How to Regenerate Health, Energy, and Essence in Geneforge 2 – Infestation

Health, Energy, and Essence are the most important resources in Geneforge 2 – Infestation. Health keeps you alive, Energy allows you to cast spells, and Essence is important for summoning more units. If you are wondering how to regenerate Health, Energy, and Essence in Geneforge 2 -Infestation, I’ll gladly help you.

How to Restore Health, Energy, and Essence in Geneforge 2 – Infestation

Health, Energy, and Essence in Geneforge 2 – Infestation can generally be restored by visiting a safe city where you can rest. Resting will restore your bars to the maximum.

There’s just one specific thing I must mention regarding Essence because you will probably notice that it’s not going back up. When you pay the cost for a summon, you will not be able to recuperate the lost Essence until the summoned unit dies. It’s some sort of an “upkeep” cost. Otherwise, you would be able to spam very powerful units limitlessly. And that wouldn’t be a balanced gameplay, would it now?

Another way to regain Health, for example, is to consume various healing/food items found in the world (such as the item shown in the screenshot above) or cast a healing spell on yourself. And let’s not forget the pools that you’ve probably stumbled upon already.

Where to Find Pools in Geneforge 2 – Infestation

During the tutorial, you will be shown a couple of differently colored pools that regenerate your Health, Energy, and Essence bars. Contrary to the feeling you might get when you keep seeing them in the tutorials, they are not going to be everywhere.

Pools are very limited in Geneforge 2 – Infestation. You will mostly find them in towns, in secluded chambers, so you must not rely on their presence to recover you. You’ll need to play strategically and manage your limited resources carefully.
