(spoiler) uncurse shield/armour?

[Fel]

So I crafted all 3 cursed items, the sword is easy enough to uncurse since there are guides about it everywhere but I can't seem to find anything about the armour and shield.

I also read about a "3 stars spiked armour", but no clue is ever given on how to get that (I mean, I know how to craft it at 0 star and it's clearly not the same method as the cursed weapon).

You can uncurse it with Sheen Salts at the workbench, you can't use those like the intended Sword of Ruin glitch.

That's not quite what I meant by "uncurse", it just unequips them.

Dragon quest and most J-RPJ that have a "cursed" or other seemingly useless items have a way to turn them into some of the most powerful items in their games, and since the sword fits that principle it makes sense to expect that there would be some way to remove the curse from the armour and shield as well.

Oh well, spiked armour is strong enough to make most enemies a joke, especially coupled with that OP sword, and if you also add food buffs then even the guy that gives the sword's recipe becomes a joke (still with a lot of HP but not really dangerous anymore).

Thanks for the answer, now all that I am missing is that "3 stars spiked armour" I guess.

Then the answer is no. Thanatos' Shield and Wailer's Mail have no method to uncurse without unequipping or transform into a curse-free weapon like Sword of Ruin does.

No idea what you mean here. Are you looking at empty block in Builderpedia's Items list immediately following Spiked Armor? If so, the one following Spiked Armor is Wayfarer's Clothes, not some 3-star version.

Nothing like that, when I was searching around with google I saw at least two topic where people were saying that they were using a 3 star spiked armour so I figured that maybe there is a different recipe or a way to upgrade it to get from no star to 3.

At this point it looks like there is nothing like that so no clue what these people were even talking about (maybe there is a version of the game where it does have 3 stars since it is the most powerful armour, who knows).

Could be a hidden item within the game accessible by hacking the game code or save file - there's a ton of unused stuff in there. Some kind of "uber" armor and shield to match the sword is certain possible.

But if they're in there they are named the same, just like Falcon Blade and difficult to identify them as distinct. I've found other things in the data simply because the names don't come up in gameplay (such as music sheets for every BGM, unused tools like Stone Hoe, extra blueprints like Ballista Barricade, unused foods like Shark Fin Soup, and carryovers from DQB1 like tickets for Terra Gladiatora/Battle Atoll.)

If you've got the links for where you saw these 3-star Spiked Armor rumors, I'd like to investigate.
