More often than not, major bosses can inflict various Status Ailments on your Demons while you’re helpless to inflict most or any Status Ailments in return. That means it’s usually more helpful to know the cures to Status Ailments rather than how to inflict them. Having the Items and Skills necessary to cure anything that comes your way will help you take full advantage of every Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance battle.

There are nine Status Ailments in Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance—Charm, Confusion, Death, Mirage, Mud, Poison, Seal, Shroud, and Sleep. Several Skills inflict these Status Ailments, most notably the Ailment Skills like Poisma, Dustoma, and Dormina.

Thankfully, unlike SMT‘s sibling series Persona, there’s a straightforward way to cure all Status Ailments in Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. There aren’t separate Skills you need to fix the different Ailments. Every Skill that cures an Ailment cures all Ailments. The only exception is Death, which requires one of a few revival Skills or Items.

Death is a special Status Ailment that either completely removes one of your allies from battle until cured or causes a game over if inflicted on the main character.

In a battle, however, you only have a few options to cure a dead ally.

  • Skills
    • Recarm: Revive one ally with half-HP.
    • Samarecarm: Revive one ally with full-HP.
    • Revival Chant (Aogami Type-10 Essence exclusive): Summon one Demon at full HP, even if dead.
  • Items
    • Revival Bead: Revive one ally with half-HP
    • Balm of Life: Revive one ally with full-HP

The aforementioned Magatsuhi Skill Eternal Prayer also cures Death for all allies.
