'''Curses''' (呪い) are hexes that afflict the target with a wide variety of potent effects. Some curses are permanently set upon certain items as well: see [[Cursed Equipment]] for a list. 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.

In {{DQ11}}, [[Rab]] is able to cast the spell [[Benediction]], functioning the same way as Sheen.

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]].

Note that all curses have a chance each turn of inflicting an effect similar to [[paralysis]] on the afflicted party member.


The party can find the Choker, an apparently-cursed collar, in the Zwaardsrust Ruins, in a corner of the room behind the same [[Magic Key]]-locked door that guards one of the [[Six Orbs|six coloured Orbs]] needed to reach Yggdrasil. It is stored in the Important Items section of the party's inventory, meaning that it cannot be equipped. Upon trying to “Use” it, the {{Luminary}} picks it up, but “senses an oppressively ominous aura, and thinks better of it.” 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}}).

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]].
However, if the {{Luminary}} 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.
