Thorough explanation of all the steps and reasons for complete disappearance of the disadvantages of cursed equipment in the Veranur curse event, building the strongest set, metal hunting & final stage boss musou technique

In Dragon Quest 2 HD-2D Remake, there is a moment when the Prince of Samartria shows overwhelming power as the ace of the party. That moment is after completing the Curse of Hargon event in Veranur. By completing this event, only Prince Samartria will be able to completely nullify the disadvantages of cursed equipment. Powerful cursed equipment, which was risky in the previous version, can now be used without any risk, allowing you to maximize your attack power and durability.

Specifically, you can take full advantage of the Sword of Destruction's high attack power and critical hit rate, the Spell Resistance of Hell's Armor, the halved physical damage of the Shield of Destruction, and the incredible increase in defense power of Hannya Men. As a result, Prince Samartria will be able to single-handedly raise the efficiency of hunting metal slimes to the maximum, and will be able to conquer strong enemies in the final stages such as the Divine Dragon Tower and the Battle of Sidor with overwhelming firepower and tank performance.

In this article, we will thoroughly explain the detailed procedures for the Veranur event, where to obtain each cursed equipment, its performance, specific examples of the strongest sets, and how to use them in actual battles. The content is easy to put into practice by everyone from beginners to experienced players.

1. Complete strategy for the Veranur curse event: Trigger for returning Prince Samartria and overcoming the curse

In the middle of the story, just after defeating Fat Bat at Belanur Castle, Prince Samartria falls under Hargon's curse. This event is not just an obstacle in the progression, but an important turning point in the prince's transformation into the strongest character. If you do the wrong thing, the prince will be away for a long period of time, and your party will be forced to struggle with a two-person system consisting of the protagonist and Princess Moonburg. Below are detailed step-by-step instructions.

1-1. Event occurrence conditions and immediate response

• Location: Inside Veranur Castle. After defeating Fat Bat, the prince will automatically be cursed and collapse.
• Note: The prince will immediately leave the party. Equipment will be automatically collected, but your level will remain the same. It is best to raise your level in advance around Lupugana.

1-2. Detailed steps

1. Move to Samartria Castle. Use the Rula Stone or walk there and talk to the King, who will instruct you to return to Belanur.
2. An event will occur in the southeast area of ​​Veranur. When you move to the southeast of town, Princess Samartria will appear and a conversation event will proceed.
3. If you talk to the priest at the inn in Belanur, you can get the “Significant Guide”. This will tell you the location of the Etrian Odyssey.
4. We will take a boat to the Etrian Odyssey. Proceed east from Veranur Port and automatically obtain the “Leaf of the World Tree” at the deepest part.
5. If you use the obtained leaf on the prince, the curse will be lifted and he will fully return to the party. At the same time, Princess Samartria officially joins the team, making the group a four-person team.

1-3. Practical points during the event

• You can complete the process immediately after acquiring the ship, but we strongly recommend that you take a detour and reach level 20 or above. The enemies in the Etrian Odyssey are powerful.
• During the event, you will be in a party of two, so be careful of enemies near Veranur. Equipping Yasa's armor to the main character to increase durability will stabilize it.
• In the remake version, a princess joining event has been added, and the disadvantages of cursed equipment are now exclusive to Prince Samartria and disappear.

After clearing the event, Prince Samartria will gain curse resistance. The curse will remain displayed on the equipment screen, but any negative effects will no longer occur during battle or exploration. This is the biggest factor that makes him the strongest character.

2. Internal specifications and reasons for the disappearance of cursed equipment disadvantages: Why is Prince Samartria the only one special?

Cursed equipment usually causes penalties such as paralysis, confusion, HP reduction, and damage reflection during battle when equipped. However, after the Veranur event, only Prince Samartria can completely negate these disadvantages.

2-1. Specification details

• The target is limited to Prince Samartria. Other characters will have disadvantages as usual.
• The curse display when equipped will remain, but the actual negative effect will be zero. There is no need to cancel at church.
• In terms of the story, he is given resistance by overcoming Hargon's curse with the leaves of the World Tree.
• If you actually equip it and fight, you will immediately see that the reflection effect of the Slashing Shield does not activate.

2-2. Adjustment points in the remake version

In the previous version, the practicality of curse equipment was extremely low, but in the remake version, this specification created a tank-type attacker who has both physical and spell skills at a high level.

3. Detailed analysis of all 5 types of recommended cursed equipment: performance, location, and efficient collection method

From among the cursed equipment appearing in the remake version, we will carefully select and introduce the strongest candidates for Prince Samartria.

5. Techniques to improve metal hunting efficiency

You can reach level 99 several times faster than usual by repeatedly firing the Sword of Destruction in the Divine Dragon Tower or undersea area.

6. Practical example in the final boss battle

• Tower of the Divine Dragon: You can almost ignore physical attacks with the shield of nageki.
• Battle against Sidor: You can withstand Giga Dain with Hell's Armor and Hannya Men, and defeat it in a short turn with the Sword of Destruction's critical power.

7. Ideal form of party organization

The best balance can be achieved by making Prince Samartria the tank and main attacker, supporting the protagonist, and making the two princesses specializing in recovery.

Conclusion: Prince Samartria is the true strongest character in the remake.
