Negative Status Attacks

Several monsters in the kingdom have attacks, or responses to attacks, which can confer undesirable effects upon you.

Regular Negative Status Effects

These, unlike the effects from Dreadsylvania, all can be removed with a soak in the hot tub. Originally "removed by hot tub" was one definitive way to tell negative effects from positive ones. The Naughty Sorceress removes all positive effects at the start of that fight, but not negative ones. Most effects, positive or negative and all of these attack effects, can be removed with soft green echo eyedrop antidotes.

Prevention Equipment & Potions

There are certain pieces of equipment which can prevent the regular effects from being inflicted 75% of the time:

• ancient stone head
• Apriling band helmet
• Belt of Loathing
• crusty hula hoop
• furry yam buckler
• giant pinky ring
• gold wedding ring
• hazmat helmet
• Kelflar vest
• meteorite guard
• moss marlinspike
• Protects-Your-Junk

Equipping multiple sources of protection will not increase their effect; having a giant pinky ring and an ancient stone head equipped, for example, will still only block 75% of status attack.

When one of these items blocks a negative effect, one of these messages will be displayed:

You have an intense feeling of dread, but it quickly passes.

There's a tingling in your <foot>, but the feeling passes.

You get a little queasy, but the feeling quickly passes.

The Ancient medicinal herbs prevent all negative status effects 100% of the time.

The bezoar ring prevents all poison effects 100% of the time.

Dreadsylvania Status Effects

Monsters in the Clan Dungeon Dreadsylvania have harder-to-remove negative status effects. The Hot Dreadsylvanian cocoa, an NPC store item costing one Freddy Kruegerand, will remove these.

The effects named "Curse of <Attribute>" can be blocked with the Protects-Your-Junk accessory. When the curse is blocked the following is shown:

Your underwear shifts uncomfortably, preventing the curse from taking hold.

The duration of each effect is determined by the number of kisses earned per fight in that zone, which in turn is determined by the number of elements banished. In the following table, K is equal to the number of kisses earned per fight.

Positive Status Effects

There are a few attacks that are positive, and are listed here for inclusiveness only. Unlike the effects listed above, they cannot be removed with all-purpose cleaner. (Some people consider the -ML of Fearless a negative attribute, but the game does not.)
