Surviving as a Vampire: Mastering Healing in V Rising

Just because players get to play as a vampire in V Rising doesn't mean they are invincible. Despite having a nearly unbeatable character, players still need to be cautious about taking damage and heal themselves during those crucial moments where survival chances may be slim.

Although healing is a common feature in games, many players tend to overlook this aspect in V Rising. Although the game does provide information on healing, it doesn't go into detail on how players can heal. Thankfully, this guide will cover everything players need to know about healing in V Rising, as well as other valuable tips and tricks.

How to Heal in V Rising

Here are the different ways players can heal in V Rising:

1. Consumables

Using consumables to heal during battles in V Rising is highly recommended. The game provides players with various consumables that can aid in healing. Some of these consumables are available early in the game, while others become accessible as you progress.

The Rat is the first consumable that players can use for healing, but it provides limited blood. Consumables like the Tainted Heart and Unsullied Heart can also be used for healing, but they do not restore health. Instead, they can increase blood which is useful for Blood Mend. The Vermin Salve is another early-game healing item that can be crafted from the crafting menu (Press Tab). It restores 2.5% of maximum health every 1.5 seconds for 15 seconds. The Blood Rose Brew can be found in camp loot and restores 4% of maximum health per second for 10 seconds when used.

In V Rising, healing is an essential aspect of gameplay, especially during intense boss battles. The Unsullied Heart and Untainted Heart items increase blood which is crucial for the powerful healing ability called Blood Mend. While this ability takes longer to heal, it fully restores the player's HP, making it the strongest healing ability available.

To activate Blood Mend, players need to press and hold the left CTRL key. If they need to jump back into combat, they can cancel the ability by pressing the left mouse button. With this ability in their arsenal, players can brave even the toughest challenges in V Rising.

As long as there is blood in the Blood Pool, players will have the ability to auto-heal. However, if the Blood Pool is depleted, players will experience rapid health loss. To activate the auto-heal, players must seek out a safe location and avoid taking further damage. It's worth noting that auto-healing is most effective during nighttime hours. To ensure optimal performance, players should regularly feed on creatures and humans to keep their Blood Pool fully stocked.
