Regaining health in Elex 2 is extremely important due to frequent enemy encounters. You can regain hit points in various different ways - some work great in combat, others should be used in safety. On this page of the guide, you will learn about healing methods . We advise how to use potions and food. You will also learn which skills affect health.
Food
The primary way of healing in Elex 2 is eating. Food can be found in most of the searched locations, as well as bought from merchants. Additionally you can harvest meat from defeated monsters . You must remember to cook the meat first over a campfire or in a kitchen - eating raw meat harms you instead of healing you.
You can also eat mushrooms. Just like with meat, it's worth cooking them first to increase their healing effect. Campfires are scattered all over the game world, and kitchens are located in settlements.
Some plants also have healing properties but they usually don't restore too much health. It's better not to use them until you learn how to brew potions (as you need herbs to do so) or just sell them.
Potions
The best way to heal yourself during combat is drinking potions. They can heal double or triple-digit HP amounts and they take effect instantly. Therefore it's a good idea to use potions during fights while delegating food to post-combat recovery, when you don't need their effect to be instant.
Potions are, obviously, less common than food but you can find them in many areas anyway. You can also buy them from alchemists or brew them yourself at the alchemy table after learning the appropriate skill.
Using beds
Elex 2 allows you to heal for free by using beds. Sleeping fully restores your HP. Obviously you can't use someone else's bed - you'll be attacked if you try. One of the safe sleeping places is a tower in the Bastion.
Skills affecting health
You can also gain more HP by learning certain skills from the Survival skill tree. They allow you to increase health gained after each level up, speed up health regeneration or increase the effects food has on you.
- Extra Hitpoints - rewards you with more HP each time you level up.
- Health Regeneration - speeds up automatic health regeneration.
- Good Eater - food heals 50% more.
