Curses are cast by undead and demonic monsters, which force characters to lose a turn. The [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|Hero]] is immune to all curses, save by one cast by the bonus boss in the post-game.

Curses are cast by undead and demonic monsters, which force characters to lose a turn. The [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|Hero]] 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.

*Halving the maximum MP of a character for the battle

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

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|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, [[Hero (Dragon Quest XI)|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 G for the Choker (continuing the trend of cursed equipment selling for unusually high prices in the DQ series). 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.
