Appearances
Dragon Quest IV
Appearing in the remakes, Boulder Toss is one of Chow Mein's special attacks. Because no equipment in IV resists the Strike element from VI, this attack will hurt.

Boulder Toss is learned by advancing to rank 7 of the Gladiator vocation.
Dragon Quest VII
Learned in the same manner as the previous installment. In the 3DS version, Boulder Toss is learned at the first rank of the Champion vocation and is slightly nerfed, flattening foes for 80~120.
Dragon Quest VIII
Boulder Toss is a fisticuffs technique that both the Hero and Yangus can learn. It requires 82 skill points by the Hero, and 100 skill points by Yangus. The skill is weaker in this game, dealing only 72~104 damage.
