The Scroll of Need (Japanese: 困った時の巻物) is a scroll in  Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer. If you are in a pinch, reading a Scroll of Need will cause one or more good things to happen:

• Cures Slow status.
• If there are 2 or more Monsters near you: Paralyzes all monsters near you
• If your current Strength is 1: Restores strength completely.
• If you have cursed items equipped: Lifts Curses from all equipped items
• If you have 0 Gitan: Gives you several thousand Gitan (a random amount)
• If you are at hungry status: Restore fullness completely
• If you have low HP: Restores HP completely

Note that any and all of these that qualify will trigger (so if you have low HP, are surrounded, and have a cursed item equipped, reading a Scroll of Need will solve all of those problems at one go).
