The '''Death Necklace''' is a [[cursed]] item from [[Dragon Warrior]].  It can occasionally be found in the [[Mountain Cave]]. If located, one should sell the item for 1200G as equipping it will make the [[Hero (Dragon Warrior)|Hero]] [[cursed]]. The only way to remove the Death Necklace is to find the old man in [[Brecconary]].
The '''Choker''' is a recurring accessory in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in the original ''[[Dragon Quest]]''. It is a [[cursed]] piece of equipment that tightens around the wearer's neck when worn.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age[edit | edit source]

The choker can be found in the ruins of the Zwaardsrust Region behind the door that requires the Magic Key to be opened. It is hidden in a chest, and when acquired, it is stored in the Important Items section of the party's inventory, meaning that it cannot be equipped as an accessory. Upon trying to “Use” it, the Luminary picks it up, but “senses an oppressively ominous aura, and thinks better of it.” The familiar jingle of a character equipping a cursed item from the older games can be heard when this line appears.

A thug near the ruins is seeking Zwaardsrustian treasure, and initially offers the party 10,000 gold coins for the Choker (continuing the trend of cursed equipment selling for unusually high prices in the Dragon Quest series). However, if the Luimnary takes him up on his offer, he will back down with the excuse that he doesn't carry that much gold while out treasure-hunting.

Dragon Quest Walk[edit | edit source]

The choker can be received as a reward during the Dragon Quest I event. Unlike its original appearance, the choker has a defence bonus of +5 and increases the wearer's resistance to instant death effects by 5%.

Captain N: The Game Master[edit | edit source]

The Cursed necklace turns the wearer into a target for the legendary Golden Dragon. It's placed on Simon Belmont by The Dragonlord as a means of getting rid of him and The N Team.

Simon was able to remove it through the use of some Fairy water, and tossed it onto The Dragonlord, who was forced to destroy the dragon as a result.
