Moving to Safe Zones
You can partially recover your health by moving to safe zones located in various places in the field. Safe zones are areas with light, so when you find a place with strong light other than the rest area, move there to recover your health.
Full Recovery is Not Possible
Even when moving to a safe zone, you can't fully restore your health. The design allows you to recover only a certain percentage of your maximum health once, preventing repeated entry and exit for full recovery or healing again after a specific time.

Open the Equipment Menu and Equip the Recovery Item
To use a recovery item, open the equipment menu and equip the recovery item. Note that you cannot use it immediately from the equipment menu, so it is recommended to retreat or find a safe area before attempting to recover in case of emergencies.
It is Recommended to Equip Recovery Items in the Quick Slot
If you want to use a recovery item quickly, it is recommended to equip it in the quick slot menu. By equipping and using the item from the quick slot, you can take advantage of opportunities in the enemy's actions and gain various benefits.
Hold Down R2 to Recover
Once you have equipped the recovery item, hold down the R2 button to recover. You can only recover when the recovery gauge is full by pressing and holding the R2 button, and you cannot recover if you interrupt it. If you are having trouble recovering, try holding down the R2 button until the display disappears.
