The Tempest shield is a recurring shield in the Dragon Quest series, first introduced in Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen. 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 experience or gold.

Appearances

Appearing only in the remakes, the tempest shield increases defence by +35, and can be equipped by every vocation save Mages. Compared to other games, the shield has no extra effects aside from its high defence. It also happens to be the most protective shield for Martial Artists, Merchants, and Gadabouts.

The tempest shield is exclusive to the 3DS and S: 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.

Dragon Quest Builders 2

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.

Etymology

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.
