The '''Erdrick Equipment''' is a set of powerful and crucially important items from the original [[Erdrick trilogy|trilogy]] of games. The equipment consists of the sword, shield, armour and helmet belonging to the legendary hero [[Erdrick]].


==Appearances==
In the first two games the items bare Erdrick's name as a part of his iconography, but in Dragon Quest III each piece has a distinct name: the Sword of Kings, Auroral armor, and Hero's shield. No Helmet exclusive for the hero existed in the original 8-bit version, but subsequent releases have added Ortega's helmet to fill in the gap.

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%, nullify the toxicity of bogs, and will restore 1 HP for every step taken.

====Erdrick's sword====
{{Descriptions
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 confrontation much easier.

====Helmet and Shield====
==={{DQ2}}===
These two items are not present in the original ''Dragon Quest'', presumably because the shield was left in [[Torland]] instead of [[Alefgard]], as well as the fact that there are no helmets in the game at all anyway.
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]].

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.

==={{DQ9}}===
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 Midenhall's defence by +30.

====Erdrick's sword====
===''[[Dragon Quest Builders]]''===
The sword is once again found in Charlock castle, left there by the previous hero. Unlike the Armour, no one has attempted to restore the sword to its original glory, and adds +40 attack as before.
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 Builders0|Builder's]] defence by +30 and renders them immune to poison and lava.


The sword can only be equipped by the Prince of Midenhall in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]], while the [[Prince of Cannock]] can also equip the sword in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SF]] and all ports of the remake after.

====Auroral Armour====
==={{DQ}}===
Found in the [[Tower West of Kol]], the radiant suit of mail will add +85 (+75 in the original) to the hero's defence, as well as the extra protection granted in the previous titles.  
Helmets are included with armor in the game's illustrations, and as such Erdrick's helmet is drawn as part of the armor.
==={{DQ2}}===
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.


====Ortega's Helmet====
{{Descriptions
When the player reaches the town of [[Muor]], they will witness a cutscene of a young boy mistaking the hero for their [[Ortega|father]]. After speaking with the villagers and learning of boy's attachment to Ortega, as well as the man's affect on the town as a whole, they can speak with the boy to receive the memento he left behind. In the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SF]] version, the helmet will add +30 defence, but offer no protection against debilitative magic. In the [[Game Boy|GBC]], however, the helmet will reduce the chance of being afflicted by [[snooze]], [[dazzle]], and [[sap]] by 50%. This aspect was removed in the subsequent mobile phone release.

This aspect was removed in the subsequent mobile phone release.


====Hero's Shield====
The helmet doesn't exist in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version. In its place is a novelty item called the [[water blaster]].  
The 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.


====Sword of Kings====
==={{DQ9}}===
Legendary 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 restored, 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.

For a time, rusty pieces were also available on the [[DQVC]], allowing the player to make more than one set of Erdrick's legendary armour. This also marks the first time gauntlets are included, as hands are a new equipment slot in the game. However, there is no corresponding lower body armour or boots.

In the first two games the items bare Erdrick's name as a part of his iconography, but in Dragon Quest III each piece has a distinct name: the Sword of Kings, Auroral armor, and Hero's shield. No Helmet exclusive for the hero existed in the original 8-bit version, but subsequent releases have added Ortega's helmet to fill in the gap.

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation

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 thunderclap when used as an item in battle.

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.

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 gauntles 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.
