The Falcon Blade (also known as the Falcon Sword) is a sword featured in multiple games in the Dragon Quest series. The sword is incredibly fast, allowing those wielding it to attack twice in a single turn, making it especially useful against Metal slimes and their variants. In later games, it can be upgraded into an über falcon blade.
Appearances[]
Dragon Quest II[]
The falcon blade has an attack bonus of +7. It can be purchased in Slewse for 25,000 gold and can be equipped by the Hero and the Prince of Cannock. In the original versions of the game, due to his more limited equipment options, it was one of the Prince of Cannock's best weapons despite its low attack power.
Dragon Quest III[]
The falcon sword can be bought for 25,000 gold in Rimuldar and sold for 18,750 gold. It has an attack bonus of +5. The Hero, merchants, thieves, and sages can equip it.
Dragon Quest IV[]
The Falcon Blade has an attack bonus of +67 and can be won from the Endor Casino for 65,000 tokens. It can be equipped by the Hero, Ragnar, and Psaro. Psaro joins the party with a falcon blade equipped. Also, if the Immigrant Town gets upgraded to a castle, you can find the Falcon Blade on the west side of the Castle on the ground.
The Falcon Blade can attack the same enemy twice, but won't carry over to a different monster. The Falcon Blade is expensive to get at Endor Casino as as it is necessary to bet at the monster arena for many hours before finally getting over 65,000 tokens.
Dragon Quest V[]
The falcon blade has an attack bonus of +67 and each strike hits for 75%, totaling up to 150%. It can be obtained by trading 35 mini medals to King Dominucus. It can also be found on the Nadiria and Stark Raving Mad T'n'T boards.
Dragon Quest VI[]
The Falcon blade has an Attack bonus of +67 and a Style bonus of +32. It can be upgraded to have a style bonus of +60, though it costs 4800 gold to do so. Overkilling machines drop them 1⁄256 of the time. Falcon blades can be obtained from either the Turnscote or Greedmore Valley casinos for 10,000 tokens. The Hero, Milly, Ashlynn, Amos, Terry, and Goowain can equip them.
Dragon Quest VII[]
The falcon blade has the now standard attack bonus of +67, but only deals 50% damage per strike, and an appearance bonus of +32. It can be equipped by the Hero, Sir Mervyn, and Aishe.
Dragon Quest VIII[]
The falcon blade has an attack bonus of +37 and returns to 75% per hit. It can be obtained from the Baccarat Casino for 10,000 tokens and can be equipped by the Hero, Angelo, and Jessica, provided she can equip swords. It can be upgraded using the Alchemy Pot with a meteorite bracer into an Über falcon blade.
It can also be sold for 5,000 Gold Coins.
Dragon Quest IX[]
Info[]
Equipping this, or the improved version, doubles the number of swings taken when the wielder performs a physical attack. This means that a character who performs Falcon Slash while wielding one of these swords swings four times.

The falcon blade has an Attack bonus of +33 and can be equipped exclusively by Aurora. Its special effect is that it has a 30% chance of causing Aurora to divide when she attacks, similar to Terry's Falcon Slash ability and Alena's Divide and Conquer, and the clone will perform the same attacks as her for a short time. It can be purchased for 25,000 gold coins after the first visit to Dawnsholm.
