The '''Tempest shield''' is a recurring [[shield]] in the {{DQSeries}}, first introduced in {{DQ4}}.

Engraved with the face of a furious god, it blows away whole swaths of enemies with the strength of Zephyrus himself. While several guides state that the shield casts [[Poof]] on all enemies, the effect actually uses [[Whack]]'s instant death element to check enemy resistance. The confusion comes from the fact that enemies blown away do not give {{exp}}erience or [[gold]].

The Tempest shield has a {{Defence}} bonus of +50 and will attempt to blow away all enemies when used as an item in the {{NES}} version and a single group in the remakes. Found in [[Diabolic Hall]], and can only be equipped by {{Ragnar}} and the {{Hero 4}}.

The Tempest shield has a {{Defence}} bonus of +35, cuts breath damage by 10, and blows away all enemies when used as an item. It can be equipped by the {{Hero 5}}, {{Parry}}, [[Sancho]], and select monster recruits. It is sold in [[Gotha]] for 4,700 {{Gold}}.

The Tempest shield has a {{Defence}} bonus of +32, a {{Style}} bonus of +18, and casts [[Poof]] when used as a tool in battle. It can be purchased from [[Nottagen]] in the present and [[Aeolus Vale]] and can be equipped by the {{Hero 7}} and [[Aishe]]. It can also be dropped rarely by [[Damned well]]s and [[Cumulus nix]] in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version from ''The Depths of Darkness'' [[DLC Tablet]]. If the Tempest shield is equipped with the [[Sunderbolt blade]] when being ranked for the Best Dressed category of the [[Excellence Grading Organisation]], they provide an additional +35 bonus to {{Style}}.

The Tempest shield is exclusive to the {{3DS}} and {{Definitive Edition}} versions of the game, where it is the reward for fixing the [[Flute of Revelation]] that was broken by a cursed [[Sir Roseguardin]] in the [[Echo Chamber]].

The recipe for the Tempest shield is found on Iridescent Isle and is the reward for defeating the super-strong version of the [[Cumaulus]]. It increases {{Defence}} by +18, and requires three iron ingots, one gold ingot, and one chunk of mythril to forge.

*In the original Japanese version of the game, the Tempest shield is known as the ''Fujin's shield'', named after the god of wind from Shinto mythology. In earlier English translations, the shield was named the Aeolus shield after the keeper of the wind from Greek mythology, who was sometimes regarded as a god by classical writers.
