Choker: Difference between revisions
Changed item name information. Item was titled as "Death Necklace" with "Choker" and "Cursed Necklace" as past translations. In reality, "Death Necklace" was the original NES localization and "Choker" has been used in every localization since. "Cursed Necklace" was never used in any localization for this item, at least in the actual games, though for some reason it seems to incorrectly persist in a variety of online resources for the first game.. |

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 {{DQSeries}}). 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. | |||

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%. | |||
