7. Know Your Herbs

Four recovery items are all you get, to see HUNK through to the end of his monster-filled gauntlet of a campaign, so munching on herbs after every bite and scratch is a big no-no. Proper rationing of each restorative is a must and knowing when best to use each will be the difference between a happy, healthy HUNK and a dead one.

As in the main game, you'll want to reserve the sole first aid spray and red+blue+green herb mix for when HUNK's health falls into Danger status, but the other two are best used as preventive, rather than reactive heals. The blue+red mix, in particular, won't restore health at all, but rather, provide a hefty defence boost best used just prior to the initial Licker encounter in the West Wing of RCPD.

As for the green+blue mix, keep hold of it until you've made it past the Lesser G Monsters in the sewers. Once they're dealt with, you'll be free from the threat of poison and can use the medicine for its potent defensive properties whenever you please.
