Maintaining your character’s health is crucial, and today, we will help you understand how to restore your max health in Once Human. Your character’s Sanity directly affects the maximum recoverable health, represented by a shadowy blue section on your health bar. By focusing on restoring Sanity and using specific consumables, you can return your health bar to its full potential.
How to Restore Max Health in Once Human
To remove the blue area from the health bar and restore max health in Once Human, you will need to restore Sanity. Here’s how to do this:
- Consume sanity gummies to recover your sanity levels instantly. These are handy when you’re away from your home base.
- Brew a Herbal Tea using collected plants and berries. It provides slow sanity recovery while you’re out of combat and offers 20% pollution resistance.
- If you’ve unlocked fermentation, ferment a Corn Ale in your base or grab it from a vending machine.
- If you are in your territory, then all you need to do is sleep on your bed to cure your sanity.
Sanity Gummies (Instant Sanity Recovery)
Sanity Gummies are the best way to recover your sanity levels instantly. These consumables are particularly helpful when you’re on the move and far from your home base in Once Human. Keep a few Sanity Gummies in your inventory for those critical moments when you need a quick sanity boost.
Brew a Herbal Tea (Slow Sanity Recovery)
Brew Herbal Tea using collected plants and berries to enjoy a refreshing drink with dual benefits. Not only does it provide a gradual sanity recovery while you’re out of combat, but it also offers 20% pollution resistance. This makes Herbal Tea an ideal choice for players who want to maintain their sanity while exploring polluted areas.
Corn Ale (Easy to Find)
Another way to restore sanity is by consuming Corn Ale. This beverage can be obtained from vending machines scattered throughout the game world or produced in your base if you’ve unlocked fermentation. Remember that fermentation may require additional resources and time investment, so vending machines can be a more accessible option when you need a sanity boost on short notice.
Good Sleep (Simple Max Health Restoration Solution)
Crafting a Bed using Logs and Adhesives (which requires unlocking the Basic Furniture node in the Memetics menu) is a reliable method to restore your sanity and, consequently, your max health. A good night’s rest in a comfortable bed is essential for maintaining your character’s well-being. Prioritize sleep and have a bed available for your character to ensure optimal health and sanity levels throughout your journey in Once Human.
