How Does Healing Work in Yakuza Kiwami 3?

There are 4 primary ways to heal in Yakuza Kiwami 3:

  • Consume Toughness, purchased from Drug Stores.
  • Consume Snacks, purchased from Convenience Stores
  • Consume Meals purchased at Restaurants.
  • Interact with the heart-box at any safehouse.

Most methods of healing are achieved by exploring the map, where you will find shop icons that allow you to interact with a vendor and spend a small portion of your yen on healing items. Each healing item will showcase its price, and you’ll know it’s a healing item as the description will read “Restores HP when consumed“, and shows how much health will be granted to your HP bar.

To heal, you need to click the Options button on your controller and then select Inventory. From your inventory, you can look through your Recovery Items and select the one you want to use to consume it for a whopping bonus of health, both in and out of combat.

If you don’t want to spend any yen, then you can venture to your safehouses and interact with the recovery box to instantly replenish all of your health!
