How to heal in Vampire Crawlers

Where to look for HP recovery in Vampire Crawlers Healing in Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors is a lot stranger than you'd expect. In the early game, it's all about discovering hidden roast chickens inside breakable torches (there must be some fascinating lore behind that), but eventually, you'll move on to unlockable cards that require an unlockable character, as well as special gems and evolutions. No, restoring HP isn't straightforward, but it'll become easier once you know where to look. Beware that the only healing method in Vampire Crawlers' (very) early game is to find chickens in torches. Bump into a torch to break it, then touch the chicken to consume it and recover 10 HP. Beware that torches will look a bit different depending on the level. As shown below, the Mad Forest has pillars, while the Inlaid Library has candelabras. Most torches, however, only offer coins instead of chickens, so you must be quite lucky to find them. Soon enough, you can unlock more reliable healing methods like the Pummarola cards.
