Maintaining James's health is paramount. Health items are scattered throughout Silent Hill, but they are not abundant. Use them wisely, and don't be afraid to retreat if your health is critically low.
List of Health Items
| Item | Effect | Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Health Drink | Restores a small amount of health. | Your most common healing item. Use for minor damage or to top off health before a tough encounter. |
| First-Aid Kit | Restores a moderate amount of health. | More potent than a Health Drink. Save these for when you've taken significant damage. |
| Ampoule | Restores all health and provides temporary invincibility. | Extremely rare and powerful. Save for boss fights or critical situations where you need to survive a barrage of attacks. |
Tips: Don't use a First-Aid Kit if a Health Drink will suffice. Always try to heal in a safe room or after clearing an area. Running low on health can influence certain endings.
