In Sultan’s Game, surviving the weekly torment dished out by the Sultan is hard enough—but throw a curse into the mix, and things get downright brutal. Whether it’s warping your choices, draining your resources, or sabotaging your allies, curses can twist your fate in nasty ways. But fear not! While the Sultan loves stacking the odds against you, there are ways to break free. In this guide, we’ll show you how to remove curses, outwit their effects, and maybe even turn the tables in your favor.
Players have shared that, after a combat encounter, possibly tied to a Conquer or Bloodshed card, you might find your character afflicted with a curse, shown as a dark card slotted behind them, similar to equipment. Unlike normal gear, this curse sticks around and gradually debuffs your stats or alters your choices. Unfortunately, talking to Methink doesn’t always resolve it, as not all curses are lifted through dialogue alone.

Sultan’s Game: How to Remove Curse
Keep in mind that removing a curse in the Sultan’s Game isn’t always straightforward. It depends on your choices, progress in certain questlines, and sometimes even pure luck. Here’s a detailed guide to the known methods for removing a curse from your character:
The Temple Method (Standard Removal)
This is the most direct and repeatable method. To do this, you will have to visit the Temple and speak to the priest. Pay 5 gold coins to have the curse removed. This option usually appears after drawing a Carnality or Bloodshed card or after certain events like the Haunted Mansion. With this, you might run into an issue where sometimes the priest doesn’t spawn, especially if prerequisites haven’t been met. If the priest isn’t spawning, it might be because you or Maggie haven’t triggered the church questline yet. You need to visit the church and ask for help after encountering dark magic. This opens up future priest interactions.
The Cultist Route – Badriyyah’s Tattoo
If you’re leaning into the cult path or exploring forbidden magic, complete the Haunted Mansion and follow-up events to recruit Badriyyah. Once she’s in your party, assign her to Methinks. During the “Spear Bearer” or related events, she’ll offer to tattoo a follower for 5 coins, which removes the curse and converts it into a magic stat bonus. Also, note that some characters (like Maggie) may refuse the tattoo, so this isn’t universally applicable and is often limited to one use per follower.
White Honey from the Priest (Church Path Bonus)
If you’ve uncovered dark magic early in the game, a special priest interaction can open. Show him the hint of dark magic, and you’ll receive White Honey, an item that can be used on Methinks to remove a curse. It also grants one automatic dose, with a chance to get a second if you win a roll. Hovering over White Honey should state its curse-cleansing property.
Those are all the strategies to cleanse the curse in the Sultan’s Game. We hope that you find this informative. For more such gaming-related content, make sure to visit Android Gram first.
