The existence of Zenithium is first alluded to by one of the robbin' 'oodlums working as a miner in the Quagmire Cave. The ore is found in the depths of Gaia's Navel off of the beaten path that leads to the Blue Orb, and when presented to the dwarf living in his eponymous shrine he will use it to reforge Ortega's Helm into the Auroral Helm.
Dragon Quest Builders[edit]
Zenithium appears in the final chapter of the game as the most durable ore avilable to the Builder. It is key substance from which the Auroral Armour, Hero's Shield, and many other objects are forged from.
Dragon Quest Builders 2[edit]
Zenithium serves the same role in the sequel, being the material necessary for the Builder to craft the ultimate equipment.
Trivia[edit]
- The first appearance of Zenithium was in the 1989 Item Storybook (アイテム物語), a picture book that explained the origins of several popular items in the series' early days. Zenithium is mentioned in the first story where it is described as a divine mineral found only in the realm of the Gods, and has the miraculous property of healing the wounds of anyone who stays in contact with a piece. It is revealed that the Auroral Armour was forged from Zenithium, explaining how it heals the wearer with every step[1].
