The Flame Shield is a recurring shield in the Dragon Quest series which first appeared in Dragon Quest V. In its first three appearances in the series, it offered protection against ice attacks, but after VIII it was changed to offer protection against fire attacks.

Appearances

The flame shield has a defence bonus of +40, and reduces damage from ice spells and skills by 15. It may be equipped by the Hero (Dragon Quest V), Parry, and Tuppence. It is sold for 17,000 in Faerie Lea and Precaria.

The flame shield offers a defense bonus of +34, reduces fire damage by 10, and casts a form of Insulatle that only cuts flames when used as an item in battle. Why the sudden change in parameters is unknown, possibly to highlight the existence of the Ice shield.
