The sword of ruin, also known as the sword of destruction and devil sword, is a powerful sword in the Dragon Quest series. It is frequently one of the most powerful weapons in the game, if not the most powerful, yet that power comes at a price, as the sword is cursed... If equipped, the wielder will occasionally become paralyzed for a turn in battle. The sword features an unusual design of bones and skulls and has an axe head at the tip of the blade.
