The '''goddess shield''' is a recurring shield in the {{DQSeries}}, first introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''. This beautiful shield is decorated with the image of a female deity and is frequently one of the strongest shields in the game, greatly reducing elemental damage taken by the wielder.

Appearing in the 3DS remake, the shield increases defense by +55, style by +17, and cuts all elemental damage (save [[zap]]) by 30. [[Maribel]] and [[Aishe]] can equip it, giving them an excellent -60 elemental combo when used with the [[Princess Robe]].

Appearing in the 3DS remake, the shield increases defense by +55, style by +17, and cuts all elemental damage (save [[Zap]]) by 30. [[Maribel]] and [[Aishe]] can equip it as long as they are at least level 35, giving them an excellent -60 elemental combo when used with the [[princess Robe]]. It can be acquired from the first completion of the The Depths of Darkness [[DLC Tablet]].

{{Descriptions
|DQ8=A holy shield that reduces damage from fire and ice based spells by up to half.<ref>Sony PlayStation 2, Mobile, and Nintendo 3DS versions.</ref>
}}
The goddess shield has a defense bonus of +55, and cuts elemental damage '''in half''', even though the flavor text states that it only reduces fire and ice damage. This includes [[Frizz]], [[Sizz]], [[Crack]], [[Bang]], [[Woosh]], and fire and ice breath damage. It can only be equipped by [[Jessica]] and [[Angelo]] in the original version, as well as [[Red]] in the 3DS remake.
 
In the original PS2 version, it was only possible to get one shield since there was only one thanatos' shield in the game and it can only be made with the [[Alchemy Pot]]. However, in the 3DS version, another thanatos' shield can be found in the [[Corridor of Memories]] and they are also dropped rarely by [[Hell's gatekeeper (recurring)|Hell's gatekeeper]]s.
 
Recipe: [[thanatos' shield]] + [[saint's ashes]]
