'''Antidotal herbs''' are curative plants in the {{DQSeries}}. It is used to alleviate the [[poison]]ed status effect from a single character, having the same effect as the [[Squelch]] spell. In later games, it is also able to cure envenomation, as well. In games with [[Alchemy]], it can be used to create more powerful healing items that can restore [[HP]] while curing poison at the same time.

Antidotal herbs make their first appearance in the series. The {{Hero 2}} can't learn spells in this game and the [[Prince of Cannock]] does not learn [[Squelch]] until he is level 6, making carrying a few in the inventory a necessity.

|description=Cures a single ally of poison. Consumed upon use.

Antidotal herbs be purchased for 10 gold each. Since the only character who can use [[Squelch]] in the original NES version of this game is [[Kiryl]], who only appears in the second and final chapters, this item is arguably more useful than it is in many other games. In particular, the fourth chapter has [[funghoul]] enemies which can poison the player and neither of the two Mahabala sisters can heal poison with Squelch in the original NES version of the game.

 

 

 

 

 

Antidotal herbs can be purchased from nearly every item shop in the world for 10 gold each. There are no characters in this game who can learn Squelch by leveling up normally without vocations, so carrying a few in the early stages of this game is highly recommended. Antidotal herbs can also be won as prizes from the Lucky Panel at the [[Casino]].

The antidotal herb can be purchased from most item shops for 10 gold and sold for 5 gold. Some herbs can be found in [[Farebury]], the [[Tower of Alexandra]], [[Port Prospect]], and [[Peregrin Quay]] and it can be dropped by various monsters, including [[bubble slime]]s, [[funghoul]]s, [[scorpion]]s, [[walking corpse]]s, [[devilmoth]]s, [[bodkin fletcher]]s, and [[toxic zombie]]s among others.

One antidotal herb, along with a medicinal herb and a [[moonwort bulb]], are required to complete [[Template:DQIXQuest/5|Quest #5]]: Herb'list.

 

Antidotal herbs can be purchased from various item shops for 10 gold each, picked up from sparkly spots, or dropped by various monsters including [[bubble slime]]s, [[killer gila]]s, [[bodkin fletcher]]s, [[Phantom swordsman|phantom swordsmen]], [[ghoul]]s, and [[wight priest]]s.

Antidotal herbs can be purchased from various item shops and roving emporiums throughout the world early in the game, from [[Cobblestone]] until [[Gondolia]]. Afterwards, shops will begin stocking [[strong antidote]]s instead. Antidotal herbs can also be dropped by [[bubble slime]]s and [[walking corpse]]s.

 

 

Antidotes can be purchased for 10 gold each. In this game, this item can also be given to enemy monsters and not just your allied party members. This might not appear to have much purpose at a glance, but if you heal a enemy's poisoned status it has a roughly equivalent effect of giving it Ribs (which costs 300 gold), so can be useful for recruiting monsters, particularly in the early game. For an example of how to do this, use a [[Walking corpse|Hork]] with [[Poison Breath|PoisonGas]] to poison the monster you wish to catch, then use the antidote to heal their poison status before defeating the monster.

 

The above description for ''Monsters'' applies to this game as well.
