How to permanently extend your health bar in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle? Our guide will help you find the answer to this question. We explain how you can add more bars to Indy's health bar to permanently increase this stat.

Default health bar

  1. By default, Indy's health bar consists of 3 bars. This isn't much, especially since by default only 1 bar of your health bar is regenerated upon taking damage. This creates a risk that the main character can die relatively easily during larger fights.

  1. You can permanently extend the protagonist's health bar thanks to specific books that will unlock abilities for you.
  2. The first opportunity to increase your health amount appears after visiting the pharmacy in the eastern part of the Vatican, not far from where you buy your camera. Once there, you can talk to Sister Valeria. You can check her exact location on our interactive map.

  1. Valeria sells various books and the Shaping Up ones are among them. Each book of this type is a separate ability that permanently extends the protagonist's health bar.

You can also buy other books, e.g. related to Indy's stamina bar and permanently increase this parameter as well. This will reduce the risk of running out of energy during combat or when sprinting.

  1. Pharmacy books are not paid for with cash, only with medicine bottles - this is a special variety of collectibles in the game world. On the Vatican map you will find a total of 15 bottles.
  2. A Remedy for All discovery allows you to track your progress in obtaining these items. Additionally, you can obtain a book from Ernesto, which will allow you to mark the missing collectibles on the map.

  1. Just purchasing the book is not enough though. You also need to unlock the passive ability from the book by spending Adventure Points (600 Adventure Points in the example in the screenshot). As a reminder, you can earn them by completing optional quests, solving mysteries or taking photos.
