Complete guide to Yamabiko's hat: Double magic firepower and recovery by activating the spell twice

Yamabiko's hat is a helmet that stands at the top of magic specialized equipment in Dragon Quest 2 Remake. The most appealing feature of this equipment is the special effect that spells cast during battle are automatically activated twice in a row. Defense power is +25, which is decent, but this twice-activated effect essentially doubles the damage of attack spells. The effects of healing spells are also doubled. It is best equipped to Prince Samartria. You will be able to use his high spell firepower to use dual-wield weapons.

Detailed performance of Yamabiko's hat

• defensive power: +25
• special effects: Spells are activated twice in a row during battle (MP consumed only once)
• Characters that can be equipped: Prince Samartria, Princess Moonburg, Princess Samartria
• price: No selling price (only for obtaining treasure chests)

This effect especially shines with offensive spells such as Giga Rain and Io Grande. For example, if one activation of Giga Rain deals approximately 300 damage to all enemies, two activations will deal over 600 damage. In terms of recovery, if Behoimi is activated twice, a single character's HP can be fully recovered. Behomazun will fill up the entire party's HP at once. In addition, by applying the supporting spells Lucani (reduces enemy defense power) and Skult (improves ally defense power) twice, you can instantly destroy the enemy's durability. Increases the survival rate of allies.

The mountain bib hat is mainly obtained from the treasure hunter's house in Lupugana. Alternatively, there is the 25th map of Infinite Corridor. The recommended route after the middle of the story is detailed below.

1. get the final key: Clear Rondalkia Shrine and get the final key from the treasure chest. This key is a required item at the end of the story.
2. Move to Lupugana: Go east from Loresia Castle and go north through the desert east of Tepa Village. You can see a small village on the map. This is Rupugana.
3. Enter the treasure hunter's house: There is a treasure hunter's house on the north side of the village. Use the final key in the treasure chest inside to reveal a mountain bib's hat.
4. Alternative acquisition (after clearing): After the true ending, challenge the Infinite Corridor and examine the southeastern footing of the 25th map. However, due to its depth, high level is recommended.

The difficulty of obtaining it is medium, but if you collect it early, the battles on the road in the middle will be much easier. MP management is the key. Combine with Water Yado and Philosopher's Stone.

Optimal operation and tips for Prince Samartria

Equipping Prince Samartria with the Mountain Cap will unleash his potential as a magic attacker and healer. A specific example is given below.

• Attack operation: Wipe out a group of enemies with two consecutive shots of Giga Rain. Perfect for wiping out small fry enemies in the Divine Dragon Tower.
• recovery operation: The party will be completely recovered after 2 Behomazuns. He will be active in the long battle against Sidor.
• auxiliary operation: Two Lucani attacks will reduce the enemy's defense power by two levels. Increases the damage of physical attackers by more than 1.5 times. Sculting twice will greatly increase the party's defense power.
• Combination example: Used in conjunction with Loto's Dragon Sword (reduces spell resistance). Permanent operation is possible when combined with the “Mysterious Hat” accessory that reduces MP consumption.

The same goes for equipping Princess Moonburg, but the priority is given to the prince because his spells are more powerful.
