'''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.
'''Erdrick's armour''' is a legendary suit of armour in the series that once belonged to the Hero [[Erdrick]].
 
==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.

Erdrick's armour is the most powerful piece of armour in the game, located in the ruined town of [[Damdara]] and guarded by a [[Knight Aberrant|knight aberrant]]. When equipped, it adds +28 to the Hero's [[List of character statistics#Defense|Defence]]. In addition, Erdrick's Armour lives up to its legendary repute by reducing incoming magic and breath damage by 33%, preventing enemy [[Fizzle]] spells from working, protecting against damage from toxic bogs and magic barriers, and restoring 1 HP for every step taken.

Erdrick's armour has a {{Defence}} bonus of +70, reduces damage taken from spells and breath attacks by 25%, and makes the wearer immune to all damaging floor tiles.

It can be found in a treasure chest on 5F of the [[Cave to Rendarak]] by going up the stairs on the right side of 3F.

The mail is found in the third floor of the [[Cave to Rendarak|chasm leading to Rendarak]], in the bottom-rightmost section of the floor near a set of stairs.
