Appearances
Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen
Knuckle Sandwich appears in remake versions of the game as an enemy-only skill that can be used by Chow Mein.
Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation
Knuckle Sandwich inflicts 150% damage, but has a chance to miss the target if it has any resistance to the strike/rock attribute. Carver obtains this ability during a story event in Murdaw's Keep. Other characters can learn this ability by advancing to rank 5 of the Martial Artist vocation.
Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past
Exactly the same as it was in VI in the PSX version, and deals 200% damage for 2 MP in the 3DS remake.
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King
Knuckle Sandwich is a Fisticuffs technique that the Hero, Yangus, and Angelo can learn, as well as Morrie in the 3DS version. It requires 12 skill points by Yangus, 24 skill points by the Hero, 35 skill points by Angelo, and 28 skill points by Morrie. All four need 2 MP to perform the technique. On the enemy side, it can be used by the Lord of the Dragovians.
Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies
This ability is learned with 25 skill points invested into Fisticuffs skill. Damage is base attack + 50%, with no additional chance to miss. Costs 2 MP to use, making it easy to exploit.
Dragon Quest X
Knuckle Sandwich can be learned by investing 30 skill points into the Fisticuffs skill and costs 3 MP to use.
Dragon Quest Heroes & Dragon Quest Heroes II
Knuckle Sandwich appears as one of Alena's basic attacks that costs no MP that can be used when she presses the Triangle button.
- Knuckle Sandwich can be upgraded with the skill Knuckle Sandwich Enhancer, which costs 5 skill points to learn when Alena reaches Level 20. By holding down the Triangle button, she can charge up her Knuckle Sandwich to deal more damage. It can be upgraded further by learning Knockout Knuckle Sandwich for 5 skill points at Level 24, which increases the chance of landing a critical hit with the attack.
Dragon Quest Tact
Knuckle Sandwich can be learned by Stone golem at Level 22 and Medislime at Level 32. It costs 13 MP to use and inflicts moderate martial damage to a single enemy.
