Cursed Verse is a recurring ability in the Dragon Quest series. Its effects have differed in each game that it has appeared.

Appearances

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past

In the PS1 version, CurseSong is a hybrid ability learned by reaching rank 5 as a Mage or Troubadour immediately after completing the other. It reduces the defence of one group of enemies for 0 MP, making it similar to Kasap. It is also learned by reaching rank 6 as a Walking corpse. In the 3DS version, hybrid abilities no longer exist and Cursed Verse is learned normally by reaching rank 5 as a Luminary or rank 1 as a Druid, but as it is an advanced skill, it can only be used as those vocations.

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King

Cursed Verse appears as an enemy-only skill that can be used by Pan pipers and Wailin' weeds. It has a chance to curse the entire party, stunning them for a single turn. The Hero is immune to its effects as he cannot be cursed.

Dragon Quest X

Cursed Verse appears once again as an enemy-only skill that can be used by various monsters, including Pan pipers and Wailin' weeds.
