In Elden Ring: Nightreign, healing and boosting your max HP are key to surviving tough bosses. Learn every way to restore health and increase your HP during expeditions.
In Elden Ring: Nightreign, youโll constantly be sprinting from boss to boss, grabbing runes, and powering up before the next Nightboss rolls in. Unless youโre some kind of dodging god, a lot of those bosses are going to smack you around and drop your HP fast.
Thankfully, there are a few ways to get that health bar back upโand knowing which ones work best for your party setup and character can seriously make or break your expedition.
How to Heal in Elden Ring: Nightreign
There are a few different ways to get your health back, and some of them work a bit differently than in the original Elden Ring.
Use the Flask of Crimson Tears
Yep, itโs back. Your Flask is still your bread and butter for quick healing:
- It gets stronger as you level up and gain more health.
- You can get up to seven charges during an expedition.
- You donโt need to rest to refillโjust walk near a Site of Grace, and youโll get your charges and health back.
- Random bonus: sometimes you get flask charges passively over time, but itโs not reliable, so donโt count on it.
Use a Warming Stone
These are the go-to consumable healing item for both you and your team.
- They restore HP slowly to anyone standing nearby.
- Super useful mid-fight or when regrouping.
- Youโll find them in breakable stuff like wooden boxes or chests, and sometimes as loot on corpses out in Limveld.
HP Restoration Bushes
Keep an eye out for bushes with orange-glowing berries.
- When you interact with one, it creates a healing mist around the bush for about 20 seconds.
- Anyone standing in the mist gets a nice slow HP regen.
- No item costโjust good timing and positioning.
โจ Use a Site of Grace
Besides being your checkpoint and level-up station, Sites of Grace fully heal you and refill your flask just by standing near them. You donโt even have to interact unless you’re spending runes. Quick, easy, and perfect for regrouping after a rough fight.
How to Increase Your Max HP
Sometimes healing isnโt enoughโyou just need a bigger health bar. There are a few ways to get that, too.
Leveling Up (Vigor)
Every time you level up, youโll put points into Vigor automatically, which boosts your max HP.
- How much HP you gain depends on your characterโsome classes scale better than others.
- Itโs the most reliable way to raise your HP, hands down.
Talismans
Some Talismans increase your max HP.
- You can find them by hunting scarabs/beetles or buying them from merchants.
- Keep in mind: both options are random, so you might not always get what youโre looking for.
Cache Rewards
Certain boss caches drop a Max HP boost that increases your health by a percentage, which is a bigger deal for characters who already have a decent health pool.
- These are random, though, and not guaranteed.
- So while theyโre a nice bonus, donโt plan your whole build around them.
Best Healing & Max HP Tips
- Use your Flask regularly and refill it at Sites of Grace.
- Warming Stones are clutch in team fightsโuse โem.
- Grab healing from HP bushes when you see that orange glow.
- For more HP overall? Level up. Everything else is just bonus RNG.
