The legendary blade is found in [[Dragonlord's Castle]], off of the path to the [[Dragonlord]]. Equipping it grants the player +40 {{Attack}}, a substantial boost from the [[Flame sword]]'s +28, though unlike the Flame sword it can neither do extra damage nor be used as a tool in combat. Certain third-party documentation claims that the sword is the only weapon that can cut the despot's scales, but this is completely false. That being said, it is strongly advised to acquire the blade to make the final confrontation much easier.

The sword is once again found in the [[Dragonlord's Castle]], left there by the previous {{Hero 1}}. Unlike the armour, no one has attempted to restore the sword to its original glory, and the +40 {{Attack}} bonus means it will not be effective during the game's finale.
Erdrick's sword has an {{Attack}} bonus of +40 and can only be equipped by the [[Prince of Midenhall]] in the NES version, but can be equipped by the [[Prince of Cannock]] in all remake versions. Once again, it can be found in the [[Dragonlord's Castle]]. In this game, it is no longer the most powerful weapon, its attack power being surpassed by other weapons.


The sword can only be equipped by the {{Prince of Midenhall}} in the {{NES}}, while the [[Prince of Cannock]] can also equip the sword in the {{SFC}} and all ports of the remake after.
