Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King[edit]

GameDescription
DQ8-LOGO-ICON.png
Confuses a single enemy when used as an item during battle.[1]

Mystifying mixture makes its first appearance in the series. It has a chance to inflict confusion on a single enemy and is consumed upon use, having the same effect as the Fuddle spell. The mixture can be made two different ways in the Alchemy Pot and it can also be mixed to create a few items, as well. One can be found in a pot at Arcadia.

In the original Sony PlayStation 2 version, mystifying mixture can be sold at a high profit at 280 gold each for the first 29 sold, increasing to 840 gold each for the 30th to 49th sold, then going back to 280 gold from the 50th onward.

  • In the Nintendo 3DS version, mystifying mixture can be found randomly in blue treasure chests in the Maella Region, the Kingdom of Ascantha, and the Pickham Region. It can now also be dropped rarely by killer moths. Mystifying mixture can now only be sold for 144 gold each for the first 29 sold, 96 gold each for the 30th to 49th sold, then dropping even further to only 48 gold each from the 50th onward. This is due to the Alchemy Pot now working instantly as soon as it is acquired.
