The '''Dieamend''' is a recurring item in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{Dragon Quest III}}. It is a special stone that will negate the effect of an instant death spell for the holder. If a character is targeted by [[Whack]] or [[Thwack]] and possesses this stone in their inventory, the stone will take the instant death spell in place of the user, and shatters afterward. In some games, it is used as a crafting material instead and does not possess its instant death-cancelling properties.
