How to heal in V Rising

There are multiple ways to heal in V Rising. However, each method has its limitations while in combat. This is due to the debuff that occurs while in combat that keeps players from healing past a certain HP value. Healing methods improve throughout the course of the game, and players can gather resources needed to heal fairly easily. This is how to heal in V Rising.

Healing In V Rising, explained

At the beginning of the game, players will have two options to heal. The first is crafting Vermin Salve, a consumable that recovers 2.5 percent of the player's maximum health every 1.5 seconds for 15 seconds. The healing effect stops when taking damage and requires one Rat, 60 Plant Fibre, and 20 Bones. The second method of healing is using Blood Mend by holding CTRL and using the ability. This drains the Blood Pool and heals four percent of the player's maximum health while draining 0.2 liters a second.

How to craft Healing Potions

Both the Tannery and the Alchemy Table are needed to craft more healing items. These require players to use Water Filled Canteens made by crafting an Empty Canteen at the Tannery and filling it with water or Glass Bottles at the Alchemy Table to put Potions in. The Blood Rose Brew is a consumable that players can learn the recipe for. Either find the Recipe Book or collect enough Paper and randomly unlock it by studying. This requires 40 Blood Rose and 1 Water Filled Canteen to craft and does not require the Alchemy Table.

Another Potion that can be unlocked is the Blood Rose Potion. Using Quartz to make Glass, players can make Glass Bottles and fill them. The recipe for this is unlocked by draining the blood of Christina the Sun Priestess. Blood Rose Potions can only be made at the Alchemy Table and require 80 Blood Rose and a single Water Filled Bottle.

Additional ways to Heal in V Rising

Players can also heal themselves using their Vampire Powers. The Rogue Blood Type also has the ability to regain health when doing damage. Purgatory, an Unholy Power, can be used to heal both the player and any allies inside the circle as well.
