Editing Zenithian Equipment

[[File:ZenithianEquipment.jpg|thumb|The Zenithian Equipment, as seen in Square Enix's [[Dragon Quest Legend Items Gallery]] merchandise series.]]
The '''Zenithian Equipment''' is a set of crucial items in ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]'', ''[[Dragon Quest V]]'' and ''[[Dragon Quest VI]]''. Only the legendary hero can equip them, and the story cannot advance until the entire set is obtained.

Each armament in the fourth and fifth game carry the zenithian descriptor as part of their name, but in the sixth game each piece has it's own distinct title.

==Zenithian Armour==
==={{DQ4}}===
The armour is likely the first piece to be acquired by players. It is found in the cave north of the [[Medal King's Palace]]. In the original [[NES]] version it reduces breath attacks and spell damage by {{fraction|1|3}}, while in the remakes it raises resistance to [[Whack|instant death]] while reducing only spell damage (save for [[zap]]) by {{fraction|1|3}}. In all versions it has a defence value of +70.
==={{DQ5}}===
The armour is stored in a side room in the entrance to [[Crocodilopolis]], and the [[Ultimate Key]] is needed to retrieve it. When worn, it improves defence by 85 points, as well as reducing magic (save bang and zap) and breath damage by 30 points.

{{Descriptions
|DQ4=This armour will help reduce damage caused by magic.<ref>From the remakes</ref>
|DQ5=This gallant garb can impede the impact of magic and ice-based attacks.

==Zenithian Helm==
[[Image:DQIV_Zenithian_Helm.png|right|thumb|The [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Hero]] wearing the Zenithian Helm.|200px]]
==={{DQ4}}===
The helm 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 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. The king is convinced and gives up the Helm. It increases the Hero'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, is grants no such protection.
==={{DQ5}}===
The helm is being kept in a vault at [[Helmunaptra]] by Queen Cleohatra, who is awaiting the arrival of the legendary hero. It improves defence by 50, but grants no resistance to status ailments.

==Zenithian Shield==
==={{DQ4}}===
On a tip from a poet in Canalot, the party heads to [[Burland]], only to find that the king gave it away to the queen of [[Femiscyra]] (a beautiful woman) many years ago in an effort to woo her. The chosen travel to the small kingdom east of Burland, but after being accused of robbery they are tasked with finding the real criminal if they want to clear their names. They successfully track down the [[Kirk Buzzer|real robber]], clear their names, and are rewarded with the shield for their hard work. The shield increases the Hero's defence by 55 and casts bounce when used as an item in battle. In the remakes, it reduces the power of breath attacks by 30 points.
==={{DQ5}}===
The shield came into the possession of [[Rodrigo Briscoletti]], who is willing to give it to any suitor that takes his daughter [[Nera]]'s hand in marriage. Regardless of whom ends up being chosen as the bride, though, Mr. Brisccoletti gives the hero the shield after becoming impressed with the man's caliber. It improves defence by 60 this time, reduces breath damage by 15 points, and casts [[Bounce]] when used in battle.

==Zenithian Sword==
==={{DQ4}}===
After acquiring the [[balloon]] and traveling to the [[World Tree (Dragon Quest IV)|World Tree]], they find a lost [[Zenithian]] named [[Orifiela]], who points them to the sword. It has a base power of 65 when first acquired. After speaking with the [[Zenith Dragon]], the ancient guardian will empower the sword to 110. Using it as an item in battle casts [[Disruptive Wave]].
==={{DQ5}}===
The sword was already located by [[Pankraz]] sometime before the start of the game. He left it in a cache in the [[Whealbrook Adit]], which his [[Hero (Dragon Quest V)|son]] later recovered. The sword's power has not changed from the previous game, and it will still cast Disruptive Wave when used as an item.

==Armour of Orgo==
==={{DQ6}}===
The armour is found under the ruins of [[Castle Graceskull]]. When donned, it reduces [[frizz]], [[sizz]], [[bang]], and fire breath by 35 points, restores 1HP for every 8 steps, and improves the hero's defence and style by +80 and +32.

When rusted the sword adds +63 to the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VI)|Hero's]] attack stat and +12 to his style, and +130 and +32 after Welda restores it. The sword can be further improved by visiting the Fashion Forge beneath the waves, which can raise the strength and style to +135 and +52 after the first reforging, and +145 and +70 after the final improvement. After being restored, the sword will deal bonus [[Zap]] damage after each attack, totaling to 50% of the damage deal before magic resistance is applied, as well as being able to cast [[Oomph]] when used in battle.
