Royal Sword

The Royal Sword is a Holy based great sword which can be wielded by Jonathan Morris in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. It provides an ATK boost of +84, as well as +6 boosts in STR, INT and CON.
__TOC__
==Availability==
Given to the player by Wind after completing his "A Rank Hunter" quest. To accomplish this feat, the player must have defeated at least 1,500 enemies throughout the course of the game. An easy way to do this is to enter the Sandy Grave and defeat the constantly spawning Mummies in both rooms of the initial desert area.
==Characteristics==
The Royal Sword is one of the most powerful weapons the player can obtain at the moment its related quest first becomes available, due to its +6 boost to STR, INT and CON, added to its raw physical attack power of +84; not to mention it's also Holy based, which most enemies in the game are weak against. However, it's precisely due to this element that it's also very impractical for fighting Holy based enemies (Aliorumnas, Amalaric Sniper, Whip's Memory, etc.), as these will be able to withstand several more hits than normal before falling if attacked with this weapon.
This great sword is especially useful for the boss battle against Death in the Tower of Death, due to the large overhead arc it traces when swung, making it optimal for flying enemies and destroying oncoming projectiles, as well as the combination of its raw power with the Holy attribute.
Furthermore, equipping this weapon –even if it's not going to be mainly used for attacking– can also be used as an alternative method for Jonathan to raise his INT stat and thus increment the damage dealt by his non-physical based sub-weapon skills (such as Cream Pie); more so, since he's mainly designed as a physical fighting character and as such there are not many items he can acquire to raise this stat like Charlotte does.
