Monster Hunter World: How to Heal and Restore Health

How to Heal and Restore Health in Monster Hunter World

Recommended Videos

As you explore the plains in Monster Hunter World, you’re sure to come across some menacing creatures that have the ability to cause your character harm. Therefore, you’re going to need to know how to heal in the game to continue hunting successfully.

Thankfully, there’s a few ways you can heal your character in Monster Hunter World. The best way is to use potions or vitality plants to heal. To use one while exploring, use left and right on the d-pad to cycle through your inventory until you come across an item that will increase your health. Once you’ve found it, simply press square (or X on Xbox One) to use it, and your character will be healed. Your furry Palico friend will also give you a helping hand from time to time in battle, throwing small green bugs that’ll restore health. Your Palico will only do this when you’re running low on health in Monster Hunter World, though, so don’t expect any free handouts if you’ve still got a good chunk of your health gauge left.

Finally, you can also restore health by entering your tent at a camp. The tent is the place at which you can change your character’s loadout, equipment, and such. You’ll likely head back quite often to change your weapons to match the weaknesses of certain monsters and to prepare for upcoming fights. Once you’ve gone inside, your health and your Palico’s health, will restore automatically. Entering the tent will also heal any abnormal status effects your character may have.

That’s all you need to know about how to heal in Monster Hunter World. For more on the game, be sure to check out our wiki.
