Biomorphis a new metroidvania title from indie developers Lucid Dream Studio that puts players in control of the lead character Harlo as they attempt to rescue their friend, restore their memories, and help bring the town of Blightmoor back to life. The game features a wealth of colorful characters anda range of unique enemiesto overcome, which Harlo will need to learn a variety of skills to beat.
Given that combat is one of the focal points ofBiomorph, players should make themselves familiar with how to maintain Harlo’s health just as much as depleting the health of the foes in front of them. With this in mind, this guide will go through the basics ofhow to heal inBiomorph, as well as how to keep those all-important Vital Containers full, in case of emergencies.
How to Heal in Biomorph
Replenishing your health is a relatively simple process inBiomorph,but you do need to be wary of some conditions for doing this that may differ from your standard action game. It’s a one-button input, but if your timing is off it may end up having the exact opposite effect and wind up having you killed. To heal inBiomorph,simply hold the F key or R1/RB on your PlayStation or Xbox controller, respectively.
While this is an easy process, it is worth noting thatthe healing process will take a few secondsto complete, meaning this shouldn’t be tried when within range of enemy attacks, as you will be vulnerable to attacks while performing this action. So, for the sake of staying alive, ensure you areclear of any immediate threatsto ensure your health is restored and stays that way.
How to Refill Vital Containers in Biomorph
By default, players will only have the ability to heal Harlo on two occasions in quick succession using their Vital Containers. Thankfully, there is a relatively simple, albeit violent, way that you’re able to replenish these stocks to ensure yousurvive the multitude of different enemiesin the game and the challenges they pose.
To restock your health reserves, you will simply have todefeat enemies in your playthrough without dying. Naturally, this can be risky, particularly if you are at a point where your health is low, but it will generally only take 3-4 defeated enemies before you are able to use the healing skill again. It is easy to track, as the Vital Containers will show how full they are in the top-left corner, just under Harlo’s health bar.
It is worth noting that there is the opportunity for players toincrease the number of Vital Containers they have by up to twocontainers. At present, we know that one is given as a reward for the “Love in a Bottle” quest, which becomes available in Blightmoor later in the game. We will update this article when the second one is located.
