Appearances

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King

The metal king spear is found near the end of the Dragovian Path, and has an attack bonus of +120. It can be sold for 24,000 Gold Coins or made into a Metal wing boomerang if mixed with the Razor wing boomerang in the Alchemy Pot. As with all metal slime weapons, it deals 1~2 damage to the globs.

  • Starting with the smartphone version of the game, it became possible to turn the metal wing boomerang back into the spear in the Alchemy Pot by combining it with a Holy lance. In the Nintendo 3DS version, a second metal king spear can be found in Memories Lane, allowing the player to keep one and use the other to make the metal wing boomerang if they so choose.
