How to Heal in Soulmask: Bandages, Splints, Tisanes and Food (1.0 Guide)

To heal in Soulmask, you need more than food: bleeding, broken bones and infections each have their own cure. The quickest fix is a Simple Bandage, made from two Linen. It stops bleeding, restores 20 HP per second for 20 seconds and cures minor external injuries. Here's every way to recover in Soulmask 1.0, from your first bandage to the tisanes that cure everything.

How do you heal quickly in Soulmask?

Craft Simple Bandages. They only need 2 Linen and take two seconds to make by hand, so carry a stack from the start. Using one stops bleeding straight away and heals over 20 seconds, so step out of the fight before you use it. Later, upgrade to Premium Bandages (1% of max HP + 20 per second) and Refined Bandages (2% of max HP + 40 per second), both made at a Loom. They also cure all external injuries, not just minor ones.

How do you fix broken bones in Soulmask?

Bone injuries need their own cure. Splints (2 Plank, 2 Linen, 2 Thick Rope) fix minor bone injuries. For severe ones, make a Gypsum Bandage (2 Gypsum, 2 Coarse Cotton, 2 Thick Rope), which cures both minor and severe bone injuries. Both are hand crafted, so you can make them in the field.

How do you cure infections in Soulmask?

A Healing Tisane cures latent infections and stops them from getting worse or spreading to your tribe. Brew it at a Brewing Stand from 5 Gypsum, 2 Plant Essence, 5 Herb and a Bowl. The endgame Special Healing Tisane cures ailments and completely heals the body.

Does food heal you in Soulmask?

Food isn't a direct cure, but staying fed and watered keeps you in shape to recover. Cook meat and plants at a campfire rather than eating them raw, and keep a stack of cooked food with your bandages. For injuries, bleeding and infections, you need the medicines above.

Heal faster at your Bonfire

A Bonfire (unlocked at Awareness Strength 5 on your starting mask) gives everyone nearby the Sweet Home buff. It speeds up recovery from injuries, reduces food use, slightly raises elemental resistance and keeps dangerous creatures calm. Resting at base is the cheapest way to recover after a hard trip.

How do you heal your tribesmen?

Put a bandage or other healing item in a tribesman's inventory and use it from there. Since the 11 June 2026 update, there's also a "Downed but Not Dead" option for tribesmen, switched on by default on some lower difficulties: badly hurt tribesmen go down instead of dying, so you can get them back on their feet.
