AppearancesEdit
Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly BrideEdit
The metal king sword has an Attack bonus of +130 and is the most powerful weapon in the game, though the flail of destruction (available only in the postgame) is almost as powerful and hits all enemies. It can be purchased as a casino prize for 50,000 tokens. It can be equipped by the Hero, the Hero's son, Tuppence, Dwight, and any slime type recruit, among other monsters. Unlike in some later games, it can miss a metal monster, and multiple units can be acquired via the casino in Fortuna (as well as the Ventuno in the remakes), making it available fairly early in the game.
Dragon Quest VI: Realms of RevelationEdit
The metal king sword has an Attack bonus of +130 and a Style bonus of +40, and every character can equip it. The only place it can be found is floor five of Mortamor's Dreadlair. It can be sold for 7,500 gold coins.
Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten PastEdit
