How to Remove Cursed Equipment

DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D Remake How to Remove Cursed Equipment
Seek out the Benediction ritual from a Church priest or nun to remove cursed equipment in Dragon Quest 2 (DQ2). Learn how to remove cursed equipment and the list of all cursed equipment found in the game here!

How to Remove Cursed Equipment

Ask Priests or Nuns for Benediction

DQ2 - Benediction
When players equip a piece of cursed equipment, they must approach a priest or nun for a Benediction ritual. The priest will then perform the ritual to remove the cursed equipment from the slot for a fee of 50G multiplied by your current level.

This is quite a lot of money, so be careful not to equip cursed equipment.

Use Sheen to Remove Curse

Type RecoveryRecovery
MP Cost 18
Effect
Lifts a curse from a single ally.

You can also try using Princess of Moonbrooke's Sheen ability as an alternative method for removing cursed equipment. This might be a better alternative than visiting a priest or nun, as this method only consumes MP and does not require spending any fees.
