'''Holy water''' is a monster repellent in the ''Dragon Quest'' series. It is used to avoid random encounters, simulating the [[Holy Protection]] spell. Beginning with ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'', it can be also used to deal minor damage to monsters by throwing a vial at them in battle.  From ''[[Dragon Quest IX]]'' onwards its function was altered slightly to simulate the [[Vanish]] ability due to the removal of random encounters.

Holy water bottles can be crafted in the [[Tantegel#Dragon Quest Builders|final chapter]] and in [[Terra Incognita|free play mode]] in the Diviner's alter using pure water.
 
It's primary use is for [[Purification|purifying]] the cursed land of Tantegel. By doing so, circular areas of 9x9 blocks can be restored to their former glory. Purification is key to obtaining certain materials needed to craft new block types, items and equipment.
 
Aside from it's main use, the holy water can be used to craft other items like the Sheen salts -that remove cursed equipment- and the Yggdrasil Essence -which revives the player instantaneously if they had it in their inventory-.
 
==={{DQTreasures}}===
A replica of a holy water flask appears as [[List of treasures in Dragon Quest Treasures|treasure No. 285]] in the Items category, with a base value of 20,000.
 
===''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]''===
Kevin Keene/Captain N and Princess Lana purchased this at the [[weapon shop]] along a map to the Cave of the [[Knight Errant#Knight Aberrant|Axe knight]] as they're the only thing left.  Though the price for the water is unspecified, Kevin and Lana were able to get it for 6 [[Gold]] Coins as the shopkeeper considered it a hero's discount.
 
Unlike ''Dragon Quest'', the effect of the water is that it can be used against evil magic.  It's ultimately used to remove the [[Death necklace|Cursed necklace]] from Simon Belmont.
