Appearances
Dragon Quest V
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, 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.
Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation
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, Carver, Amos, Terry, Lizzie, and all slime allies can equip it. Loss leaders have a 1/256 chance of dropping it. It is obtained from Medford's Manor after turning in 70 Mini medals.
