Horizon Forbidden West: How to heal

You should know how to heal in Horizon Forbidden West because there will be a slew of powerful machines fighting for Aloy. Let's look at some of the options for resolving your debilitating situation.

Forage for healing items

Collecting flowers and other therapeutic items in the outside world is the simplest way to heal. By pressing up on the D-Pad, you may easily accomplish this. If you're in desperate need of a healing item, hold down the right stick to scan the surroundings. The game will then display local resources, including the flowers you'll need to get Aloy back into fighting shape.

When you first start your quest in Horizon Forbidden West, you will have ten medical herbs at your disposal. Some treasure boxes may contain the healing materials you require for boss fights like the Slitherfang. The world in Horizon Forbidden West is significantly more deadly than it was in Zero Dawn, so make sure you stock up as much as you can.

Potions, potions, potions

Aloy can also make potions, although this will take more time for you. To make potions, pick "Potion Crafting" from any workbench in the game. Then, using two medical berries and one wild meat apiece, you can prepare mini health potions. Both are common commodities that can be obtained by hunting animals or foraging for natural plants. Make a tiny health potion with the resources you have so Aloy can stay in the fight longer.

To use a little health potion, tap left or right on the D-Pad to pick it up. Then, to utilize it, press down on the D-Pad. One advantage of the health potion over foraged healing ingredients is that it allows you to go beyond your normal health bar. In other words, your potion has the potential to boost your health beyond the conventional green bar.

You can only have three potions in your possession at the start of the game, but you can upgrade your potion pouch to get more. To gain the initial upgrade to five at a time, you'll need Metal Shards and two Squirrel Hides.
