Discover how to obtain Erdrick's Armour in Dragon Quest! Learn about the dangers of Damdara, the Knight Aberrant, and strategies to claim the ultimate armor.

Remember Damdara, that town in the southern desert that got wrecked by monsters? And that guy in Cantlin who used to run a shop there? Well, it's time to head back into that ruined town.

When you're in Damdara, keep an eye out for Cosmic Chimaeras. They can cast Midheal, but you'll need to take them down with physical attacks. Tearwolves don't have spells, so they're less of a threat. You'll also run into Green Dragons, but don't worry, they have way less HP than the dragon that was guarding Princess Gwaelin. Then there are the Vis Magers – these guys can cast Fizzle and a nasty new spell called Sizzle, which is a super-powered Sizz spell that can wreck you. Seriously, I've been taken out by these guys more than once, especially if they get the first move. Make sure your health is above 70 HP and Quick Save after every single battle. You should be okay if you do that.

Alright, from where you entered Damdara, head south, then go east across town. You should spot a sparkle, which means there's a hidden item nearby. Approach it, but keep a few squares away. Heal yourself up to full HP and make sure you have at least 56 MP – that's enough for one Fizzle and about 18 Heals. If you're short, just sleep at the Inn in Galenholm and come back. Along with your Herbs, you should have at least 24 Heals ready to go. Quick Save right here; you're about to face the guardian of this treasure, a Knight Aberrant.

KNIGHT ABERRANT - 78 HP - 4 MP - Can cast Snooze

This is the monster I was talking about earlier that I always use Fizzle on. Cast Fizzle right away to stop the Knight Aberrant from putting you to sleep with Snooze. It's guaranteed to work the first time. After that, just attack and Heal if your HP drops below 55. Try to save your Medicinal Herbs until you're completely out of MP. Even if the Knight Aberrant keeps attacking, you should be healing more HP than it's dealing damage, giving you a chance to land a hit every few turns. After about 3 or 4 hits, this guy should go down, and you'll get access to a secret, sparkly treasure. Victory!

For all your hard work, you'll be rewarded with the incredible ERDRICK'S ARMOUR! This is the best armour in the entire game, with higher defense than any other piece. It also cuts down the damage from Sizz, Sizzle, and Fire attacks by 25%, makes you immune to poison swamp and damage tiles, and even heals 1 HP for every step you take. This armour is absolutely insane!
