Restless armour

For the cursed armor from Dragon Quest V, see Restless armour (Equipment).

The restless armour is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series.

Introduced in Dragon Quest III, it is an empty suit of armour that has taken on a life of its own.

CharacteristicsEdit

Restless armours are simple blue suits of armour armed with a Sword and Shield. They are the souls of swordsmen who have returned to the mortal realm by possessing suits of armour to continue fighting, though some spin-offs ignore this established notion and have fun alluding to what could really be inside the plates of steel.

Typically a physical powerhouse, Restless armours will strike with their swords and occasionally deliver critical blows, regularly depicted as a full-force swing after the Restless armour's upper body winds back at the waist. While usually without magical abilities, they can often call Healslimes into the battle to undo any damage they took.

Restless armours have been shown to speak with a degree of nobility to their words, as one might expect of a knight. Their speech also tends to be interrupted by sudden 'clank!'s, possibly from their visors falling down or maybe simply due to their being nothing but clattering armor.

A Restless armour NPC appears at the end of Estark's Crypt along with Psaro after the defeat of Estark by the party, with Psaro shocked at what he saw. After a Minidemon tells Psaro about Rose's kidnapping, they leave the crypt. It does not have any dialogue in those cut scenes.

Though present in the original game, Restless armours couldn't be recruited until the remakes. In all versions of the game, there is a cursed suit of armor with the same name, which transforms the wearer into the monster until it is removed through benediction at a church. The Attack stat becomes 69, Defence 54, and Agility 43, and will not increase upon leveling up until removed.

Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket SlimeEdit

Restless armours first appear and can only be found in the game's final area, the Flying Clawtress. They can use their shields to block frontal attacks, though being struck once from behind will cause them to drop it and lose their defensive prowess. A Restless armour defeated outside of a tank battle will always drop a Steel broadsword if a lucky bag isn't produced.
