Manage Stamina While Sprinting Long Distances
Reading Your Stamina Meter
Your stamina bar appears directly above your health hearts on screen. Watch this bar as you sprint—it depletes as you move at high speed and refills when you stop or walk normally.
Sprint Efficiently
1. Sprint in bursts rather than continuously—sprint for short distances, then walk to let your stamina recover
2. Stop before empty to avoid being forced to walk; this gives you time to react to threats
3. Heal between sprints if possible, since more health means more total stamina
When Stamina Runs Out
If your stamina meter reaches zero, you cannot sprint until it refills. You'll be forced to walk at normal speed. This is your cue to:
- Find cover or safe ground
- Drink healing potions if low on health
Long-Distance Travel
For extended journeys, alternate between sprinting and walking. Equip a Vigour-enchanted chestplate to extend your sprint duration and reduce the number of rest stops needed.
