Best Ways to Heal in Hytale
With all the things that can hurt you in Hytale, you’re going to need some way to regain lost health. Food will only do so much, and when you’re in a tight spot, chowing down on some skewers isn’t exactly the best thing to do. When you’re surrounded by monsters, you’ll need something that can heal you quickly, but if you’re just trying to patch up a few scrapes and bruises, then a slow and steady healing effect might be the better option.
In the following guide, we’ll be exploring Hytale’s selection of healing items to help you pick and prepare the ones you’ll need most for certain situations.
How to Delete Items in Hytale
Here’s how to get rid of unwanted loot, outdated weapons, armor, and broken-down tools in Hytale.
How to Heal in Hytale
Healing is mainly done through eating food or drinking potions. The quality of the item you’re consuming dictates how much health it restores, though the best healing items tend to be more expensive to make.
There’s also a healing totem in Hytale that will gradually restore health to anything within its radius, but we’ll talk about this more later.
Best Healing Items
So far, the absolute best healing items in the game are salads, pies, and Healing Potions. They offer the highest healing percentages of all craftable consumables in Hytale so far, and they’re fairly easy to make once you unlock their recipes.
Best Food Items in Hytale
Caesar Salad and any of the pie recipes all restore 15% health when eaten, and they’ll give you Health Boost III and Stamina Boost III for a few minutes as well. We recommend making pie instead of Caesar Salads because Cheese, one of the latter’s main ingredients, can be hard to get (at least until animal husbandry is fully implemented).
Pie recipes are sold by the Rootling Merchant in the Forgotten Temple. Their inventory seems to rotate, so if they aren’t offering a pie recipe, come back later. Once you do get a recipe, it’s all a matter of setting up a farm in Hytale that includes all of the recipe’s ingredients.
Pumpkin Pie is fairly easy to make, but if you find yourself with a surplus of meat, go for Meat Pie instead. The latter needs Salt, which you can get by setting down fish traps on water.
How to Make Healing Potions in Hytale
Potions are fundamentally different from food. While both of these items can heal you, potions work best in the thick of battle. Not only do they restore more health instantly, but if you avoid getting hit after drinking a potion, you’ll get even more instant health back. Food, on the other hand, only restores a small amount of health (15% in the case of Rare-tier pies and salads), though they’ll give you a constant (albeit weak) regeneration effect.
To make Healing Potions, you’ll need the following key ingredients:
- Wild Berries
- Bloodcap Mushrooms
- Blood Leaves
- Empty Potion Bottles
Wild Berries are fairly abundant, and you can plant your own reusable berry bush by purchasing one from the Rootling Merchant in the Forgotten Temple.
Bloodcap Mushrooms and Blood Leaves are also quite abundant in autumn forest mini-biomes. However, these only appear at night. You can craft spores/seeds for these if you manage to find the recipes for them, but you’ll also need a maxed-out Farmer’s Workbench in order to actually craft them.
Empty Potion Bottles are made by tossing Sand blocks into a Furnace. Note that potions are fully consumed when you drink them, which means you can’t recycle empty bottles out of them.
Lesser Healing Potions restore 15% Health instantly, and another 30% after 5 seconds. Greater Healing Potions restore 25% Health instantly and another 50% after 5 seconds.
The Healing Totem
Healing Totems are throwable items that create a zone of slow but constant healing. It will heal everything inside the zone for roughly 38 Health over its duration. This isn’t much, but considering how Healing Totems are reusable, they’re great value for players who want something that can regenerate their health without consuming any resources. You can craft a Healing Totem at an Arcanist’s Workbench using the following materials:
- 20 Thorium Ingot
- 50 Essence of Life
- 10 Greater Healing Potions
The resource cost is fairly steep, but it should be worth it. However, you can only place down one at a time, and they will also heal your enemies. If you have a high health pool, then eating food or drinking a potion will be a much more efficient way to heal.
