Magic water

Magic water (or Magical holy water, as it was originally known) is a rather rare healing item in the Dragon Quest series. As the phials were originally only found in treasure chests and occasionally dropped by monsters, it is important to stockpile them for the most dangerous segments of a journey, such as when the party has reached the lowest level of the dungeon with the knowledge that a potentially deadly boss is up ahead.

In modern titles, these glass bottles are far less rare, usually even purchasable near the end-game in more mystical locations. This change in scarcity is likely to reflect the substantial stat limit boosts characters have experienced since VI.

Similar to IV, the flasks will restore 10~15 in the original and 40~50 in the 3DS remake.

Note

It is interesting to note that the image resembling a Star of David on the bottle's stopper that was present in early concept art was removed in concept art for later games.
