The gringham whip is a recurring whip in the Dragon Quest series. It is usually one of the strongest, if not the strongest, whips in the game and occasionally has the ability to attack all enemies instead of a single group.

Characteristics

The whip has had three distinctive designs throughout the series' history. In the Super Famicom versions of III, V, and VI, the gringham whip had a beautiful silver and gold handle with a filigree design, decorated with various red and blue gemstones, and featured three lashes with deadly blades at the ends. The second design, featured in VII, as well as remake versions of IV, V, and VI, consists of a blue and teal-coloured handle with three lashes, each with a sharp arrowhead-shaped blade at the end, as well as another arrowhead-shaped blade on the end of the handle. Starting with VIII, the gringham whip now had a red and gold handle and three teal cords braided into a single lash with three arrowhead-shaped blades at the end, along with one of the same blades on the back of the handle. This was done in order to have all whips in the game have the same attack animations.

Appearances

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation

The gringham whip was added in the 1996 remake and it has an attack bonus of +105. It can be wielded by the Hero, Warriors, Thieves, Gadabouts, and Sages. One can be found at the Dragon Queen's Pachisi Track, another is found in the Ice Cave in the GBC version. It only appears in remake versions of the game. In the mobile version, it is the final prize obtained from the mini medal collector in Aliahan after turning in 100 medals.
