If you have read the above data you should understand this, but combining Herbal Medicine and Sacred Water, there are only 35 healing items in the game. In other words, you will only have 35 chances to recover HP. Stone Mirrors have a practical use here. On Night 1 there are five, six on Night 2, four on Night 3 and two on the Final Night, for a total of 17. Reserve these, and when you get in a dangerous situation purposely take damage, using the Stone Mirror to restore your health.
