The '''Zenithian helm''' ('''てんくうのかぶと''') is found in [[Canalot]], in its king's possession. He holds a competition stipulating that anyone who can make him laugh will win the Helm. The {{Party 4}} travels to [[Laissez Fayre]] to recruit comedian [[Tom Foolery]] to the cause, expecting him to unleash one of his funniest jokes on the king; instead, he delivers an impassioned speech about evil on the rise and then necessity of the Chosen to defeat it.

It increases the {{Hero 4}}'s defence by 30 in all versions, and cuts the accuracy of [[Fuddle]], [[Snooze]], and [[Paralysis]] to {{fraction|1|3}} in the remakes. In the original, it grants no such protection. | The '''Zenithian helm''' ('''てんくうのかぶと''') is found in [[Canalot]], in its king's possession.

==Trivia== | |||
*Some versions of the Zenithian sword and shield have [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Saxon_runes Anglo-Saxon runes] inscribed on them. | |||
** The runes on the sword (around the gold sphere on the hilt) read "mitibikaresi mono", which is an approximate romanization of "導かれし者 ''michibikareshi mono''", meaning "the guided one". This also resembles the Japanese subtitle for ''Dragon Quest IV'', "導かれし者たち ''michibikareshi monotachi''", literally "the people who are shown the way". | |||
** The runes on the shield (around the two gold spheres) are difficult to translate, as they only appear in early low-resolution concept art, and later interpretations of the shield omit these runes entirely. | |||
