Effect Protects against status effects.

The liquid metal helm is a recurring helmet in the Dragon Quest series that features an emblem of a Liquid metal slime on the front.. It is a high-level helmet that is typically one of the most protective pieces of headwear in the game and offers considerable protection against status effects to the wearer-the exact ailments vary between titles. It is occasionally the mid-point in the upgrade cycle of the metal slime helm and the metal king helm, but other times it is a separate piece of equipment.

Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen[edit]

NES version: Liquid Metal Helms can be purchased by trading in 20 mini medals to the Medal King for one Liquid Metal Helm. It can be worn by the Hero, Kiryl, Torneko, and Ragnar.

Nintendo DS, Android, iOS version: The liquid metal helm has a defence bonus of +50, and protects against confusion, paralysis, and sleep by 33%. It can be worn by the Hero, Torneko, Ragnar, Kiryl, and now Meena. It is obtained from the Immigrant Town's casino for 100,000 tokens, or from a metal king slime dropping it at a paltry 1/4096 chance, or by Torneko randomly stealing one. It's best to have the Sands of Time item and enter a battle with metal king slime with another monster who won't run away. Also have everybody defend except for Torneko who will randomly steal a Liquid metal helm. If the metal king slime runs away or Torneko accidentally kills one, use the Sands of Time to bring the Metal king slime back to the battle. It is much harder to buy the expensive Liquid metal helm as you'll have to gamble at the monster arena for many hours and it's much quicker to randomly steal one from metal king slime.
