The titan belt is a recurring accessory in the Dragon Quest series which first appeared in the Super Famicom version of Dragon Quest III. In its original appearance, it gave a boost to the wearer's Resilience, but in later games in the series, it increases the wearer's Attack instead.
Localization history[edit]
The Japanese name パワーベルト (power belt) was first localized into English in 2005 as the titan belt for the international release of Dragon Quest VIII. The term would then be replaced in 2014 with the weightlifter's belt for the Android/iOS port of Dragon Quest III before reverting back to the titan belt name for Dragon Quest Heroes and retaining it hence forth for subsequent games. As it stands now the weightlifter's belt name only appears in iterations of Dragon Quest III.
