For players who may be new to FromSoftware’s brutal yet rewarding gameplay formula, knowing how to heal might not be as simple as other video games. This guide will go overhow to heal inElden Ring, so players can go on their way tobecome the Elden Lord. Also, keeping that HP bar in good standing will ensure players don’t lose their Runes, which are used for many important things.
At the beginning ofElden Ring, players will be forced into a fight with a boss enemy called Grafted Scion. Players are meant to die here since they’re obviously not well-equipped for the fight; however, it is possible to defeat it, and players can earn some equipment by doing so. After the fight, players will end up in a cave eventually, and this is where they will get two items:Flask of Crimson Tears, and Flask of Cerulean Tears.

How to Heal in Elden Ring
TheFlask of Crimson Tears is used to heal players inElden Ring, and they’ll start with three. The other Flask will replenish players' FP, which is the blue bar on the top-left of the screen underneath the red bar. This is used for things like magic and summoning spirits to help in battles. Players should know that these Flasks will refill whenever playersrest at a Site of Lost Grace,Elden Ring’s checkpoints.
Touse the Flask of Crimson Tears to heal, players can press the Square (PS) or X button (Xbox) when the item is equipped (press the down button on the d-pad to switch between items). At a Site of Lost Grace, players canadd charges to both Flasks, which adds extra uses to them, but players will need to findGolden Seedsaround the world.Sacred Tearswill also be required to increase the amount of HP/FP replenished by flasks.
How to Increase Max Health in Elden Ring
The most efficient way to increase max HP inElden Ringis to level up the Vigor stat at any Site of Lost Grace. Players will have the option to use Runes to level up after speaking to Melina, who appears after players rest at the Gatefront Site of Lost Grace.
Increasing the Vigor stat also affects fire resistance and immunity. And as for the Runes, players can get them by defeating enemies; there are also items that can be used to gain extra Runes as well.
Keepsakes
When players create their starting character inElden Ring, there will be alist of Keepsakes to choose from. If players want a little bit of an extra health boost, they should select the Crimson Amber Medallion, which raises max HP. The Keepsake can also be purchased from the Merchant at the Castle Morne Rampart.
