Erdrick's sword is the fabled blade wielded by the mythical Hero, passed on to his descendants to keep the realm of Alefguard 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.
Appearances
Dragon Quest
| Game | Description |
 | The sword of the legendary hero Erdrick.[1] |
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. Certain third-party documentation claims that the sword is the only weapon that can cut the despot's scales, but this is completely false. That being said, it is strongly advised to acquire the blade to make the final confrontation much easier.
Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line
| Game | Description |
 | The sword of the legendary hero Erdrick.[2] |
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.
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King
| Game | Description |
