'''Strong antidote''' is an intermediate healing item in the {{DQSeries}}. It combines the effects of an [[antidotal herb]] and a [[medicinal herb]], curing the effects of [[Poison and Envenomation|poison]] from a single party member and restoring a small amount of their [[HP]]. In games where [[Alchemy]] appears, it can be created by mixing one of each herb together and can even be improved further into a [[special antidote]]. It can also be purchased from some shops later in the games and dropped by monsters, as well.

Making its debut, strong antidote can restore 30~40 HP to a single ally and cures the effects of poison. In addition to being made in the [[Alchemy Pot]], it can be purchased randomly from the girl selling herbs at [[Port Prospect]] for 10 gold or commonly dropped by [[Blue fang]]s. One can be found in a barrel in [[Argonia]]. In the original Sony PlayStation 2 version, the strong antidote can be sold for 95 gold each for the first 5 items, then reduces to 67 gold for the 6th to 10th ones sold, then drops even further to 29 gold from the 11th one sold onwards.

The strong antidote can be created with the [[Krak Pot]] in the same way as before, but the amount of HP it restores increases to 40~60. It can be purchased from [[Gleeba]], [[Wormwood Creek]], and [[Upover]] for 38 gold each. It can be dropped by [[Peckerel]]s, [[Treeface]]s, and [[Raving lunatick]]s, and they have a 10% chance of being found in [[List_of_treasure_map_treasure_chest_ranks_in_Dragon_Quest_IX#Rank_2/H|Rank 2]] blue treasure chests.

 

Strong antidote can be made once again using the Alchemy Pot and it can be dropped by some monsters, including [[Whackolyte]]s and [[Sasquash]]es. The amount of HP it restores has gone back down to 30~40 HP.
