The golden tiara is a piece of headwear in the Dragon Quest series that first appeared in Dragon Quest V. Designed for women, it provides excellent resistance against various status ailments.

Localization history[edit | edit source]

The golden tiara in Dragon Quest IV is called the きんのかみかざり kin no kamikazari (gold hair ornament) in Japanese. This item would be replaced with おうごんのティアラ ōgon no tiara, a synonym, in Dragon Quest V and not return until the ninth game as a plain upgrade of the silver tiara. The golden tiara term would be applied to the kin no kamizari by the localization team for the game to maintain naming continuity with the silver tiara, with ōgon no tiara being dubbed the spellward circlet for the game.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies[edit | edit source]

In Dragon Quest IX, the "golden tiara" name was used for another item, and this circlet was localized as Spellward circlet. This decision was taken because the other circlet was a golden recolor of the classic silver tiara, while this one -usually called the golden tiara in other titles- had a whole different design.
