Erdrick's helmet is a piece of legendary headgear that first appeared in the original three titles of the series. It is made of blue metal with a knight's face guard bearing the emblem of the legendary phoenix Herself, horns that vary in color depending on the game, and a scarlet ponytail. In addition to it's incredible durability, the helmet also protects the wearer's mind from status ailments. Though never outright stated, it is strongly implied that this is the modern name of the late Ortega's helmet—how the latter helm acquired the accouterments and coloration of Erdrick's helm is left to the player's imagination.

Appearances[edit | edit source]

Dragon Quest[edit | edit source]

Although there is no dedicated slot for headgear in the equipment menu of the original game, official illustrations of the Hero always depict the helmet being worn alongside Erdrick's armour, so it can be assumed that the helmet and armor are acquired and worn as a set.
