Exploring the vibrant depths of Proteus in Subnautica 2 is an adventure filled with both wonder and peril. While the ocean offers incredible sights, it also conceals deadly threats. If you are playing on Creative Mode, you can relax knowing your character is effectively invulnerable. However, for those diving into Survival Mode, managing your health is critical to staying alive.
This guide details how to heal in Subnautica 2 and keep your HP high while you explore the deep.
Understanding Health Depletion
Before you can effectively heal, you must understand what drains your health bar. At the start of your journey, your character possesses 100 HP. This resource is depleted by various environmental hazards and biological needs:
- Biological Needs: If you go hungry or thirsty, your health drops by -4 HP each time the respective meter ticks.
- Environmental Damage: Extreme heat and other environmental hazards deal variable damage based on severity.
- Hostile Encounters: Standard enemies and hostile creatures deal damage upon contact.
- Leviathan Attacks: Large Leviathans are considered hostile. Unlike normal enemies, they can gobble you up whole, resulting in instant death.
- Oxygen Depletion: Running out of air causes your screen to darken. If you cannot reach oxygen in time, your character will perish.
Using Medical Gel Sacs
To recover from damage and status effects, you need to utilize specific healing items. The primary method for restoring health is by consuming Medical Gel Sacs.
These sacs are harvested from Acidic Raions, a type of underwater plant found throughout the ocean. By gathering these plants and converting them into Medical Gel Sacs, you can quickly replenish your health and continue your exploration of Proteus. Keeping a steady supply of these sacs is essential for surviving the more dangerous biomes.
