The '''Zenithian Equipment''' is a set of critical items in ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''. They are a set of legendary armour and weapons said to be necessary to defeat the King of Hell; they are also the keys to [[Zenithia]], as one must be equipped with all four pieces to open the door to the [[Tower of Heaven]]. However, only the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Chosen Hero]] is capable of wearing them, making him instrumental in the overthrow of [[Estark]] and later [[Psaro]].

The '''Zenithian Equipment''' is a set of crucial items in ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]'', ''[[Dragon Quest V]]'' and ''[[Dragon Quest VI]]''. Only the legendary hero can equip them, and the story cannot advance until the entire set is obtained.


==Zenithian Armour==
==''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''==
===Zenithian Armour===
The armour is likely the first piece to be acquired by players. It is found in the cave north of the [[Medal King's Palace]]. In the original [[NES]] version it reduces breath attacks and spell damage by {{fraction|1|3}}, while in the remakes it raises resistance to [[Whack|instant death]] while reducing spell damage (save for [[zap]]) by {{fraction|1|3}}. In all versions it has a defence value of +70.

==Zenithian Helm==
===Zenithian Helm===
The Helm is found in [[Canalot]], in its king's possession. He holds a competition stipulating that anyone who can make him laugh will win the Helm. The party travels to [[Laissez Fayre]] to recruit comedian [[Tom Foolery]] to the cause, expecting him to unleash one of his funniest jokes on the king; instead, he delivers an impassioned speech about evil on the rise and then necessity of the Chosen to defeat it. The king is convinced and gives up the Helm.

The king is convinced and gives up the Helm. It increases the Hero's defence by 30 in all versions, and cuts the accuracy of [[fuddle]], [[snooze]], and paralysis to {{fraction|1|3}} in the remakes. In the original, is grants no such protection.


==Zenithian Shield==
====In-game Description====
On a tip from a poet in Canalot, the party heads to [[Burland]], only to find that the king gave it away to the queen of [[Femiscyra]] (a beautiful woman) many years ago. They travel to a small kingdom east of Burland, however, and after being accused of robbery, they are tasked with finding the real criminal if they want to clear their names. They successfully track down the real robber, clear their names, and are rewarded with the Shield for their hard work.

They successfully track down the real robber, clear their names, and are rewarded with the shield for their hard work. The shield increases the Hero's defence by 55 and casts bounce when used as an item in battle. In the remakes, it reduces the power of breath attacks by 30 points.

===Zenithian Sword===
After acquiring the [[balloon]] and traveling to the [[World Tree (Dragon Quest IV)|World Tree]], they find a fallen [[Zenithian]] named [[Orifiela]], who points them to the sword. It has a base power of 65 when first acquired. After speaking with the [[Zenith Dragon]], the ancient guardian will empower the sword to 110. Using it as an item in battle casts [[Disruptive Wave]].

==''Dragon Quest V''==
===Zenithian Sword===
The sword was already located by [[Pankraz]] sometime before the start of the game. He left it in a cache in the [[Whealbrook Adit]], which his [[Hero (Dragon Quest V)|son]] later recovered. The sword's power has not changed, and it will cast [[Disruptive Wave]] when used as an item.
 
===Zenithian Shield===
The shield came into the possession of [[Rodrigo Briscoletti]], who is willing to give it to any suitor that takes his daughter [[Nera]]'s hand in marriage. Regardless of whom ends up being chosen as the bride, though, Mr. Brisccoletti gives the hero the shield. It improves defence by 60 this time, reduces breath damage by 15 points, and casts [[Bounce]] when used in battle.
 
===Zenithian Helm===
The helm is being kept in a vault at [[Helmunaptra]] by Queen Cleohatra, who is awaiting the arrival of the legendary hero. It improves defence by 50, but grants no resistance to status ailments.
 
===Zenithian Armour===
The armour is stored in a side room in the entrance to [[Crocodilopolis]], and the [[Ultimate Key]] is needed to retrieve it. When worn, it improves defence by 85 points, and reduces magic and breath damage by 30 points.
 
==''Dragon Quest VI''==
[[File:Armour of Orgo.png|right|thumb|130px|The Armour of Orgo. Note the absence of draconic accents the armor is known for.]]
===Sword of Ramias===
The sword is found in Everfrost, but it has long since rusted. To restore it to its former glory, the party must enlist the help of Welda in Turnscote. When rusted the sword adds +63 to the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VI)|Hero's]] attack stat and +12 to his style, and +130 and +32 after Welda restores it. The sword can be further improved by visiting the Fashion Forge beneath the waves, which can raise the strength and style to +135 and +52 after the first reforging, and +145 and +70 after the final improvement. After being restored, the sword will deal bonus [[Zap]] damage after each attack, totaling to 50% of the damage deal before magic resistance is applied.
 
===Shield of Valora===
The shield is found in the Cryptic Catacombs, which must be entered through an undersea grotto. When equipped, the shield reduces [[crack]] and freezing breath weapons by 30 points, casts bounce when used as an item, increases the hero's defence by +65, and improves his style by +35.
 
===Helm of Sebath===
The helm is bestowed to the party by the King of Somnia after his son reunites with his real world counterpart. It adds +45 defence and +24 style when first obtained, and +50 and +45 after visiting the Fashion Forge. In both cases it bestows high resistance to [[whack]] and other instant death attacks.
 
===Armour of Orgo===
The armour is found under the ruins of Castle Graceskull. When donned, it reduces [[frizz]], [[sizz]], [[bang]], and fire breath by 35 points, restores 1HP for every 8 steps, and improves the hero's defence and style by +80 and +32. When reworked by the master at the Fashion Forge, the armour's defence and style are raised to +100 and +80, respectively.
 
==Other Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''===
In the 3DS version, the wolf that [[Ruff]] rides will be wearing a Zenithian helm if he is currently in the [[Hero (Class)|Hero]] vocation.
