Keep Your Eyes Peeled
Now that you’re exploring the world of Hyper Light Drifter, you’re ready for your second tip; keep your eyes peeled! Handy items, such as health packs, are rarely in plain sight. Instead, you’ll have to go exploring around the backs of buildings, walking into trees, and activating strange looking switches to find what you need.
Hyper Light Drifter doesn’t want you to just get health packs and Gear Bits (the game’s currency) nice and easy. You have to work for them and this will require using your dash, and in reality, walking into a lot of walls. That last bit may sound dumb, but Hyper Light Drifter conceals many of its items and collectibles in hidden passageways within walls, paths between trees you didn’t think you can get through, and seemingly unreachable platforms. Keeping your eyes peeled for anything out of the ordinary will help you get those all-too-important health packs, Gear Bits, and keys when you need them most.
