The liquid metal sword is a powerful recurring weapon in the Dragon Quest series. It is often one of the strongest weapons in the game and boasts the ability to deal damage to metal slimes. It features an emblem of a liquid metal slime on its crossguard, and in certain titles is a stand alone weapon while in others it is the direct upgrade of the metal slime sword.
Appearances[edit]
Dragon Quest II HD-2D Remake[edit]
The liquid metal sword can be won as the Ultimate Prize at the tombola booth at Cloudsgate Citadel, which opens up next to the nun after you defeat Xenlon and wish for it, with extremely steep odds; it is most common to receive 10 green balls (Magic Waters) at this booth. It has an attack bonus of +154 and is equipped by the Prince of Midenhall and the Prince and Princess of Cannock. Depending when you wish for it, you may already have more powerful weapons for all three, while skills like Critical Claim (also wished for from Xenlon) render its effect on metal monsters underwhelming. However, it is possible to give Erdrick's Supreme Sword to the Princess of Moonbrooke, the Liquid Metal Sword to the Princess of Cannock, and the Destructiball and Sword of Rubiss to the Hero and Prince of Cannock, and thus have the four most powerful weapons in the game equipped.
Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen[edit]
The liquid metal sword has an attack bonus of +130 and cannot be sold. It can be equipped by the Hero, Ragnar, Kiryl, Torneko, Meena, and Psaro. It can be found in Cascade Cave, but only after retrieving the karstaway stone in Dunplundrin. In the NES version, it is the most powerful weapon in the game.
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King[edit]
The liquid metal sword has an attack bonus of +118 and can be sold for 5,000 gold coins. It can be equipped by the Hero, Angelo, and Jessica if she has enough skill points in her Knives skill to equip swords, as well as Red in the 3DS version. It's guaranteed to inflict 1~2 damage on metal monsters and can mix with the dragovian sword to make the dragovian king sword in the Alchemy Pot.
