The '''Golden claws''' are a pair of cursed claws that draw monsters to the wearer en mass.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
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.
