The '''Titan belt''' is a strength boost accessory ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''.
The '''titan belt''' is a recurring accessory in the {{DQSeries}} which first appeared in the [[Super Famicom]] version of ''[[Dragon Quest III]]''.

==Localization history==
The titan belt is an accessory that boosts attack by +10. It can also be mixed with the [[Strength ring]] through the [[Alchemy pot]] to make a [[Mighty armlet]].
The Japanese name パワーベルト (power belt) was first localized into English in 2005 as the titan belt for the international release of {{Dragon Quest VIII}}. The term would then be replaced in 2014 with the [[weightlifter's belt]] for the Android/iOS port of {{Dragon Quest III}} before reverting back to the titan belt name for {{Dragon Quest Heroes}} and retaining it hence forth for subsequent games. As it stands now the weightlifter's belt name only appears in iterations of ''Dragon Quest III''.
