Poison needle

Posion Needle

The Poison Needle (or Poison Knife) is a weapon in the Dragon Quest series. It is a novelty weapon that has a 12% chance to instantly kill an enemy in a single strike, but otherwise can only inflict one point of damage. Both of these attributes make the needle an invaluable weapon against metal slimes.

Appearances

Dragon Quest V

The poison needle will only deal 1 point of damage (never zero) and has an increased chance of making a critical hit, so it is useful against metal slimes. It can be purchased in Coburg & Hay.

Dragon Quest VIII

The poison needle can only be equipped by Jessica.

Dragon Quest IX

The poison needle can be bought for 1900 gold, and sold for 950. It may be equipped by thieves, mages, warriors, and anyone who has mastered the Knife skill set.
