These items must be removed in a [[Church]] before the bearer can equip anything else, but the curses chanted in battle can be removed with the [[Sheen]] spell.

Curses are cast by undead and demonic monsters, which force characters to lose a turn. The {{Hero 8}} is immune to all curses, save by one cast by the bonus boss in the post-game. Any curse-afflicting attacks “fizzle out” before they can reach the Hero, and he can use cursed equipment without penalty.

Enemies who can curse the party include [[Mummy boy]], [[Blood mummy]], [[Lesser demon]],[[Demon thunderer]], [[Hellstalker]], [[Hipster]], [[Swingin' hipster]], [[Dark minister]], and any enemy capable of using [[Cursed Mist]] or [[Cursed Verse]].

*Forcing the character to succumb to instant death with a high probability within a random number of turns

*Forcing the character to succumb to instant death with a high probability within a random number of turns.

Curses can be inflicted by equipping cursed equipment ([[sword of ruin]], [[wailer's mail]], [[thanatos' shield]]) and occasionally paralyse the Builder mid sword swing. Curses can be removed from the equipment through [[List of consumables in Dragon Quest Builders 2|sheen salts]]. Additionally, for the sword of ruin specifically, changing its appearance to the [[falcon blade]] on a [[Character customization in Dragon Quest Builders 2|dressing table]] will turn the sword into an [[über falcon blade]].
