The Rogue Prince of Persia Guide | How To Increase Maximum Health

The Rogue Prince of Persia places you in control of the Prince during an invasion by the Huns, and every attempt sends you back to camp when you fall. Because there is no option to continue a run after death, every point of health becomes important as you move through each area. 

Increasing maximum health gives you more room for mistakes and helps you push deeper into each run. This guide explains how you can raise your maximum health and how you can restore lost HP while exploring.

Increasing Maximum Health

To raise your maximum health, you must locate items labeled Health Boost. These appear occasionally during a run, and each one adds a set amount of permanent health for that attempt. 

For example, a Medium Health Boost adds 100 points to your total. This increase may seem small during early runs, but it plays a major role in keeping you alive in the game’s perma-death structure.

Since Health Boost items are uncommon, you should search each area thoroughly and make sure you do not miss them. Any increase to your maximum health allows you to survive more hits and move through Persia’s levels with better durability.

Healing Options

You begin every run with a single healing potion, which gives you only one reliable heal early on. However, there are a few additional ways to recover HP as you progress, and these become important once the starting potion is gone.

Using Medallions

Several medallions provide healing effects. Health Insurance restores HP based on the amount of gold you spend. Restorative Dream Fragment gives you HP whenever you find a Well of Dreams. Another option is Vampiric Demise, which recovers both health and energy when triggered. These medallions can offer consistent healing depending on how your run unfolds.

Buying Potions From Shops

Shops appear across different levels, and you can use gold to purchase supplies, including healing potions. Keeping gold on hand makes it easier to restore HP when you reach a shop.

Drinking From Fountains

You will also come across fountains during your journey. Interacting with a fountain restores a portion of your HP, giving you an additional way to stay alive when other options are not available.
