Sphere of Silence

Official art of the Ball of Silence

The Ball of Silence or Orb of Silence is a key item in Dragon Quest IV. When used as an item in battle, it prevents the enemy party from using magic, presumably by restricting their ability to speak and thus voice the correct incantations for spells; however, it does not work on most bosses.

Mara and Nara first discover it in Gupta Gupha during Chapter 4, where it proves very useful against Balzack and others. However, they lose it after being defeated by Keeleon.

After confronting and defeating Sir Roseguardin in Chapter 5, the party regains the Ball of Silence.

Trivia

There are several ways to miss getting the item in Chapter 5 completely:

• Defeating Estark before encountering Sir Roseguardin will result in him not being in the Rosehill Tower.
• During the battle, Sir Roseguardin will summon a Chillanodon. If he is defeated before Chillanodon, then The Hero will not obtain the Ball.
