Appearances[edit]
Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation[edit]
| Game | Description |
 | This armour will help to reduce damage caused by magic.[1] |
This armor may be won in either the Port Haven or Turnscote casinos, and can be found in Howcastle behind a door that requires the Ultimate Key. It provides +66 defense, +51 style, and negates 15 points of magical damage from all non-Zap spells. It can be worn by the Hero, Terry, Carver, Lizzie, Amos, and Goowain.
- The Dragon shield is also available in the aforementioned casinos, and can be equipped along with the platinum mail by most characters. This makes the battle with Murdaw significantly easier and is a popular strategy for low-level playthroughs.
