Wildermyth version 1.0 is finally here, but there's one feature that players are finding that is still missing. As far as anyone can tell, there doesn't seem to be any reliable way to heal in the game, and some players are starting to wonder whether there are actually any healing spells or anything like that in the game. The short answer to this question is that there are no healing spells in Wildermyth, but that doesn't mean that players can't heal or otherwise bolster their HP for tough fights. Here's everything players need to know about healing in the game.
Although Wildermyth has been in early access for quite some time, the full version 1.0 has only just recently launched. As with most early access games, this has caused a spike in the player base, so there are a lot of newer players trying to figure out how the game works. Healing is an important part of any RPG, so this is an understandable question.
How to Heal in Wildermyth
There is only one way to restore lost HP in Wildermyth, and it doesn't require any action by the player. As players traverse and explore the world map, their heroes will automatically regenerate HP. Outside of this, the only thing that resembles healing is the Aid ability. It is an ability that is available to all classes that grants temporary hit points, but this isn't really true healing. Without the use of mods, there aren't any other ways that players can heal their characters up.
Why is There no Healing in Wildermyth
Wildermyth developer World Walkers have actually addressed the lack of healing abilities in the game. In the official FAQ for the game's Steam Page, World Walkers explains that the lack of healing abilities in intentional. After explaining that players can heal their heroes passively simply by exploring the world map, it goes on to clarify that magical healing doesn't fit into the lore of the world. In its own words, "Limb augmentation would simply not make as much sense if magical sources of healing were readily available!"
World Walkers does leave a link to the Steam Workshop for Wildermyth, implying that players might be able to find mods that add healing to the game there. The statement makes it pretty clear that healing won't be added to the game anytime soon, however, at least not in any kind of magical sense.
Wildermyth is available now on PC.
