Quick Answer: Which Heal When?
Meat finds are free exploration sustain, flasks are your only instant mid-combat channel, and mirrors of life are strategic resets that also save and fast-travel. Because there is no shop-verified potion ladder at launch, the comparison that matters is situational: never flask outside combat, never pass a mirror unactivated.
| Channel | Cost | Speed | Strategic Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meat finds | Free (exploration) | Pickup | Sustain between fights |
| Flasks | Consumable stock | Instant | Only mid-fight emergency heal |
| Mirrors of life | Activation | Instant | Save + fast travel + full restore |
Mirror coverage is also completion content — Narcissus (every mirror of life activated) sits at 0.2% globally.
