1. Sword of Rubis: The God of Thunder's ultimate weapon that wipes out enemy groups with MP Zero Giga Rain

Rubis' Sword is a weapon that reigns at the top of the tool-use equipment in Dragon Quest 2 Remake. In addition to its attack power of 206, which makes it the strongest class in the final stages, when used as a tool, it is exceptional in that it can deal massive lightning-based damage equivalent to Giga Rain without consuming MP. Normally, Giga Rain is a high-cost spell that requires 24 MP, but this allows it to be fired infinitely, making it an invincible counter to swarms of small enemies and bosses who repeatedly fire their breath.

A complete step-by-step guide to how to get it

To obtain Rubis' Sword, you must defeat Shinryu at the “Mysterious Tower” after clearing the main story. The recommended level is Lv50 or higher, equip your entire party with Roto equipment, and take on the challenge with full MP. Below are the detailed steps.

1. Clear the main story and release the mysterious tower: Defeat the Dragon King and reach the ending. After saving with clear data, load the save data instead of New Game Plus and continue.
2. Reach the Mysterious Tower: Enter the Mysterious Tower near Loresia Castle. There are many strong enemies inside the tower, so be sure to carry multiple Philosopher's Stones and Elixir.
3. Shinryu Battle: Your wish will come true if you win the first time. If you select “I want a strong weapon,'' you will receive the Ruby Sword. There is no turn limit for the first time, but from the second time onwards, you will be required to defeat the enemy within 15 turns, so be sure to prepare in advance.
   • Strategy Tips: Put a debuff on the main character with Roto's Dragon Sword, have Prince Samartria do repeated physical attacks, and have the two princesses take charge of Behomara and Bikilt. Please use Lucani to immediately nullify Shinryu's attack.

You can aim for other rewards in multiple laps, but the Sword of Rubis is the top priority. The difficulty level to obtain it is intermediate, but once you get it, the game will change dramatically.

Attack power	+206 (can be equipped on all characters)
Effect of tool use	Massive lightning damage to all enemies (equivalent to Giga Rain, enhanced compared to previous work)

In the remake version, the amount of damage has been significantly increased compared to the old FC version, and its appeal is its ability to wipe out groups of enemies with low lightning resistance in one blow. In boss battles, it shines as a weak attribute.

Actual use situations and optimal operation methods

• Small fry processing: While exploring a dungeon, annihilate a formation of 5 enemies in one turn. It is strong in long battles by conserving MP.
• Boss battle: During the rematch with Atlas and Belial, he will release a pre-emptive Giga Rain as a countermeasure against Breath. It is also effective for summoning small fry in the latter half of the Dragon King battle.
• Post-clear content: Clear areas with high enemy density in the depths of the Infinite Corridor at high speed. Contributes to shortening the turns for Shinryu rematch.

Combination example:

• When equipped with Roto's helmet: Increases lightning attribute damage by 20% and increases giga rain firepower.
• Skill “Full Body Slash” + Biquilt: After strengthening the normal attack, switch tools to wipe out the entire target.
• Princess's Giga Slash: The single firepower and overall balance are perfect.

As examples of players, there are many reports of players clearing the 50th floor of the Infinite Corridor in 30 minutes with a Lv55 party using Ruby's Sword repeatedly. The pleasure of eliminating the stress of MP management is exceptional.

By reliably reviving dead allies, the stability of battle will be dramatically improved.

Detailed explanation of acquisition route

You can get it relatively early, from the “Etrian Odyssey” treasure chest in the middle of the story. It is highly accessible and does not require a magic key, and can be easily obtained even by beginners.
