure No. 22]], with a base value of 9,480,000 {{Gold}}.

The Falcon blade has an Attack bonus of +33 and can be equipped exclusively by Aurora. Its special effect is that it has a 30% chance of causing Aurora to divide when she attacks, similar to Terry's Falcon Slash ability and Alena's Divide and Conquer, and the clone will perform the same attacks as her for a short time. It can be purchased for 25,000 gold coins after the first visit to Dawnsholm.

Dragon Quest Builders 2[edit]

The Falcon blade is a one-star sword that has +42 Attack and has a second slash every time it’s swung. It can be equipped by any NPC that can wield weapons.

Crafting

The recipe to build the Falcon blade is: x3 Steel ingot, x1 Silvery sludge, and x1 Gold ingot. The recipe can be unlocked by slaying the super-strong Hunter mech in Rimey Reef.

Skin

Like with every weapon in the game, when obtained, you can use the Dressing Table to set the Falcon blade’s skin over every weapon that you equip.

Secret Use

A secret three-star variant of the Falcon blade can be obtained by equipping the Sword of ruin and changing the weapon skin to the Falcon blade skin. When doing so, the Sword of ruin will permanently transform into a three-star Falcon blade that has +126 Attack.

In-game Description

The in-game description reads: “A feather-light falchion that strikes twice like swooping hawk. Attack +42. Strikes twice with each attack.” The only difference between the description of each sword is the attack; with the one-star Falcon Blade saying, “Attack +42.”, and the three-star Falcon Blade saying, “Attack +126.”.

Dragon Quest Treasures[edit]

A model of the blade appears as treasure No. 22, with a base value of 9,480,000 gold coins.
