The '''church''' or '''chapel''' is a recurring element in the {{DQSeries}}.

==Overview==

Every main series game since {{~~DQ2~~}} has ~~had~~ churches, and many spinoff games feature them as well.

Every main series game since {{Dragon Quest II}} has churches, and many spinoff games feature them as well.

Churches are devoted to various religions depending on the game, but usually profess the worship of a particular creator deity such as [[Rubiss]], the [[Goddess]], the the [[Numen|Almighty]], etc. Churches are most commonly serviced by a pastor, but may also be found under the care of nuns, [[Zenithian]]s or other such pious persons.

Churches provide several important services to players; in {{DQ11}}, goddess statues are able to provide the same services. They include:

Churches provide several important services to players:

*'''Confession''': The pastor will record all of the [[Hero]]'s deeds; this functions as the game's save system, replacing the previous password-based systems. The player will begin at the church they last saved at when they resume play.

*'''Resurrection''': Resurrect [[party]] members who have fallen in battle, reviving them with a small amount of {{HP}} (usually 1/8th of their max, or simply 1 {{HP}}).

*'''Exorcism''' or '''Benediction''': Remove curse [[status effect]] from an afflicted [[party]] member.

**Note that in {{DQ11}}, this function resurrects a party member with full HP.

*'''Purification''': Remove {{Poison}} status effect from an afflicted party member.

*'''Exorcism'''/'''Benediction''': Remove curse [[status effect]] from an afflicted [[party]] member.

*'''Divination''': States the number of [[Experience Points]] ~~the~~ party ~~members~~ must gain in order to reach their next ~~levels of {{exp}}erience~~.

*'''Purification''': Remove {{Poison}} status effect from an afflicted [[party]] member.

*'''Divination''': States the number of [[Experience Points]] a [[party]] member must gain in order to reach their next level.

*'''Rectification''': Used to allow the player to redistribute skill points among their characters.

The following services are {{DQ11}} exclusive:

*'''Absolution''': Removes [[Draconian Quest]] restrictions. Only appears if one or more restrictions are active.

*'''Play in 2D Mode''': Allows the player to go into 2D mode, where they will select a relevant chapter of the story to begin at again. The player will spawn at a relevant church or goddess statue related to what the chapter was about. Only appears as an option in 3D mode.

*'''Play in 3D Mode''': Allows the player to go into 3D mode. Same chapter select function. Only appears as an option in 2D mode.

All services except for confession and ~~divination~~ require a donation to the church, which ~~escalates~~ as characters level up.

All services except for confession, divination, absolution and switching game modes require a donation to the church, which increases as characters level up.

*In {{DQ11}}, donations for ''Resurrection'', ''Benediction'' and ''Purification'' increase after repeated use of the same service instead of increasing after characters level up. These donations cap at 2000 [[gold]]. Rectification costs 20 [[gold]] per skill point reset in a selected skill tree, accounting for all skill points allocated in each unlocked panel of the skill tree. The cost of rectification is the same throughout the entire game.

==House of Healing==

A '''House of Healing''' is a location in ~~Dragon Quest games beginning with~~ {{Dragon Quest II}} where members of the {{Hero 2}}'s ~~party~~ can be detoxed (cured of ~~poison~~), ~~uncursed~~, or revived. There is a fee charged for these services. ~~Also starting~~ with {{Dragon Quest IV}} ~~onward~~, members of the ~~{{Hero 4}}'s~~ party can be informed of their level and the number of ~~experience~~ points needed to ~~gain~~ the next level~~, as well as~~ save the game.

A '''House of Healing''' is a location in the {{DQSeries}}, first making an appearance in {{Dragon Quest II}}, where members of the {{Hero 2}}'s {{Party 2}} can be detoxed (cured of {{Poison}}), un[[cursed]], or revived. There is a fee charged for these services. Starting with {{Dragon Quest IV}}, members of the party can be informed of their level and the number of {{Exp}}erience points needed to reach the next level. The [[hero]] is also able to save the game.

==Notes==

*In {{Dragon Quest IX}}, allocating skill points into the [[Priest]]'s "Faith" skill allows characters to learn how to perform divinations and benedictions on the field.

*In several games, some of the services offered in churches can be performed by party members, for example [[Rab]] from {{Dragon Quest XI}} can learn how to remove ~~curses~~.

*In several games, some of the services offered in churches can be performed by [[party]] members, for example [[Rab]] from {{Dragon Quest XI}} can learn how to remove {{Curse}}s.

*In {{DQB2}}, residents with the [[residents' register]] description of "Nun" can pray in rooms registered as [[List of room recipes in Dragon Quest Builders 2|churches]]. However, this has no substantial effect on gameplay, apart from providing [[gratitude]] points.
