Hellraiser: Revival is all kinds of messed up, but in the best ways. From the ways it portrays the Cenobites to that of the horrors of the Labyrinth, it keeps everything within the theme of the universe, and that certainly extends to how you increase health in Hellraiser: Revival. If you’re here, maybe you’re dying a lot, maybe you’re wondering if it’s possible, or maybe you’re just sick of waiting to be able to tank more hits, but either way, by the end of the guide you’ll know exactly how to increase your health in the game.
How to Increase Health in Hellraiser: Revival
Hellraiser: Revival doesn’t hold your hand in every way. Sure, it explains things like upgrading weapons, recipes, and combat, but other things, like increasing health, aren’t explained until the moment you find the way to do them. In the case of increasing your health, it’s quite a bit into the game before you even get the opportunity.
One of the earliest opportunities to increase health in Hellraiser: Revival comes after you’ve escaped the graveyard and gotten through the cemetery gate, setting Charlotte on fire in the process. You’ll head down a hill and have a chat with Pinhead and you’ll strike a bargain, and follow him into the Labyrinth whilst he talks at you, telling you what has happened, and what he expects from you. Shortly thereafter, he’ll abandon you in the Labyrinth, and you’ll have to make your own way through it.
One click and you're done. Thank you!
It’s a linear path, hard to get lost in, but there comes a time where you can head left, which is the direction you have to proceed in, or right. This is right after the first time you have to run around the spinning diamond trap, which follows the track along the floor. If you head right, you’ll enter a larger room with a podium on the other side. Go to that, and you’ll see a monster of sorts, that when you press the ‘Increase Health’ prompt on it, will stab you. Aiden will make comment about how it ‘feels pretty good’, and your health will increase.
Again, this is the first opportunity to increase health in Hellraiser: Revival, but not the last. You’ll need to find four of these podiums throughout the game, and all of them are during your Labyrinth travels.
