The '''liquid metal helm''' is a recurring helmet in the {{DQSeries}} that features an emblem of a [[Liquid metal slime]] on the front. It is a high-level helmet that is typically one of the most protective pieces of headwear in the game and offers considerable protection against status effects to the wearer-the exact ailments vary between titles. It is occasionally the mid-point in the upgrade cycle of the [[metal slime helm]] and the [[metal king helm]], but other times it is a separate piece of equipment.

The liquid metal helm is the best helmet in the game, with a defense bonus of +92, and can be equipped by all four [[Scions of Erdrick]]. It can be won at the [[tombola]] stand that opens up at [[Cloudsgate Citadel]] after you beat [[Xenlon]] and make a wish for it. It is theoretically possible to win one for the whole family, though the average 10-roll gets you 10 green balls ([[magic water]]s) and save-scumming is strongly encouraged.
