Keeping your hero alive is a key part of Gloomwood . On this page of the guide, we explain the mechanics behind health, as well as show you how to replenish it.
Checking health
In Gloomwood, the health bar is not a part of the HUD, which means you cannot access the situation instantly. To check current health level, you need to open your Journal and go to the Status tab. The tab supplies following information:
- Health - here you can check your current health. There are 3 statuses here - Fine (full health), Caution (minor injuries), or Danger (at the brink of death) Make sure to replenish health in advance to avoid dangerous situations.
- Mind - here you can view the hero's state of mind. Mental health has no practical application yet in the Early Access version of the game.
Medicines - Vitalizing Tonic
To replenish health, you need to use a Vitalizing Tonic . To heal, open the inventory, reveal the drop-down menu for Vitalizing Tonic, and select use. Vitalizing Tonic doesn't restore health in full. The improvement is partial (e.g. from Danger to Caution) .
Each syringe takes up 2 inventory slots . If you don't want to take up inventory space, as you may need the room for weapons and loot, carry a small supply of them (2 or 3) at a time.
Vitalizing Tonics are found all around the levels, but a 100% chance of obtaining one only comes from medicine chests. Simply destroy such a chest with a melee weapon, and a Tonic should appear inside.
Food
Across the levels, you can also find food, in form of apples or cheese. You can select these items from the inventory and confirm eating (Gorge) by choosing the option from the drop-down menu. However, Vitalizing Tonic are better of the 2, as they are the basic and more viable way of replenishing health.
