The '''Sphere of Silence''' is a key item in the {{DQ4}}, wherein it was created by [[Mahabala]] through alchemy.

When used as an item in battle, it prevents the enemy party from using magic; however it does not work on most bosses.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ4}}===
{{Descriptions
|DQ4=This sneaky sphere can seal an enemy's spells during battle.<ref>Nintendo DS and [[Cell phone]] Version</ref>
}}
{{Maya}} and [[Meena Mahabala]] first discover it in [[Gupta Gupha]] during {{DQ4 Chapter 4}} , where it proves necessary to defeat [[Balzack]]. However, they lose possession of it sometime between Chapters 4 and 5.

In {{DQ4 Chapter 5}}, after confronting and defeating the green knight Sir [[Roseguardin]], the {{Party 4}} gains a new sphere.

====Warning====
There are several ways to miss getting the item in {{DQ4 Chapter 5}} completely:
*Defeating [[Estark]] before encountering Sir [[Roseguardin]] will result in him not appearing in the [[Rosehill]] Tower where he would have been earlier.
*During the battle, Sir [[Roseguardin]] will summon a [[Chillanodon]].  If he is defeated before [[Chillanodon]], then The {{Hero 4}} will not obtain the Ball.

==={{DQ7}}===
The Sphere of Silence is only available in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake and is given as a reward for the completion of the [[DLC Tablet]] ''Palace of the Perished'' upon defeating [[Skeleton#Skeleton swordsman|Skeleton swordsman]].

==Trivia==
*If {{Meena}} and {{Maya}} do not obtain the Sphere of Silence in {{DQ4 Chapter 4}}, it will still be in [[Gupta Gupha]] in {{DQ4 Chapter 5}}. Thus, it is possible to have two Spheres of Silence at once.
*A common theory is that {{Meena}} and {{Maya}} lost the Sphere of Silence after their defeat by [[Marquis de Léon]] and that the Sphere was later given to Sir [[Roseguardin]]. Neither of these are true. The duo will still have the Sphere of Silence after their defeat, up until they reach [[Endor]] at the end of {{DQ4 Chapter 4}}. Sir [[Roseguardin]] having the Sphere of Silence even if the duo did not obtain the item in {{DQ4 Chapter 4}} shows that he has a duplicate copy, rather than having stolen the original.
*{{Torneko}} can actually end up stealing multiple copies of the Sphere of Silence when fighting against Sir [[Roseguardin]], thus enabling you to have a collection of them if you so wish.
