Use Health Packs Wisely
Hyper Light Drifter’s world punishes those who don’t take it seriously. The game may have a colorful and charming world, but its enemies aren’t to be messed with. Even the smaller, more common enemies will be able to take fairly large chunks out of your small health bar and they will more often than not come in groups. What makes this all worse? Health packs in the world are few and far in-between and so that seemingly easy bunch of enemies can become a roadblock in your journey.
Therefore, you’ll want to use your health packs sparingly. Just because you’ve lost a bit of your health doesn’t mean you should be going straight for that LB button to heal. Instead, wait until you’ve dwindled down to just a sliver of health before healing. Only do so when you need to, otherwise, you’ll find yourself wanting when you’re in real trouble.
