Erdrick's sword is the fabled blade wielded by the 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 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 the legendary Hero's heraldry, this blade was known as the 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, though unlike the Flame sword it can neither do extra damage nor be used as a tool in combat.

The sword is once again found in the Dragonlord's Castle, left there by the previous Hero. 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.

After the Hero slew the Dragonlord using Erdrick's Sword, the fabled blade has been left in the Dragonlord's Castle. Due to the sword being left behind the castle for years, the legendary sword has been worn-out and rusted, losing its former might. When the Dragonlord's great-grandson met the current Scions of Erdrick, he presented them their ancestor's legendary blade as a sign of trust and goodwill that he will support the scions in their fight against Hargon's reign of terror.
All is not lost however, as the blade can be restored to its former might. In order to do this, the player must find a descendant of the swordsmith in Kol. There, he will request the scions of Erdrick to retrieve a chunk of Orichalcum, the same material used to forge the legendary blade by his ancestor, and finding information about the fabled ore in Tantegel from a thief. The thief will then give clues on the location of the Orichalcum in the hidden depths of the Craggy Cave. After retrieving the fabled ore, the blacksmith will then restore the fabled blade to its lustrous might.
In the postgame, after defeating the empowered Dragonlord's great-grandson in trial combat, he uses the power of the Sphere of Light to upgrade Erdrick's sword and shield to their "supreme" versions. With an attack bonus of +228, Erdrick's Supreme Sword is the most powerful weapon in the game, though it does fire or lightning damage (defaulting to the least resisted of the two), meaning some monsters are immune to it.
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King[edit]
| Game | Description |
 | A sword of legend, said to have been used by the great hero Erdrick himself.[3] |
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, 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 king sword and the most powerful sword for both Jessica and Red.
