The most powerful armour in the seminal game by far, it is located in the ruined town of [[Damdara]] and guarded by a [[Knight Aberrant| nasty knight]]. When equipped it adds +28 to the player's defence, reduces magic and breath damage by 33%, nullifies the toxicity of bogs, and will restore 1 HP for every step taken. | |||

The mail is found in the third floor of the [[Cave to Rendarak|chasm leading to Rendarak]], in the bottom-rightmost section of the floor near a set of stairs. Donning it grants +70 defence this time, along with the expected 33% reduction to breath and magic and harsh terrain immunity but no longer recovers HP while walking. It may be equipped only by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest II)|Prince of Midenhall]]. | |||

Helmets are included with armor in the game's illustrations, and as such Erdrick's helmet is drawn as part of the armor. | |||

The helmet is gained by exchanging the Emblem of Erdrick in the [[Sanctum|shrine]] southwest of [[Tantegel Castle]]. It grants the Prince of Midenhall +20 defence. | |||

Erdrick's shield is found in the castle of [[Cannock]], watched over by an old sage in the center of the building's pond. The [[Golden Key]] is required to enter the tiny islet. Once obtained, the shield will boost the Prince of Midenhall's defence by +30. | |||

==Erdrick's sword== | |||
==={{DQ}}=== | |||
The legendary blade is found in [[Charlock Castle]], off of the path to the [[Dragonlord]]. Equipping it grants the player +40 attack, a substantial boost from the [[Flame Sword]]'s +28. Certain third-party documentation claims that the sword is the only weapon that can cut the despot's scales, but this is completely false. That being said, it is strongly advised to acquire the blade to make the final confrontation much easier. | |||

Whoever pre-ordered the 3DS version of the game in Japan obtained the code to download Erdrick's sword. In game, the sword must be reforged in the [[Alchemy Pot]] to reach its true potential. '''Ye Olde Sword of Erdrick''' became available to download for international players on February 24, 2017. It has an attack bonus of +20 and can be equipped by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|Hero]], as well as [[Jessica]] and [[Red]] if they have enough skill points in Knives. After the sword has been reforged, '''Erdrick's sword''' has an attack bonus of +120, being second to the [[Dragovian king sword]] and the most powerful sword for both Jessica and Red. | |||

===''[[Dragon Quest Builders 2]]''=== | |||
Erdrick's sword is the most powerful weapon, increasing the Builder's attack by +118. It takes three orichalcum ingots, two steel ingots, one gold ingot, one zenithium chunk, and one phial of silvery sludge. | |||
===''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''=== | |||
The Sword of Kings is the weapon the [[Hero (Super Smash Bros.)|Hero]] uses if the player selects the protagonist of the third game. | |||
==Auroral armour ({{tt|ひかりのよろい|hikari no yoroi}} ''Armor of Light'')== | |||
==={{DQ3}}=== | |||
The auroral armor is found in the third floor of the [[Tower West of Kol]], the radiant suit of mail will add +85 (+75 in the original) to the hero's defence, cuts breath/magic damage by 1/3rd, and recovers 1 HP per step. | |||
=== | ===''[[Dragon Quest Builders]]''=== | ||
The auroral armor is available for to players in chapter 5, and requires three chunks of zenithium, two ingots of orichalcum, one gold ingot, one ruby, two pelts of fine fur, and a length of cord to assemble. It increases the [[Builder (Dragon Quest Builders)|Builder's]] defence by +30 and renders them immune to poison and lava. | |||
=== | ===''[[Dragon Quest Builders 2]]''=== | ||
The three | The armor increase defence by +30 as before, but now requires three chunks of zenithium, two ingots of orichalcum, two gold ingots, and one ruby to forge. | ||
==={{ | ==Ortega's helmet ({{tt|オルテガのかぶと|orutega no kabuto}})== | ||
==={{DQ3}}=== | |||
The helmet is only available in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SF]] version and subsequent remakes, and originally belonged to [[Ortega]]. It is found in the village of [[Mur]] and can be sold for 6,150 gold coins. The helmet will add +30 defence, but offer no protection against debilitating magic except in the [[Game Boy|GBC]] version, where it will reduce the chance of being afflicted by [[snooze]], [[dazzle]], and [[sap]] by 50%. This aspect was removed in the subsequent mobile phone release due to being a port of the SNES version, but most players will not notice and keep it equipped for sentimental reasons. | |||
The helmet doesn't exist in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version. In its place is a novelty item called the [[water blaster]]. | |||
The | |||
== | ==Hero's shield ({{tt|ゆうしゃのたて|yūsha no tate}})== | ||
===[[ | ==={{DQ3}}=== | ||
The Hero's shield is located in the [[Nail Mark]] north by northwest of Tantengel castle. When equipped, it will boost the hero's defence by +65, and reduce magic/breath damage by 33%. When both the shield and armour are equipped, the shield's reduction properties will take effect after the armour's. | |||
===''[[Dragon Quest Builders]]''=== | |||
The hero's shield can be forged in chapter five of the game, and takes two chunks of zenithium, a gold ingot, one ruby, two steel ingots, and two blocks of wood to assemble. It increases the Builder's defence by +16 and has no special effects. | |||
===''[[Dragon Quest Builders 2]]''=== | |||
The Hero's shield raises the Builder's defence by +32, and requires two bits of zenithium, one ruby, one gold ingot, and two steel ingots to forge. | |||
==Sword of Kings ({{tt|おうじゃのけん|ōja no ken}})== | |||
==={{DQ3}}=== | |||
Legendary since long before the events of ''Dragon Quest III'', it is said that it took [[Zoma]] three years to sunder the blade in twain. Because of this, the player must first locate a piece of [[Orichalcum]] and a smith of godly skill in order to restore the weapon. Once reforged, the Sword of Kings will boost the hero's attack by +120, and will deafen a group of enemies with an earth-shaking [[Kaswoosh|thunderclap]] when used as an item in battle. | |||
==={{DQ11}}=== | |||
The Sword of Kings is available in the post-game. In Hotto, there is a blacksmith that wishes to forge the sword, and needs Orichalcum to do so. Once given the material, the blacksmith starts forging the sword and asks the player to return later (one in-game day) for it. The Sword of Kings will then become available in the item shop and costs 35,000 gold. It has an attack bonus of +120 and a charm bonus of +32. It deals wind damage when used as an item. It cannot be upgraded. | |||
The Sword of Kings is one of the ingredients needed to craft the Supreme Sword of Light. | |||
===[[ | ===''[[Dragon Quest Builders]]''=== | ||
The sword of kings is available in chapter 5 of the game, and requires three lumps of Orichalcum, two steel ingots, one gold ingot, one silver ingot, and a drop of magic dye. It increases the Builder's attack by +50, and does not wear down with use like other weapons. | |||
===''[[Dragon Quest Builders 2]]''=== | |||
The sword increases the Builder's attack by +86, and requires three orichalcum ingots, one zenithium ingot, one gold ingot, and two silver ingots to forge. | |||
==Miscellaneous== | |||
===Sacred Amulet=== | |||
Exclusive to Dragon Quest III, the amulet is given to the hero by [[Rubiss]] and will grant +30 [[luck]], along with ''complete'' immunity to instant death and [[kamikazee]]. | |||
== | ===Erdrick's gauntlets=== | ||
As Dragon Quest IX has split armor into three categories, the gauntlets that originally came with the auroral armor have become their own equipment for the game. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
*The iconography of Erdrick bears a distinct resemblance to [[Ramia]], appearing on the sword, shield, and armor of legend. Even the hero's emblem bears Ramia's visage, likely owning to her significance in ''III's'' chain of events. | |||
