All ways to heal in Hyper Light Breaker – Destructoid
You will get hurt as you venture through the Overgrown on your quest to defeat the Crowns in Hyper Light Breaker. You will get hurt a lot. If you want to survive long enough to reap the best rewards of your excursions, you’ll want to learn how to heal.
How to make Medkits in Hyper Light Breaker
Using a Medkit is one of the most reliable ways to heal yourself in Hyper Light Drifter. Unfortunately, you don’t start your first run with any, which made things pretty awkward for me when I tried to heal after I got out of a tough fight. To get a Medkit, you first need to find a Golden Ration.
Golden Rations are the materials you use to access the vendors in the Cursed Outpost, and you’ll need at least one of them to get a Medkit. So far, I’ve found two ways to get Golden Rations. The first is by exploring the Overgrown and finding them in golden chests. Golden chests seem to spawn near areas where Prisms spawn, or at least they have for me. You’ll need a certain amount of Bright Blood to open the chests, so make sure you have some before you look for one.
You can also get Golden Rations whenever you reset your Cycle. You’re allowed to reset your current Cycle whenever you run out of Rezs. Pherus Bit grades for your performance whenever you reset your Cycle, and if you score high enough to go up a Rank, he gives you a Golden Ration.
Once you’ve got a Golden Ration, you can bring it to Pherus Bit in the Cursed Outpost and use it to get a Medkit. You’ll start with two Medkits, but you can upgrade your stash to hold more if you use more Golden Rations. Whenever you want to use a Medkit, hit the C key.
How to use Medigems in Hyper Light Breaker
Once you use a Medkit, there are two ways to get more of replenish them. The first is by harvesting Medigems. These green plant heals you a little whenever you pick them up, and you can also use them to refill a used Medkit. You need five Medigems to re-fill a Medkit, which you can do when you find a Shrine while you’re exploring the Overgrown.
The locations of Shrines are marked on your map when you load a new version of the Overgrowth and are easy to interact with. All you have to do is walk up to them and hold the F key to interact with them. Just make sure there aren’t any enemies around; they will NOT hang back and wait for you to sort through your menu.
How to perfect parry in Hyper Light Breaker
The last and most dangerous way to heal yourself in Hyper Light Breaker is by performing a perfect parry. Enemies hit hard in Hyper Light Breaker, and they like to gang up on you, so I’d only recommend doing a perfect parry once you’ve whittled the herd down a bit.
To pull off a perfect parry, hit the Q button right before an enemy hits you. Not only does this heal you, but it also seems to reflect projectiles back at enemies. It’s risky, but it might save your life if you’re out of Medkits and can’t dash away from a persistent enemy.
