'''Bounce''' is a recurring spell throughout the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' franchise. It protects the caster from enemy attack spells, not by reducing their strength, but by throwing them back at the caster. The barrier is conjured up for 4 MP, and will last 6~9 turns. Among the items that can emulate its effect includes the [[Zenithian shield]].

It must be noted that Bounce reflects '''all''' spells targeting the caster with only a select few exceptions; beneficial spells will be sent back to their conjurer as well as harmful ones. Self-targeting magic still takes affect, however, as well as [[Insulatle]], [[Kaclang]], [[Bazoom]], and [[Magic Barrier]].

==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest III]]''===
Bounce is learned by [[Mage]]s & [[Sage]]s at Level 24. The spell costs '''8''' MP to cast in its original appearance.

===''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''===
Bounce is learned by [[Borya]] at level 9.

===''[[Dragon Quest V]]''===

|note=Reflected spells are resolved with the originally intended victim's Magical Might. For multi-target spells, only the caster of Bounce is protected.}}
Important things to remember:
*Breaths, particle beams, etc. are ''not'' reflected by Bounce.
*Reflected spells use the reflecting player/enemy's Magical Might rather than the original caster's.
*Multiple-target spells such as the [[Bang]] series are reflected on a per-hit basis. If only your Mage has Bounce up, the rest of the party will still be hit by the spell; if everyone has Bounce or [[Magic Mirror (skill)|Magic Mirror]] up, the entire spell will be returned to its caster.

Erdrick Equipment

[[File:DQ Museum Erdrick Equipment.png|border|right|475px]]
The '''Erdrick Equipment''' is a set of powerful and crucially important items from the original three ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' trilogy. The equipment consists of the sword, shield, armour and helmet belonging to the legendary hero [[Erdrick]].

==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest]]''===
====Armour of Erdrick====
[[File:DQ_Hero_Erdricks_Armour.png|right|border|200px]]
[[File:DQII Erdricks Sword.png|right|border|200px]]
[[File:DQII Erdricks Shield.png|right|border|200px]]
The most powerful armour in the seminal game by far, it is located in the ruined town of [[Damdara]] and guarded by a [[Knight Aberrant| nasty knight]]. When equipped it adds +28 to the player's defence, reduces magic and breath damage by 33%, nullify the toxicity of bogs, and will restore 1 HP for every step taken.

====Sword of Erdrick====
The legendary blade is found in [[Charlock Castle]], off of the path to the [[Dragonlord]]. Equipping it grants the player +40 attack, a substantial boost from the [[Flame Sword]]'s +28. Certain third-party documentation claims that the sword is the only weapon that can cut the despot's scales, but this is completely false. That being said, it is strongly advised to acquire the blade to make the confrontation much easier.

====Helmet and Shield====
These two items are not present in the original ''Dragon Quest'', presumably because the shield was left in [[Torland]] instead of [[Alefgard]], as well as the fact that there are no helmets in the game at all anyway.

===''[[Dragon Quest II]]''===
====Armour of Erdrick====
The mail is found in the third floor of the [[Cave to Rendarak|chasm leading to Rendarak]], in the bottom-rightmost section of the floor near a set of stairs. Donning it grants +70 defence this time, along with the expected 33% reduction to breath and magic and harsh terrain immunity. It may be equipped only by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest II)|Prince of Midenhall]].

====Helmet of Erdrick====
The helmet is gained by exchanging the Emblem of Erdrick in the shrine southwest of [[Tantegel Castle]]. It grants the Prince of Midenhall +20 defence.

====Shield of Erdrick====
Erdrick's shield is found in the castle of [[Cannock]], watched over by an old sage in the center of the building's pond. The [[Golden Key]] is required to enter the tiny islet. Once obtained, the shield will boost Midenhall's defence by +30.

====Sword of Erdrick====
The sword is once again found in Charlock castle, left there by the previous hero. Unlike the Armour, no one has attempted to restore the sword to its original glory, and adds +40 attack as before.

The sword can only be equipped by the Prince of Midenhall in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]], while the [[Prince of Cannock]] can also equip the sword in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SF]] and all ports of the remake after.

===''[[Dragon Quest III]]''===
====Auroral Armour====
Found in the [[Tower West of Kol]], the radiant suit of mail will add +85 (+75 in the original) to the hero's defence, as well as the extra protection granted in the previous titles.

====Ortega's Helmet====
When the player reaches the town of [[Muor]], they will witness a cutscene of a young boy mistaking the hero for their [[Ortega|father]]. After speaking with the villagers and learning of boy's attachment to Oretga, as well as the man's affect on the town as a whole, they can speak with the boy to receive the memento he left behind. In the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SF]] version, the helmet will add +30 defence, but offer no protection against debilitative magic. In the [[Game Boy|GBC]], however, the helmet will reduce the chance of being afflicted by [[snooze]], [[dazzle]], and [[sap]] by 50%. This aspect was removed in the subsequent mobile phone release.

The helmet doesn't exist in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version. In its place is a novelty item called the [[water blaster]].

====Hero's Shield====
The shield is located in the [[Nail Mark]] north by northwest of Tangegel castle. When equipped, it will boost the hero's defence by +65, and reduce magic/breath damage by 33%. When both the shield and armour are equipped, the shield's reduction properties will take effect after the armour's.

====Sword of Kings====
Legendary long before the events of ''Dragon Quest III'', it is said that it took [[Zoma]] three years to sunder the blade in twain. Because of this, the player must first locate a piece of Orichalcum and a smith of godly skill in order to restore the weapon. Once restored, the Sword of Kings will boost the hero's attack by +120, and will deafen a group of enemies with an earth-shaking [[Kaswoosh|thunderclap]] when used as an item in battle.

====Sacred Amulet====
Given to the hero by [[Rubiss]], this accessory will grant +30 [[luck]], and ''complete'' immunity to instant death and [[kamikazee]]

===''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''===
Whoever preordered the 3DS version of the game in Japan obtained the code to download Erdrick's sword. In game, the sword must be reforged in the [[Alchemy Pot]] to reach its true potential. '''Ye Olde Sword of Erdrick''' became available to download for international players on February 24, 2017. It has an attack bonus of +20 and can be equipped by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|Hero]], as well as [[Jessica]] and [[Red]] if they have enough skill points in Knives. After the sword has been reforged, '''Erdrick's sword''' has an attack bonus of +120, being second to the [[Dragovian king sword]] and the most powerful sword for both Jessica and Red.

Recipe: Ye Olde Sword of Erdrick + [[Liquid metal sword]] + [[Orichalcum]]

===''[[Dragon Quest IX]]''===
Various pieces of Erdrick's equipment appear in the game, but the player must reforge the rusty pieces with the help of the [[Krak Pot]]. All of the rusty armour pieces are acquired from Extra Quests in the game, while the [[rusty sword]] can be found in the [[Realm of the Mighty]]. For a time, rusty pieces were also available on the [[DQVC]], allowing the player to make more than one set of Erdrick's legendary armour. This also marks the first time gauntlets are included, as hands are a new equipment slot in the game. However, there is no corresponding lower body armour or boots.

===''[[Dragon Quest Builders]]''===
In this game, the Sword and Shield of Erdrick come under the possession of the King of Darkness, a [[Prince o' thieves]]-type character who can call [[Lunatick#Variants|raving lunaticks]] to fight at his side. He has 1,120 HP.

* '''A sword of legend, said to have been used by the great hero Erdrick himself.''' (Description of Erdrick's sword in ''Dragon Quest VIII''.)
