Boulder Toss

Boulder Toss is a recurring ability in the Dragon Quest series. It throws a huge rock large enough to squash all enemies at once.

AppearancesEdit

Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the ChosenEdit

Appearing in the remakes, Boulder Toss is one of Chow Mein's special attacks, dealing 90~130 damage. Because no equipment in IV resists the Earth element from VI, this attack will hurt.

Dragon Quest VI: Realms of RevelationEdit

Boulder Toss is learned by advancing to rank 7 of the Gladiator Vocation and will deal 90~130 Strike damage to all enemies.

It is used by the boss Belleau.

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten PastEdit

Learned in the same manner as the previous installment and shares the damage parameters. In the 3DS Version, Boulder Toss is learned at the first rank of the Champion vocation and is slightly nerfed, flattening foes for 80~120.

It is used by the enemies mad moai, mega moai, utter nutters, and the Earth Spirit.

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed KingEdit

Boulder Toss is a fisticuffs technique that both the Hero and Yangus can learn. It requires 82 skill points by the Hero, and 100 skill points by Yangus. The skill is weaker than normal in this game, dealing only 72~104 damage, but can be boosted with Tension.

  • In the 3DS version, Boulder Toss is also used by Juggerwroth in battle. His version of the skill is much stronger and does 95~130 damage to the whole party.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry SkiesEdit

This ability is learned with 77 skill points invested into the Fisticuffs skill. Boulder Toss has been much improved in this game, dealing damage dependent on the user's strength and deftness for a maximum range of 290~320.
