Maintaining Konoko's health and stamina is crucial for survival. You'll find various pickups scattered throughout levels:
- Health Pack (Small): Restores a small portion of health. Often found in medical stations or dropped by certain enemies.
- Health Pack (Large): Restores a significant portion of health. Usually found in critical areas or before major encounters.
- Stamina Pack: Instantly refills Konoko's stamina bar. Less common than health packs, but invaluable for sustained melee combat or rapid evasion.
- Body Armor: Provides a temporary shield that absorbs damage before Konoko's health is affected. Indicated by a blue bar above your health. Essential for tough fights.
Always prioritize picking up health and armor when available, especially before entering unknown areas or engaging large groups of enemies. Remember that Konoko's stamina regenerates naturally over time, but packs provide an instant boost.
