The '''platinum shield''' is a recurring shield in the {{DQSeries}} which first appeared in {{DQ6}}. It is typically a mid-level shield, the strongest created by mundane means without any magical properties.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ6}}===
The platinum shield has a {{Defence}} bonus of +25, a {{Style}} bonus of +40, and reduces damage taken from [[Frizz]], [[Sizz]], [[Bang]] spells and fire breath by 10 points. It can be used by {{Hero 6}}, [[Carver]], [[Terry]],  [[Amos]], and [[Goowain]]; it is found in [[Somnia]] castle behind a door that requires the [[Ultimate key]], and is also dropped by [[Annihilantern]]s and [[Octavian sentry|Octavian sentries]] at a 1/256 rate each. 

==={{DQ7}}===
The platinum shield has the same attributes as in the previous game. It can be equipped by {{Hero 7}}, [[Kiefer]], and [[Aishe]]. The shield can be purchased from [[El Ciclo]] in the present, [[Wetlock]], and [[Providence]] for 3,500 [[gold]] coins and sold for 1,750 [[gold]] coins. One can be found in [[Estard]] castle's treasury, which requires the [[Ultimate Key]]. If the Platinum shield is equipped along with the [[Platinum sword]], [[Platinum mail]], and [[Platinum headgear]] when being graded for the Best Dressed Content of the [[Excellence Grading Organisation]], they provide an additional +30 bonus to {{Style}}.
*In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version, the shield lost its protection against fire breath.
