The banishing bell is an uncommon accessory item in Dragon Quest. It is a holy chime that helps ward the wearer from the effects of spells.

AppearancesEdit

Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary LineEdit


GameDescription
Makes it harder for spells such as Snooze and Fizzle to affect you.[1]

The Prince of Midenhall, The Prince of Cannock and The Princess of Moonbrooke can equip this to raise their resistance to the spells Fizzle & Snooze, but not similar enemy attacks such as Sweet Breath. It can be purchased for 640 gold coins in Rippleport, Tantegel, Zahan, Slewse, Burrowell, and sold for 480 gold coins.

Normally, the enemy versions of these spells have an accuracy of 3⁄8 (37.5%) in all versions of the game. When the bell is equipped in the NES version, the accuracy is reduced to 3⁄32 (9.375%), and in all other versions the success rate is cut to 3⁄64 (4.6875%). Due to a bug in the SFC version, merely having the accessory in a character's inventory protects them.

It can also be won in Tombola if 3 slime symbols are matched.

The banishing bell reduces a character's chances of being targeted by enemies. This does not affect the accuracy of an attack, just the probability of an enemy focusing on the bearer.
