One very important item to stock when playing
Phantasy Star III is the game's antidote, pictured here. Antidotes are used to cure the poison status effect. Instead of dealing damage over time as in most games, for this title poison prevents restoration of hit points. Running out of antidotes can make other items - like the healing Monomates - useless. Of course, there's also the Anti technique, but it can be rather unreliable. The stylized container for antidote is much different than the straight forward box of pills used in
Phantasy Star IV's design artwork. Perhaps there are still pills inside this, but it might also simply be a liquid.
