Leon will likely receive a great deal of damage during his search for Ashley. Thankfully,RE4remakeallows its players toheal Leonin a variety of different ways. That said, not all healing methods are as obvious as others.
Healing With Green Herbs in Resident Evil 4 Remake
While playing throughResident Evil 4remake, players will stumble upon a variety of unique collectibles. Some, when found, can besold to the Merchant, while others can be transformed into something else via theCrafting menu. Green Herbs can be found quite frequently by exploring new areas, which is good considering how valuable their healing properties can be.
Upon finding a Green Herb inResident Evil 4remake, Leon can consume it to restore some of his health by selecting it in his inventory and choosing the’Use’option. The Crafting menu can also be used to combine Green Herbs to formMixed Herbs. The more Green Herbs used to create a Mixed Herb, the more health the mixture will restore.
Combining aRed Herbwith aGreen Herbwill increase the overall health the mixture can restore, and combining aGreen Herbwith aYellow Herbwill partially heal Leon while alsopermanently increasing his maximum health.
Healing With First Aid Spray in Resident Evil 4 Remake
Another great way to restore health inResident Evil 4remake is to acquire and use a First Aid Spray. Unlike herbs, finding First Aid Sprays while exploring the world isn’t overly reliable, as they are much rarer. The best way to acquire one is tovisit the Merchantand buy one from him for5,000 Pesetas. Players who are short on Pesetas should check Leon’s inventory to see if he has anytreasures to sell.

Using the First Aid Spray will completelyrestore all of Leon’s lost health, so players should ensure to only ever make use of this healing method when Leon’s health meter is nearly empty; otherwise, they should prioritize using items that heal smaller amounts. To administer the First Aid Spray, the player must find it in Leon’s inventory, select it, and then choose the’Use’option.
Other Ways to Heal in Resident Evil 4 Remake
While Mixed Herbs and First Aid Sprays are great healing methods, Leon won’t always have access to them. If players are struggling to locate the ingredients required to make Mixed Herbs, or simply can’t afford to purchase any First Aid Sprays from the Merchant, they should keep an eye out while progressing through each chapter, as there are other restorative items available.
Though these items might not restore as much health as a Mixed Herb or a First Aid Spray, they can come in handy if the player is struggling to survive certain encounters. TheBlack Bass, found in shallow waters; theChicken EggandBrown Chicken Egg, found on the ground next to chickens; and theViper, found slithering around different locations andby destroying crates, once collected, can all be used to replenish a portion of Leon’s health.
Like with Mixed Herbs and First Aid Sprays, these other healing items can be consumed by selecting them in Leon’s inventory and choosing the’Use’option.
Resident Evil 4remakeis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
