The '''metal king helm''' is a recurring helmet in the {{DQSeries}}. It features an emblem of a [[metal king slime]] on the front. This helmet is frequently one of the most, if not the most, protective pieces of headwear in each game in terms of raw durability and frequently offers protection against various [[status effect]]s to the wearer.


The '''Metal King Helm''' is a helmet equipment item in the ''[[Dragon Quest series|Dragon Quest]]'' series.
==Appearances==
==={{DQ5}}===
The metal king helm has a {{Defence}} bonus of +70. There is only a single one in the entire game, which can be found in a {{chest}} in [[Mt. Zugzwang]]. The {{Hero 5}}, [[Bianca Whitaker]], {{Parry}}, [[Sancho]], and [[Tuppence]] can equip it, as well as many recruitable monsters. It can be sold for 22500 [[gold]] coins in the {{Super Famicom}} version, and 15000 [[gold]] coins in the remakes, though as it is the strongest helmet for many characters it is not recommended to sell it.
 
==={{DQ6}}===
The metal king helm has a defence bonus of +70 and a {{Style}} bonus of +38. Wearing it also protects from status and instant death attacks. The {{Hero 6}}, [[Carver]], [[Amos]], [[Terry]], [[Lizzie]], and all slime allies can equip it. [[Loss leader]]s have a 1/256 chance of dropping it. It is obtained from [[Medal King's Palace#Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation|Medford's Manor]] after turning in 70 [[Mini medal]]s.
 
==={{DQ7}}===
The metal king helm has a defence bonus of +60, a style bonus of +38 and the same status protection as in ''VI''. The {{Hero 7}}, [[Ruff]], [[Sir Mervyn]], and [[Aishe]] can equip it. It can be sold for 10,000 [[gold]] coins.
 
==={{DQ8}}===
The metal king helm has a defence bonus of +55. Every party member can wear it. It can be sold for 10,000 [[gold]] coins. Princess [[Minnie]] gives it to you when you give her 90 [[Mini medal]]s. Wearing it increases resistance to [[Fizzle]], [[Fuddle]], [[Snooze]], and [[Whack]].
 
==={{DQ9}}===
In this game, the helmet, along with the other pieces of [[metal king slime]] equipment, must be fully upgraded from their [[metal slime]] forms using [[Alchemy]].
