Rude Awakening is an ability from Dragon Quest VII that heals a confused or sleeping ally.

Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest VII[edit]

In the original Playstation version, Rude Awakening (or Mineuchi as it was originally localized) is a hybrid ability learned by advancing to rank 5 as a Warrior or Shepherd immediately after completing the other.

In the 3DS version, hybrid abilities no longer exist and Rude Awakening is instead learned by advancing to rank 5 as a Warrior.

Etymology[edit]

In Japanese, 峰打ち Mineuchi refers to getting struck by the back of the sword - in the context of DQVII, causing a "rude awakening" for any confused or snoozing allies.
