Holy is one of the five elemental attributes in Dragon's Dogma.
Overview[]
Holy magick is the basis of both offensive, defensive, and healing spells.
Attacks with holy magick are especialy effective against all Undead including Skeletons, Ghosts, Liches and Wights.
Holy based defensive spell can impart Invigorations that boost defenses or knockdown resistance. The shielding spell Holy Grace can also heal.
Healing spells are always holy based. In addition to curing Debilitations or returning Health some (Anodyne, Spellscreen, and Halidom) also damage Undead, Skeletons and Ghosts.
'Holy Healing'[]
- See also: Elemental Debilitation
In addition to the holy based spells that restore health or cure afflictions, any attack with a holy magick component has a chance to heal the user. The healing is indicated by trails of yellowish luminous light returning from the foe to the allied attacker. Generally only 'White Health' damage is healed.
When a healing strike is performed, the amount of Health restored is usually equal to one tenth of the user's base Magick Defense. The chance for a strike to give healing is cumulative and works like a debilitation.
When it restores health, Holy Healing does not drain health from the enemy, nor does it intrinsically damage undead foes.
Creature resistances[]
- For lists, see List of Creature Elemental and Melee Resistances and List of Creature Debilitation Resistances.
Holy magick is useful throughout Gransys, with only a few foes showing strong resistance. Post Dragon, it becomes more effective as more undead foes will appear.

Notes[]
- Undead foes can cast and benefit from dark version of holy spells - these are often have a deep blood red sigil.
- The Siren can also heal foes with their song, and unlike the undead may be a holy creatures.
- The concept of 'Holy Healing' isn't named or referenced anywhere in-game. However the Set of Caretaker's Garb references "Draining Attacks" which may refer to a version of holy healing - however the equipment does not seem to be effective in-game.
