Cursed Equipment, as its name implies, are weapons or armor pieces that are cursed and will inflict misfortune on those who equip them. Some items that are cursed will remain permanently equipped until the player must visits a Church and gets it removed. What curse befalls the player varies from equipment to equipment. Cursed Equipment are obvious to spot, be it their name, appearance, or their ominous item description. Sometimes Cursed Equipment are one of, if the most powerful items in the game, making them high-risk, high-reward.

Later installments, starting with Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King, introduced the Saint's ashes, an item that rids the curse off the item, turning them into more powerful and useful equipment.

In Animation[edit]

In Captain N: The Game Master, the Cursed necklace turns the wearer into a target for the legendary Golden Dragon. It will alter in size to fit the wearer. Attempts to remove the necklace without disabling the magic will result in a shock. It is placed on Simon Belmont by The Dragonlord as a means of getting rid of him and The N Team.

Simon was able to remove it through the use of some Fairy water, and tossed it onto The Dragonlord, who after removing it with some Fairy water tosses the Necklace onto the dragon as a result.
