The '''duplic hat''' is a rare helmet that allows in-battle spells to echo and be cast twice. Due to its incredible potential, it is exceedingly hard to come by in all its appearances.

In the {{SFC}} version, the hat increases {{Defence}} by +25 and can be found in the bowels of [[Mt. Zugzwang]] and is dropped by the [[Wrecktor (Dragon Quest V)|Wrecktor]] at a rate of 1/128. {{Bianca}} and {{Madchen}} can equip it, along with a handful of {{MFamilies}}s.

The hat has been removed entirely from the {{PS2}}, {{DS}}, and [[Cell phone]] device versions.

==={{DQ6}}===
The hat fortunately appears in all versions of {{VI}}, increasing {{Defence}} by +25 and {{Style}} by just +2. It may be donned by [[Milly]], [[Ashlynn]], [[Nevan]], and the {{Slime}} buddies. The [[pudgedevil]] and [[metal king slime]] drop the hat at a rate of 1/256, meaning that even with a whole team of [[Thief|Thieves]] would only have a 3.125% chance to swipe one. Fortunately, one can be found in a {{chest}} hidden away in [[Reaper's Peak]].

==={{DQ7}}===
It increases {{Defense}} by 25 points, and {{Style}} points by 2. It can be found in a [[treasure chest]] in the [[Cave to Yet Another World]]. It also has a 1/128th chance of being dropped by the [[Hirsute hexer (Dragon Quest VII)|hirsute hexer]], who appears in the same dungeon. {{Maribel}}, [[Ruff]] and [[Sir Mervyn]] can equip it. It can be sold for 3850 [[gold]] coins.

==={{DQ9}}===
The cap does not appear in {{IX}}, but its effects are replicated by the secret [[Twocus Pocus]] skill a [[Sage]] can use after placing the Sage's Scripture scroll in their inventory.
