The '''ruinous shield''' is a recurring shield in the ''Dragon Quest'' series. This [[cursed]] black shield features an ominous design on the front. True to its name, equipping this shield will typically cause the wearer to take increased damage from many sources. In later games, it is possible to remove the curse from the shield with the use of [[Alchemy]] and some [[Saint's ashes]].

==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest V]]''===
The ruinous shield is cursed and will set the wearer's defence to 0. They can bought on the Nadiria T'N'T board for 4,200 gold in the remakes.

===''[[Dragon Quest VI]]''===
The Shield can be found for sale in Greedmore for 5,300 gold.

===''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''===

===''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''===
The ruinous shield is cursed and will increase damage taken from elemental attacks. It can be sold for 2,900 gold or be turned into a [[Metal king shield]] in the [[Alchemy Pot]]. The shield is rarely dropped by [[Hell's gatekeeper (recurring)|Hell's gatekeeper]]s, and can also be found in a chest on the [[Dark Ruins]] Island, only accessible with the [[Godbird's soulstone]]. In the 3DS version, another shield can be obtained in [[Memories Lane]].

Recipe: Metal King Shield = Ruinous Shield + [[Orichalcum]] + [[Saint's ashes]].
