The '''liquid metal shield''' is a rather rare shield in the {{DQSeries}}, having been supplanted by the [[metal king shield]] in ''[[Dragon Quest V]]''. It is an immensely durable shield, easily among the top tier in each game it appears in. It bears the emblem of a [[liquid metal slime]] at the center.

The liquid metal shield is won as a prize from the [[tombola]] booth that opens up next to the nun at [[Cloudsgate Citadel]] after you defeat [[Xenlon]] and wish for it. It is theoretically possible to win four or more, though it would take a very long time, as the usual 10-roll gets you 10 green balls ([[Magic Water]]s). Fortunately, gold farming at the island west of [[Moonahan]] is very easy and quick, and tickets can be bought at Mersea at this point in the game for 777 gold (or 621 with a [[Loyalty Card]]).
 
==={{DQ4}}===
The liquid metal shield has a defence bonus of +60 and casts [[Snub]] when used as a tool in battle. In the remakes of ''IV'', it also cuts fire and ice breath damage by 40 points. In the NES version, players can obtain the shield for 50,000 coins at [[Endor]]'s casino, and can only be equipped by [[Borya]], [[Kiryl]], [[Maya]], and [[Meena]]. It is the most protective shield in the game, being even stronger than the [[Zenithian shield]]. However it is the most expensive shield in the game and requires many hours at the casino Poker game and it costs 200,000 coins total for 4 characters who can equip it.
 
In the DS, Android, and iOS versions, the liquid metal shield is no longer sold at Endor's casino, but there's only one shield in the game, and it can be only obtained from King Minikin for turning in 52 [[mini medal]]s. It can now be equipped by [[Ragnar]] and [[Psaro]].
