Editing Liquid metal shield (section)

==Appearances==
==={{DQ4}}===
The Liquid metal shield has a defence bonus of +60 and casts [[Snub]] when used as a tool in battle. In the remakes of ''IV'', it also cuts fire and ice breath damage by 40 points. In the NES version, players can obtain the shield for 50,000 coins at [[Endor]]'s casino, and can only be equipped by [[Borya]], [[Kiryl]], [[Maya]], and [[Meena]]. It is the most protective shield in the game, being even stronger than the [[Zenithian shield]]. However it is the most expensive shield in the game and requires many hours at the casino Poker game and it costs 200,000 coins total for 4 characters who can equip it.

In the DS, Android, and iOS versions, the Liquid metal shield is no longer sold at Endor's casino, but there's only one shield in the game, and it can be only obtained from King Minikin for turning in 52 [[mini medal]]s. It can now be equipped by [[Ragnar]] and [[Psaro]].

The instruction manual for creating the shield, the '''[[List of fun-size forge recipe book locations in Dragon Quest XI|In Fine Fettle with Liquid Metal]]''', is found in a treasure chest inside the [[Fortress of Fear]].

===''[[Dragon Quest Swords]]''===
This shield is generally considered the most difficult item to acquire in the game due to high randomness associated with winning it by playing the [[Tombola|tombola game]] held within [[Castle Avalonia]]. Note that the player must win the special prize twice in order to receive it. It increases the [[Hero (Dragon Quest Swords)|Hero's]] defence by+10 and can be sold for 8,000.
