The Lightning Staff, also known as the Staff of Thunder or Bolt Staff, is a powerful weapon wielded by spell casters in the Dragon Quest series.

Appearances

Dragon Quest II

The Staff of Thunder is dropped by the Evil Clown in the dungeon of Midenhall. When used in combat the Staff of Thunder casts Infernos. It is the most powerful weapon the Princess of Moonbrooke can equip. In the NES version, players can continually sell it for money by selling it, then saving & resetting the game and fighting Evil Clown again. The Super Famicom and Game Boy Version only provide one Lightning Staff per game.

Dragon Quest III

The Staff of Thunder can be found near a well in Soo. It casts Firebane when used as an item.

Dragon Quest IV

The Lightning Staff is hidden in the Castle Nadiria. Borya and Maya are able to use it. It has an attack bonus of +29, and casts Sizzle when used as a tool in battle. In the Sony PlayStation and Nintendo DS remakes, it can also be found in the Vault of Vrenor in a hidden stairway that's revealed when you search the chest that originally contained the Armlet of Transmutation.

Also in the remakes are the memoirs of Rowand the Wandering Wandsman, which hint to The Staff and it's location.

The Staff is also used by the Hell raiser monsters.

Dragon Quest V

The lightning staff has an attack bonus of +29. It can be picked up in the Faerie Palace.

Dragon Quest VII

In Dragon Quest VII, the Bolt Staff is found in Mardra after Zeppel is defeated.

Dragon Quest VIII

The lightning staff has an attack bonus of +24 and has the same effect as Zap when used as an item in battle, but can only target one group of enemies. It can also be sold for 2,300 Gold Coins.

Dragon Quest IX
