Appearances
Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation
The weapon has an Attack bonus of +55. It can be found in the basement chamber of the Pyramid, and sold for 11,250 gold coins in the weapon/armour shops. Being a treasure of a long forgotten Pharaoh, the claws are cursed: the party will encounter a battle at every step as soon as they possess it until they sell or discard the gauntlet. In the remakes of III, the claws will only force battles while within the pyramid and its Attack bonus is +50.

The Golden claws are given to the party by the Portogus Rex of Portoga as a reward for defeating Baramos after his resurrection. Though the Pharaoh's curse persists, the King likely means well as the claws are the strongest weapons a martial artist can have in his world. When fully idealized in the forge, the claws boast the highest critical hit chance of all weapons and can help Jade attain a 25% chance when paired with the Assassin accessory, the Minerva equipment exclusive to her, and the passive traits she acquires through her character builder. As with all items found from other worlds accessed through the Echo Chamber, the claws are only available in the Definitive Edition version of the game.
