All herb combinations in Resident Evil 2 (2019) can do something to benefit the player, but their desired effects are different and situational. Players can find each of these combinations below, as well as just what exactly is it that they do to help against the zombies and the dreaded Tyrant of Mr. X.

7 Green + Green

Restores A Moderate Amount Of Health

Combining two green herbs in Resident Evil 2 will see players restore a good amount of their health. It works a lot better than just using one herb, but players might not want to waste two herbs on such little healing potential. It’s best to avoid using this herb until players have sustained enough damage to warrant its use, otherwise, players might want to invest in a different herb to consume for this survival horror.

6 Green + Red

Fully Restores Health

Just like combining the two green herbs, it’s best to avoid using this herb until necessary, as it would be a shame to waste a healing item that is essentially an extra life based on how much health it provides.

5 Green + Blue

Cures Poison, Restores Some Health

Being poisoned in Resident Evil 2 is no joke, so the fact that players can combine a green and blue herb together to create a miracle of medicine that cures poison and restores health is a grand choice. Whilst poison cannot kill the player, it can certainly provide them with a bad time, as their health will continue to drain. Down in the sewers, the player is bound for a bad time without this herb combination to keep Leon alive.

4 Red + Blue

Cures Poison, Grants Temporary Immunity

If players are readying for a fight against the poisonous enemies that lurk in the sewers, the combination of the red herb and the blue herb is perhaps one of the safest bets they can make.

The Resident Evil franchise is the face of the horror game genre; however, which of the series' games takes the longest to beat?

With these two herbs combined, players are able to not only cure their poison but develop temporary immunity to its effects, allowing them to get close and personal with their attackers who dare try and poison the player, whether that be Leon or Claire.

3 Green + Green + Blue

Cures Poison, Restores A Moderate Amount Of Health

If players do not care about immunity to poison, then the 3 herb blend of green, green, and blue can certainly help. This combination allows players to cure their poison and restore a large amount of health, providing them with an opportunity to restore any health lost in their fight with enemies with poison. Yet, since poison is not exactly the most common ailment of Resident Evil 2, it might be wise to keep this one reserved in the back pocket for more dire situations.

2 Green + Green + Green

Fully Restores Health, Provides Temporary Damage Resistance Buff

Players can become the walking tank that even Mr. X would fear, as this blend of green, green, and green provides a full restoration of health, as well as a damage resistance buff that will see players shrug off enemy attacks like they are made of stone. Of course, these attacks still hurt, but players won’t have to fear being bitten so much. However, it would be a shame to lose all that precious health that was just fully restored.

1 Green + Red + Blue

Fully Restores Health, Protects From Poison, Reduces Damage Taken Temporarily

Combining all herbs in Resident Evil 2Remake provides a trinity of cures, and the three herbs available will create a nice advantage for players who consume it. With the green, red, and blue combination, players can fully restore their health, become immune to poison, and have a damage resistance buff. Yet, the latter two or temporary, so it’s best not to run in and assume that Leon or Claire could take on any battle that is thrown their way.
