The almighty azure alloy can be found in the Godbird's Eyrie (light world), the Black Citadel, automatically dropped by [[Ruin]], exchanged for 83 [[Mini medal]]s, and found a chest in the post-game Heavenly Dais. Additionally, monsters [[Metal king slime]] ({{fraction|1|256}}) and [[Pandora's box]] ({{fraction|1|128}}). Using [[Yangus]]' ''Stainless Steal Sickle'' with the [[Skull helm]] will help against the latter, but will lower the acquirement rate to {{fraction|1|256}}. In the {{3DS}} version, three more pieces of orichalcum can be obtained; one by filling out the Munchie card in [[Cameron's Codex]], another in the [[Altar of Wroth]], and one more in [[Memories Lane]]. | The almighty azure alloy can be found in the [[Godbird's Eyrie]] (light world), the [[Black Citadel]], automatically dropped by [[Ruin]], exchanged for 83 [[Mini medal]]s, and found a chest in the post-game Heavenly Dais.

In Act 3, it is also possible to obtain smaller chunks of Orichalcum as ingredients for certain late-game [[Fun-Size Forge]] recipes. These can be collected from sparkly spots behind a door in the Battleground locked with the [[Ultimate Key]]. It is necessary to give one of these chunks to the blacksmith in [[Hotto]] in order for him to forge the [[Sword of Kings]]. | In Act 3, it is also possible to obtain smaller chunks of Orichalcum as ingredients for certain late-game [[Fun-Size Forge]] recipes.

The important lump of orichalcum from Act 2 can also be regained in Act 3, by looking in the same spot as before, although no cutscene triggers. This is needed to reforge the Sword of Light in Act 3. Both the Sword of Light and [[Sword of Kings]] are needed if the player wishes to forge the optional but very powerful [[Supreme Sword of Light]].

In {{Dragon Quest XI S}}, this more important lump is called ''rarefied'' orichalcum, probably to differentiate it from the less important chunks available in Act 3. | ||

Orichalcum is a extremely rare and durable metal, said to be created by the gods. Objects crafted from orichalcum include the Demon Dragon Blade (wielded by the Dragon Knight), the Sword of Champions (initially a tournament prize, but stolen and wielded by Hadlar), and the Crown of Champions (gifted to Dai at the start of the series). The Crown is eventually melted down to serve as raw materials for Dai's personal weapon, the Sword of Dai. | Orichalcum is a extremely rare and durable metal, said to be created by the gods.

Demon King Vearn also owns a set of orichalcum chess pieces, five of which (a pawn, knight, rook, bishop and queen) are animated by Hadlar to create a group of powerful warriors known as the Hadlar Royal Guard. Later Vearn also animates the king piece as a minor antagonist, served by mindless golems created from the remaining pawns. | Demon King [[Vearn]] also owns a set of orichalcum chess pieces, five of which (a pawn, knight, rook, bishop and queen) are animated by [[Hadlar]] to create a group of powerful warriors known as the Hadlar Royal Guard.
