The Forest: How to Heal

Andnight Games' the forest is a horror survival game that drops you on a mysterious peninsula full of cannibals and other creatures. These terrifying man-eaters try to devour you at any opportunity. To face them and move forward, you need to maintain your health.

While exploring the forest island, your character can take damage from enemies or get hurt in many other ways, such as falling off a high cliff or suffering from thirst. It can reduce your health, and even lead to death. Therefore, it is important to recover quickly. Read this guide to learn how to heal the forest.

How to heal in the forest

There are many ways to heal the forest. Some great options include:

Take medicine

One of the quickest ways to restore your health in the game is to take meds. You can find these pills in plane wreckage or in suitcases at the beginning. Later, you will find them in caves, near cannibal villages, or in various places, especially where there are dead bodies.

When you find potions, press the 'E' button to add them to your inventory. If you find a suitcase, hit it with an ax or rock to open it and access the contents. Just keep in mind that the spans are random and limited, so it's wise not to use them all at once.

Eat fresh meat

Another way to heal faster is to eat fresh meat. Thankfully, there are a variety of raw meats available in the wilderness, including:

• Raw fish meat
• Raw rabbit meat
• Raw venison
• Tortoise meat
• Raw small meat
• Raw oysters

Raw meat comes from hunting wild animals like turtles, rabbits, deer, fish, birds, etc. Once you have the meat, you need to cook it by setting up a basic fire pit using seven leaves and two sticks. After you eat the meat, your character will heal and regain some health. Just like in the real world, eating spoiled meat can harm your health, so stick to fresh, cooked meat only.

Restore health from plants

You can also pick some plants to regain health, eg Coneflower and Aloe vera. These herbs are very rare, but you can find them in the woods, around yachts, in coastal areas, or near marigold and chicory growing. Once collected, left-click on them from your list to mash them up. You can also collect their seeds and plant them in your base garden to keep a constant supply.

Craft Herbal Medicine

In addition to eating herbs, you can also mix them into herbal medicines to help you heal the forest. Here are two types of potions you can make in the game:
