The Sword of Kings (Japanese: おうじゃのつるぎ Sword of kings) is a weapon appearing in EarthBound that can be equipped by Poo. It is an extremely rare item only obtainable as a drop. It has a 1 in 128 (0.78125%) chance of being dropped by a Starman Super in the Stonehenge Base. The Sword of Kings improves Poo's Offense by 30.

Notes[]

The sword of kings in the Earthbound player's guide.

  • Equipping the Casey Bat makes it somewhat easier to get the Sword of Kings due to a higher chance of scoring Instant Wins.
  • If the party's average level is about 62, getting a back attack on a single Starman Super will insta-kill it.

Trivia[]

  • The Sword of kings is the most infamous 1/128 drop item due to being the only weapon in the game that raises Poo's offense. He can equip yo-yos and slingshots, though those types of weapons lower his chances of landing an attack. Since Poo's regular attack is pretty weak at this point in the game, the Sword of Kings is exceptionally better, though not immensely necessary.
  • Poo's attack command is still "Bash" when equipped with the Sword of Kings despite that you don't bash with a sword. It makes more sense in the Japanese version, where the command in question is "Strike".
  • The Sword of Kings could be a reference to Dragon Quest's Sword of Kings.
