Summary

When players relocate to Raccoon City inResident Evil 2, they are bound to want to keep a few healing items on standby for when they inevitably get punched or bitten. Healing is essential to survival inResident Evil 2, and the remake features plenty of herbs that players can pick up and combine together, but what are the best herb combinations that will see players get the most usage out of these plants?

All herb combinations inResident Evil 2(2019) can do something to benefit the player, but their desired effects are different and situational. Players can find each of these combinations below, as well as just what exactly is it that they do to help against the zombies andthe dreaded Tyrant of Mr. X.

Restores A Moderate Amount Of Health

Combining two green herbs inResident Evil 2will see players restore a good amount of their health. It works a lot better than just using one herb, but players might not want to waste two herbs on such little healing potential. It’s best to avoid using this herb until players have sustained enough damage to warrant its use, otherwise, players might want to invest in a different herb to consume forthis survival horror.

6Green + Red

Fully Restores Health

If players are really in a pinch, then combining the green and red herbs together makes one of the best herb recipes inResident Evil 2Remake. This herb will fully heal the player, regardless of how low or high their health is in thisblend of action and horrortitle.

Just like combining the two green herbs, it’s best to avoid using this herb until necessary, as it would be a shame to waste a healing item that is essentially an extra life based on how much health it provides.

Cures Poison, Restores Some Health

Being poisoned inResident Evil 2is no joke, so the fact that players can combine a green and blue herb together to create a miracle of medicine that cures poison and restores health is a grand choice. Whilst poison cannot kill the player, it can certainly provide them with a bad time, as their health will continue to drain. Down in the sewers, the player is bound for a bad time without this herb combination tokeep Leon alive.

4Red + Blue

Cures Poison, Grants Temporary Immunity

If players are readying for a fight against the poisonous enemies that lurk in the sewers, the combination of the red herb and the blue herb is perhaps one of the safest bets they can make.

With these two herbs combined, players are able to not only cure their poison but develop temporary immunity to its effects, allowing them to getclose and personal with their attackerswho dare try and poison the player, whether that be Leon or Claire.

Cures Poison, Restores A Moderate Amount Of Health

If players do not care about immunity to poison, then the 3 herb blend of green, green, and blue can certainly help. This combination allows players to cure their poison and restore a large amount of health, providing them with an opportunity to restore any health lost intheir fight with enemies with poison. Yet, since poison is not exactly the most common ailment ofResident Evil 2, it might be wise to keep this one reserved in the back pocket for more dire situations.

2Green + Green + Green

Fully Restores Health, Provides Temporary Damage Resistance Buff

Players can become the walking tank thateven Mr. X would fear, as this blend of green, green, and green provides a full restoration of health, as well as a damage resistance buff that will see players shrug off enemy attacks like they are made of stone. Of course, these attacks still hurt, but players won’t have to fear being bitten so much. However, it would be a shame to lose all that precious health that was just fully restored.

Fully Restores Health, Protects From Poison, Reduces Damage Taken Temporarily

Combining all herbs inResident Evil 2Remakeprovides a trinity of cures, and the three herbs available will create a nice advantage for players who consume it. With the green, red, and blue combination, players can fully restore their health, become immune to poison, and have a damage resistance buff. Yet, the latter two or temporary, so it’s best not to run in and assume that Leon or Claire could take on any battle that is thrown their way.
