The '''liquid metal helm''' is a recurring helmet in the {{DQSeries}} that features an emblem of a [[Liquid metal slime]] on the front.. It is a high-level helmet that is typically one of the most protective pieces of headwear in the game and offers considerable protection against status effects to the wearer-the exact ailments vary between titles. It is occasionally the mid-point in the upgrade cycle of the [[metal slime helm]] and the [[metal king helm]], but other times it is a separate piece of equipment.
