The '''Bottomless pot''' is a key item in {{DQ3}} and {{DQB2}}.

It is necessary in order to retrieve the [[Ultimate Key]] in the former, and is a handy agricultural tool in the latter. 

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
The pot originates from the village of [[Persistence]], whose residents say it was stolen from the village by men from [[Edina]].  The king of Edina says that it was his grandfather who hid the pot in the castle, meaning it was stolen a long time before the events of {{Dragon Quest III}}. The pot is hidden in a puzzle chamber in the castle basement.  In order to retrieve it, the heroes must push three boulders onto a specific section of the floor. The difficulty is that the boulders can be pushed into unmovable positions or into water. Exiting and re-entering the chamber resets the boulder positions.

The bottomless pot is to be used in the sea northwest of Persistence to raise the [[Shallows Shrine]]. This is hinted by the talking horse in the village. Its usage is very similar to using the [[Moonshard]] to open the [[Sea Cave]] in {{DQ2}}.

Although the island closes after exiting the shrine directly, the pot can be used over and over to raise the shrine again.  The island will not sink, however, if [[Zoom]] is used to leave it.

==={{DQB2}}===
The bottomless pot is acquired in [[Furrowfield]], and is used to alter the depth of bodies of water by draining or filling the area. The pot can hold an infinite amount of water, allowing players to empty a lake entirely or to fill in a new one—the water never runs out once swallowed. Once upgraded -via completing tablet targets-, any liquid substance can be gulped down as well, from putrid swamps to hot springs. There is one limitation: only one liquid type can be held at a time.

The upgraded bottomless pot has two modes: full and shallow modes. With the former, a whole block is filled with water, while in shallow mode only about 1/3 of the block's height is. The shallow mode is intended for, among other things, modifying the shores.

It can also be used to get milk from cows.
