Status Ailments in Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster are a major part of the game’s strategy—and chaos. Sure, you can use them to your advantage, but your party can also fall victim to them in the worst moments. These effects usually bring temporary disadvantages, and if you don’t deal with them quickly, they can mess up your entire battle plan.
So, whether you’re trying to keep your squad clean or mess with enemy mobs, here’s a full list of all Status Ailments in the game and how to cure each one.
🧪 How Do Status Ailments Work?
Most status effects show up during combat, though a few can come from traps or specific areas. They’re designed to limit your party’s abilities—whether it’s blocking magic, scrambling attacks, or draining health over time.
The good news? You’ve got options. Cures come in the form of items, potions, and spells. Some gear even nullifies specific ailments, so if you’re sick of getting Silenced or Blinded, there’s stuff for that too.

🛡 Pro Tip: Gear Up to Avoid Trouble
Some gear like the Peace Ring, Silver Glasses, or White Cape can help protect against these effects before they even hit. And if you’re grinding in areas known for nasty status spam (looking at you, poison swamp zones), a little preemptive shopping trip can save you big headaches.
Status Ailments can be brutal if you’re not ready, but with the right mix of items, magic, and gear, you can handle them like a pro. Keep a few Remedies and Echo Herbs in your bag, make sure someone in the party knows Esuna, and you’ll be just fine.
