Consume Herbs or Eggs

Another way to recover health is to consume herbs and eggs. Both of them only provide small amounts of health recovery compared to First Aid Spray but can heal more through combining herbs.

Mix Herbs for Stronger Effects

Herbs heal more damage when they are combined. For example, combining two green herbs heals double the health of a single green herb. Select the herbs you want to combine from Leon's attache case.
