The &#039;&#039;&#039;ruinous shield&#039;&#039;&#039; is a recurring shield in the &#039;&#039;Dragon Quest&#039;&#039; 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&#039;s ashes]].&lt;br /&gt;

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 the [[Metal king shield]] in the [[Alchemy Pot]] when combined with an [[Orichalcum]] and [[Saint&#039;s ashes]]. The shield is rarely dropped by [[Hell&#039;s gatekeeper]]s.&lt;br /&gt;

It can be found in a chest on [[Dark Ruins]] Island, only accesable with &#039;Fly&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
