Moon's mercy can restore 110~120 HP to a single character and cures the effects of paralysis. In addition to being made in the [[Alchemy Pot]], it can also be dropped [[Cureslime]]s, [[Spitnik]]s, and [[Hell hopper]]s. In the original Sony PlayStation 2 version, moon's mercy can be sold for 308 [[gold]] each for the first five sold, reducing to 216 gold each for the sixth through tenth, then dropping even further to only 93 gold each from the eleventh sold onward.
