The '''silver shield''' is a recurring shield in the ''[[Dragon Quest]]'' series, typically second in defence only to the legendary shield of each respective title.
 
==Characteristics==
Inspired by the Aegis, the mythical shield Perseus used to protect himself from Medusa's stony gaze, the shield is made of mythril silver, freed from trace impurities through countless hours of refinement, and so perfectly crafted it is able to reflect images like a mirror. Older concept art has Medusa's reflection captured in the center of the shield and blue jewels embellished around the outside. In more recent depictions, the shield has become more round and features an intricate filigree design in the center. Due to its light weight and ease of use, many characters are able to equip it, such as spellcasters.

It can only be found by unlocking a door in the east side of Mercado and speaking to one of the merchants. The silver shield is the most expensive item in the game and is also the most protective shield as [[Erdrick's shield]] did not appear. Due to text restrictions in the Game Boy Color remake, the silver shield was renamed ''Silver'' with a symbol of a shield next to it.
