'''Erdrick's Armour''' is a legendary suit of sublime steel that has appeared in the first two games of the [[Erdrick Trilogy]]. Its original name was the [[Auroral Armour|auroral armour]] before it was claimed by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|mythical Hero of yore]].It is the de facto ultimate armour in every game of the original trilogy, and when appearing in later titles it easily ranks among the best options available to the player.

==Characteristics==
Erdrick's armour is a legendary suit of heavy plate armour forged from [[Zenithium]] with gold details and a flowing, red cape attached to the shoulders, and is essentially the successor to the [[Auroral Armour|Auroral armour]]. The front of the breastplate features the familiar golden [[Mark of Erdrick]]. In early illustrations, it is a full suit of armour that is worn a helmet, gauntlets, faulds, and sabatons, some of which became separate pieces of armour in later games. It is the strongest armour in earlier games and usually reserved only for the main Hero, bestowing a variety of beneficial effects such as resistance against spells and breath attacks and immunity to damaging floor. From ''Dragon Quest IX'' onward, its usage is no longer restricted, especially in games where the player is able to make their own character.
