Discover the best equipment in Dragon Quest II! Find out where to get powerful weapons and armor, their stats, and special effects to help you defeat the Prince of Darkness.
Hey there! As you adventure through the world of Dragon Quest II, you'll want to make sure your party is decked out with the best gear. You can snag new equipment from shops, find it hidden away in treasure chests, or sometimes discover it in those sparkly spots on the ground. A little tip: if you want to know the sell price of an item, just take its cost and divide it by three-quarters. Now, let's break down what's what!
Some gear has special tricks up its sleeve:
- The Wizard's Staff can cast the Sizz spell in battle.
- The Dragonsbane is your go-to for dealing extra damage against dragons.
- The Aurora Blade lets you cast Dazzle in combat.
- The Falcon Blade might not hit hard, but it lets you attack twice in one turn – pretty neat!
- Both the Lightning Staff and the Thunderbolt Blade can cast the Woosh spell.
- The Cloak of Evasion gives your Evasion a nice boost of 20%.
- The Magic Armour and Erdrick's Armour are great for cutting down both Spell and Breath damage by 25%.
- For even better protection, the Flowing Dress reduces Spell and Breath damage by a whopping 50%.
- The Power Shield is unique because it can cast Midheal on the user during battle.
- Equipping the Mad Cap will reduce the MP cost of spells by 25%.
- The Windbraker doesn't do much on its own, but it's key for reaching the Dragon's Horn on the north side.
- The Banishing Bell helps reduce the chances of Snooze or Fizzle hitting your party, but keep in mind it won't stop monster abilities like Sickly-Sweet Breath.
