Editing Pandemonic Equipment

[[Image:Pandemonic_Shield_Armour_and_Sword.png|right|thumb|250px|The set's artwork from the [[Nintendo DS]] release]]
The '''Pandemonic Equipment''' is an optional set of items for [[Psaro (Character)|a certain person]], first appearing in the {{PSX}} remake of {{DQ4}}. An infernal mockery of the [[Zenithian Equipment]], the set's immense power is said to come at the cost of the bearer's very soul.

Pieces of the set are awarded to the chosen after besting [[Chow Mein and Foo Yung]] in battle within a certain amount of turns, that is lower for more advanced pieces of equipment. The order they are obtained in is shield, sword, armour, and helmet, with the [[Boxer shorts]] and the [[Yggdrasil leaf]] between the latter two items.

=={{DQ4}}==
===Pandemonic shield===
Equipping the '''Pandemonic shield''' (まかいのたて) will increase the wearer's {{Defence}} by +55, and cuts breath damage by 30 points.

===Pandemonic sword===
The '''Pandemonic sword''' (まかいのつるぎ), a sabre that increases {{Attack}} by +150 and saps some of the victim's life-force when struck akin to the [[miracle sword]], making it the most powerful blade in the game. 

===Pandemonic armour===
The '''Pandemonic armour''' (まかいのよろい) reduces magical damage for all non-[[Zap]] spells by 1/3rd, and increases {{Defence}} by +100.

===Pandemonic helm===
The '''Pandemonic helm''' (まかいのかぶと) increases {{Defence}} by +40, and cuts the accuracy of sleep, paralysis, and instant death to 1/3rd. 

==Other Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest Tact]]''===
The Pandemonic Sword is an S-rank sword that can be acquired as part of the 2022 Dragon Quest Day by clearing the Psaro stages on In Search of Strength. It has an attack bonus of +30, an HP bonus of +45 and has three slots for Alchemy Effects. 

==Etymology==
Pandemonic is the adjective of ''Pandemonium'', a word originating in the 17th century that describes a state of tumultuous chaos and cacophonic uproar.
*Pandemonium is presented as the capitol of Hell in John Milton's 1667 poem ''Paradise Lost'', drawing strong parallels to [[Nadiria]].
