Headsman's axe

The Headsman's axe (originally localized as the Demon Axe) is a recurring weapon in the Dragon Quest series. It is a ferocious-looking axe that provides melee-oriented characters with considerable boon in the late-game part of their journey. It is the first of the low-accuracy-but-powerful category of weapons, but remains unique among its brethren in that it still has a relatively high hit-rate, unlike that of Hela's hammer.

Appearances

Dragon Quest III

Found in the Castle of Baramos, the Headsman's axe gives an attack bonus of +90 to Warriors, and will land a critical hit exactly 12% of the time. A chance to miss the target entirely, also 12%, balances this out.

It can be sold for 375 gold coins.
