Can be bought for 10 gold.
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 sisters can heal poison with Squelch in the original NES version of the game.
 
This doesn't apply to the remakes however, as [[Meena]] was given the Squelch spell as well, which she learns at level 4.

Antidotal herbs can be purchased for 10 gold. The player doesn't get a character who can learn Squelch until [[Milly]] joins the party, which takes a while, and [[Bubble slime|Bubble slimes]] frequently appear in the period before she joins, so the item is fairly useful in this game.

==={{DQ7}}===
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]].
