8 More Bizarre Methods To Heal Yourself In Video Games

8. Planting A Tree - Shadowrun (2007)

So, let's begin with a question.

In battle, while the bullets are flying all around you and magic is scorching the mortar next to your precious bonce, what's the absolute last thing you'd think to do as the enemy forces advance on your position?

If you said "plant a !*$% tree" then congrats you win absolutely nothing other than a bullet in the back while you're tending to your botanical wonder.

Say hello to The Tree Of Life from Shadowrun, a spell that you can bust out to regain a few precious points of health should you find you've been sipping on a shotgun shell sandwich. Now while an actual Tree Of Life does make some sense as an object of renewal and life seeing as it's an object that appears across a multitude of religions and mythological tales, it makes decidedly less sense when applied to the Shadowrun game itself.

And why is that? Well because the tree in question apparently doesn't give two squirts of piss who's next to it and will heal both you and your team, but also any enemies near it.

Thus you have a spell that looks and acts in a truly bizarre manner, a giant tree of love that you might end up hating as it regenerates your enemies back to full health.
