10 Bizarre Methods To Heal Yourself In Video Games

Now, meditation is one of the more sensible routes of healing in video games. Since meditation in real life is often a restorative process - providing you both mental respite and physical relaxation - it makes sense that this translates over to the gaming world as a way to heal.

However, it can be a little funny to think about how this works in Okami. You can heal in what appears to be a meditation state, by using the Wood Mat Holy Artifact to get some rest in. However, the interesting part of this is that it costs money every second or so you use it, and moving in any way cancels it out - although this second part is fair, because obviously otherwise you could use it while running around the whole game.

Though there's nothing strictly wrong with this concept, the idea of meditation - which is largely considered a spiritual thing or at least something that requires mental focus and little else - being able to be sold for a couple bucks a second is more than a little wild. Maybe just... don't use the mat to meditate?
