Throwdown

From Dragon Quest Wiki

Throwdown is a recurring attack in the Dragon Quest series commonly used by bosses where they grab a character and slam them into the ground violently. The damage is usually calculated by dividing the user's normal attack damage by two and adding a fixed amount of damage which ignores the target's defence.

Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen[edit]

In remake versions of the game, Aamon can use a crushing attack on a single character. The damage is calculated by Aamon's attack damage divided by 2 plus a bonus 150 damage.

Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation[edit]

When Mortamor changes to his final form, his left and right hands can use an attack that sinks their talons into a single character. The damage is calculated as (Normal attack damage ÷ 2 + 100) in the original Super Famicom version. In remake versions of the game, the fixed amount of damage is increased to 150.

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past[edit]

In the final battle against Orgodemir, he can use a slamming attack in his third form. The damage is calculated by his attack damage divided by 2 plus 150 fixed damage.

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King[edit]

The Divine dragon can use an attack where he sinks his talons into a character and slams them into the ground. The damage is calculated by his attack damage divided by 2 plus a bonus 150 damage.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies[edit]

Mortamor's Left and Right Claws, as well as Rhapthorne, use a slamming attack when faced as legacy bosses. The in-game text describes it as "a slap round the chops" and it deals 150% damage to a single character.
