The Sword of Kings in Dragon Quest 3 Remake is one of the most iconic weapons only the Hero can wield.

This sword gives a +120 attack boost. It also casts Infermost in battle, dealing heavy damage to enemies.

This article explains how to obtain the Sword of Kings in Dragon Quest 3 Remake.

How to Get the Sword of Kings

The restoration of this mighty sword is no simple feat, as it's been shattered, and its fragments are scattered across Alefgard.

To complete this quest, you must gather three essential items: Orichalcum, the Broken Blade, and the Forging Hammer.

While there are no extra bosses to defeat, the task includes exploration, collecting items, and speaking with key NPCs.

Here’s how to track down all three required items.

Orichalcum

Start by locating the Orichalcum, a rare and precious material needed to craft legendary weapons.

Travel southwest from Tantegel Castle to reach Damdara, located in the heart of the desert.

When you arrive, speak to the townspeople for clues. A man in the weapons shop will mention hearing rumors about Orichalcum, while a woman near the stables hints that she noticed something shiny in the grazing area.

Make your way to the horse pasture and search the hay to uncover the Orichalcum.

The Orichalcum’s peculiar location in a pile of hay might seem odd, but in the world of Alefgard, it's best not to dwell on the details.

Broken Blade

The next step is to find the Broken Blade, the remains of the Sword of Kings.

Travel east to the city of Cantlin, which is surrounded by mountains and toxic marshes.

Use the Safe Passage spell to navigate through the dangerous terrain without taking damage.

Once you arrive in Cantlin, head to the western part of town, where you’ll find a building with a scientist engrossed in his research.

He is focused on constructing a mechanical defender for the town but has no use for the broken sword fragments lying on a nearby desk.

The scientist will let you take the Broken Blade.

Forging Hammer

The final item on the list is the Forging Hammer, which belongs to a blacksmith now living in Kol.

Visit the blacksmith on the second floor of Kol’s item shop. He will share his story about fleeing Jipang with his wife to escape the demon Orochi.

He reveals that his hammer was left behind during their escape from Orochi, and he can't continue his work without it.

To help him, return to Jipang and head north to the house in that area. Inside, the hammer is lying on the ground.

Note that the Forging Hammer only appears after defeating Baramos.

Ensure you've progressed far enough in the main story before moving on to this step.

Once you have the hammer, return to Kol to reunite the blacksmith with his lost tool.

Now that you have the Orichalcum, Broken Blade, and Forging Hammer, the blacksmith can reignite his love for smithing again.

He suggests fixing the Sword of Kings to thank you for reuniting him with his tools and giving him a purpose once more.

After a short cutscene, the Sword of Kings is restored to its full glory and handed to you free of charge.
