Quest for the Mighty Sword (aka Ator 4, and Troll 3) is the fourth and final film in the Ator film series, although it is regarded as the third film by the series' creator, Joe D'Amato, who disowned Ator 3: Iron Warrior which was the only film in the series not directed by D'Amato.

Joe D'Amato was reportedly displeased with Brescia's approach to his character, and so re-took control of the franchise in 1988. In 1990, D'Amato released the final Ator film, Quest for the Mighty Sword, which featured the adventures of the Son of Ator. It was released in Europe and the United States under a variety of titles including: Ator III: The Hobgoblin (indicating D'Amato's personal disregard for the previous film), Ator 4: Quest for the Mighty Sword, and Hobgoblin. Here, Eric Allan Kramer plays the son of Ator (who has been killed at the start of this film); this is the only film in the series not to feature Miles O'Keeffe in the role.

"Fans" of D'Amato often note that the "hobgoblin" from this film is a reused goblin suit from Troll 2.
In some communities, The film is also known as Troll 3 despite another film also known as Troll 3 having the same name and co-directed by D'Amato.

Synopsis

When Ator is killed, many years later his son looks for his sword. Once upon a time a god gave a mighty sword to the king of Aquiles to bring justice to his people. Now he wants it back - but the king rather gives his life than the sword. Goddess Dehamira, who spoke for him, is being taken all her privileges and banned in a circle of fire, until a human arrives who's strong enough to free her. When prince Ator becomes 18, he gets the sword from the mean sorcerer gnome Grindl, to free Dehamira and his people. On his journey he has to fight against dragons and other fantastic figures.
