Saint's ashes are used in the [[Alchemy Pot]] in order to purify pieces of cursed equipment, allowing characters to safely use them with no harmful effects. [[Devil's tail]] is used for the opposite effect to place curses on items. Saint's ashes can be purchased as a [[casino]] prize at [[Baccarat]] for 5,000 tokens. Urns of saint's ashes can also be dropped by [[Dark minister]]s, [[Dark moth]]s, [[Dark gryphon]]s, [[Dark sabrecat]]s, [[Silhouette]]s, and [[Wight king]]s. In the postgame, saint's ashes can be purchased at the [[Dragovian Sanctuary]] for {{tt|12,000|300 in the original Japanese version}} gold each and sold for 150.
 
Urns of saint's ashes can be found in:
*A treasure chest in the [[Dark Ruins]].
*A treasure chest in the [[Dark Godbird's Eyrie]]{{tt|*|Can be missed}}.
*A barrel in the [[Black Citadel]].
*A bag in the [[Dragovian Sanctuary]]
*A pot in the [[Altar of Wroth]] in the Nintendo 3DS version.
*Received as a prize for clearing Rank C in the [[Morrie's Place|Monster Arena]].
