You’ll need to learn Unbridled Blade from the Greatswords tree to acquire it (Jade comes with Puff-Puff already learnt). Head to the tavern once you have the Pep Power to find a man overlooking the sea who wants you to defeat a Night Clubber with this ability. Unbridled Blade is dealing 290% to 310% your normal Attack damage, Sword Dance is 4 hits of 75%. Multifeet for Jade is 7 hits of 50%. These moves are exactly as good as that% of your normal attack damage would be, meaning you want Oomphle and Sap to spike the damage up.
Hendrik (グレイグ, Gureigu) is a character from Dragon Quest XI. He is the general of the Kingdom of Heliodor. Despite his antagonism towards the Luminary and his traveling companions early in the game, Hendrik eventually has a change of heart and joins the party as the Luminary's sworn shield.
In combat, Hendrik is capable of wielding both one-handed swords and greatswords, as well as axes and can even dual wield one-handed swords and axes.

Appearance and Personality[edit]
Hendrik is a tall and powerfully built man with sharp features and blue-green eyes. He has shoulder-length light purple hair with a single strand hanging over the left side of his face, as well as a goatee. As Heliodor's general, he wears an ornate suit of black knight's armor decorated with gold edges over chainmail and a black pair of pants. There is an insignia of a golden two-headed eagle, the symbol of Heliodor, emblazoned on the front of his breastplate. He wears a long black cape with red lining, which is attached to his armor and he carries a two-handed sword on his back in a scabbard.
When he joins the party, Hendrik eschews his black knight's armor, instead wearing a long padded tabard quartered sky blue and dark blue over a yellow turtleneck sweater, black trousers, and a pair of tall leather boots. He also wears a pair of leather gloves, and two leather belts, one around his waist and the other across his chest. Like the other party members, he is able to change his appearance with a variety of different costumes, including being able to wear his old Heliodorian set of armor.
Hendrik is known for his strong sense of duty and loyalty to the kingdom of Heliodor, and he is unrivaled in swordsmanship. He has defeated countless monsters in the service of his kingdom and is willing to lay down his life to protect his liege. He is childhood friends with both Jasper and Jade and spent his youth training in Puerto Valor under the tutelage of Don Rodrigo alongside Sylvando. Hendrik was shocked to discover that his fellow trainee had become a traveling performer rather than a knight like himself. According to Sylvando, Hendrik was not innately talented in swordsmanship and trained diligently day and night in order to achieve his skill.
Despite his serious personality, Hendrik also has a secret perverted side, as he is a connoisseur of the Ogler's Digest series of magazines, much like Rab. His horse is a large black stallion named Obsidian.

Etymology[edit]
Hendrik's Japanese name, Graig, is a variation on the name Greg, itself is a shortened form of the English name Gregory. It is the English form of the Latin Gregorius, from the Late Greek name Γρηγόριος (Gregorios), which meant 'watchful, alert'. This is fitting as Hendrik's role as both the general of Helidior and as the sworn shield of the Luminary. Hendrik is the Dutch and Estonian cognate of the English name Henry. Henry is derived from the Germanic name Heinrich which meant 'home ruler'.

Unbridled Blade is a greatsword skill in the Dragon Quest series that charges the user's sword with an aura of light that deals high damage to a single target. Stylistically, it is similar to the full-power Hatchet Man swing, but is more controlled and does not suffer an accuracy penalty.

Dq11 Night Clubber
The Luminary and Hendrik can learn the skill through their respective character building boards, and it costs 16 MP to perform. When used, the two men charge their blades with a golden glow and perform a heavy overhead slash that deals 290%~310% damage. Despite the visual effect implying otherwise, the skill does not use the light-element that the Bang spells do and uses the regular damage calculation.
