Imagine you’re so close to finishing a dungeon, with only a room or two to complete, but you’re down to your last heart. What then? How do you heal in Cult of the Lamb? It’s possible to regain your red hearts, earn a blue heart, and stay in the fight. Here is how to heal in Cult of the Lamb!
How to Heal in Cult of the Lamb
To heal in Cult of the Lamb, you can acquire additional Red Hearts to fill up your health pool by opening the chest at the end of each room. These will either partially or fully fill a Red Heart. It’s often enough to keep you going, though.
Additionally, the most common means to heal include:
- Tarot Cards: The occasional Tarot Cards, such as The Hearts, will provide additional Red Hearts. This larger health pool is only available for the duration of the dungeon, however.
- Vampiric Weapons: Once you unlock the ability to equip Vampiric Weapons, each enemy you slay with one will drop a Red Heart. Even after unlocking the weapon type via Sermons, however, they’re quite rare.
Furthermore, as you progress through a Crusade, you may occasionally spot a room with a heart icon. This room features Ratoo and a party of dancing, living hearts surrounding a pool of blood and stones. Here, you can heal to full health.
All Heart Types in Cult of the Lamb
There are three types of hearts in Cult of the Lamb, including:
- Red Hearts: Your standard health pool. You can restore these by scooping up hearts in dungeons.
- Blue Hearts: A temporary heart that you cannot restore but eats up damage before your red health pool takes a hit. It does not follow you outside of a Crusade!
- Diseased Hearts: A rotten heart capable of dealing damage to all enemies on-screen when you take damage. It’s like poison.
While you always have a pool of Red Hearts available to you, the Blue Hearts and Diseased Hearts only become available when you draw Tarot Cards or in the off-chance that you discover one as loot from a chest.
