Using Health Patches to Restore Lost Hearts

What Patches Do

Health Patches are consumable recovery items for your heart canister health. There are four: Red Health Patch, Yellow Health Patch, Green Health Patch, and Blue Health Patch. Each colour matches a canister tier, so a patch restores the health tied to that colour.

When you take damage that eats into your bonus hearts, the canister itself is not destroyed — but you need a patch to refill it. Use the patch that matches the colour of the canister you are wearing.

Practical Use

Keep a stack of the patch colour that matches your current belt tier in your inventory at all times. After a fight, eat or apply the patch to top your bonus hearts back up before the next encounter.

If you upgrade to a higher colour belt, switch your patch supply to match. Carrying the wrong colour patch means you cannot refill the canister you are actually wearing.

Patches are crafted, not found, so plan a small production line: process your Melted hearts into Miniature hearts, then into canisters, and keep a separate batch of patch materials on hand. Because patches are consumed on use, treat them like food — restock before you leave your base rather than mid-adventure.
