==={{DQB}}===
Holy water bottles can be crafted in the [[Tantegel#Dragon Quest Builders|final chapter]] and in [[Terra Incognita|free play mode]] in the Diviner's alter using pure water.

It's primary use is for [[Purification|purifying]] the cursed land of Tantegel. By doing so, circular areas of 9x9 blocks can be restored to their former glory. Purification is key to obtaining certain materials needed to craft new block types, items and equipment.

Aside from its main use, the holy water can be used to craft other items like the Sheen salts -that remove cursed equipment- and the Yggdrasil Essence -which revives the player instantaneously if they had it in their inventory-.

==={{DQTreasures}}===
[[Image:Holy water treasures icon.jpg|right|thumb|''Treasures'' icon]]
Holy water is Treasure [[List of treasures in Dragon Quest Treasures|No. 285]] in the Items category and can be found on [[the Paternoggin]]. Its base value is 20,000 gold. There is also a Treasure known as the Empty Vial.

===''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]''===
Kevin Keene/Captain N and Princess Lana purchased this at the [[weapon shop]] along a map to the Cave of the [[Knight aberrant|Axe knight]] as they're the only thing left. Though the price for the water is unspecified, Kevin and Lana were able to get it for 6 [[Gold]] Coins as the shopkeeper considered it a hero's discount.

Unlike ''Dragon Quest'', the effect of the water is that it can be used against evil magic. It's ultimately used to remove the [[Death necklace|Cursed necklace]] from Simon Belmont.
