How to increase your health in Creatures of Ava: All Health Kit locations

Creatures of Ava lets you permanently upgrade three aspects of Vic’s kit—Stamina, backpack size, and health.

The game has four unique biomes: Tamura Grasslands, Nari Jungle, Maruba Swamp, and Antar Dunes. You must find Health Kits on different parts of every biome to increase your maximum health in Creatures of Ava.

You begin your journey in the grasslands and unlock other biomes as you complete all the quests in the region. Several infected and wild creatures attack when you’re in their proximity, so increasing your maximum health makes survival easier. We found Health Kits in all the biomes except the Antar Dunes, with most kit locations requiring you to progress the story to unlock regions. Once you complete all the Nari Jungle quests and advance to the next biome, you can’t return to collect its Permanent Upgrades. However, you can use the Teleporter to travel and collect the upgrades in other biomes anytime.

So, here are all the Health Kit locations in Creatures of Ava.

Creatures of Ava Tamura Grasslands Health Kit locations

We came across three Health Kits in Tamura Grasslands in Creatures of Ava:

1) Behind the waterfall in Cascade of Joy

Head to Cascade of Joy, located north of the Tamura Grasslands.
Walk toward the waterfall, and your character prompts a hint to check behind the waterfall.
Go past the waterfall to find the Health Kit and some other documents.

2) Behind an infected flower in Antaris hermitage

You can’t enter the Antaris hermitage as a guard asks for the password. Complete the quests to unlock the Antaris hermitage and then follow the steps below to get another Health Kit in Creatures of Ava:

Navigate to the upper floor of the castle on the right of the Antaris entrance. To do this, you must clear infected plants.
Head to the zipline activation area, where an infected flower is blocking an entrance to a small chamber.
Clear the infected flower to reach the Health Kit on the other side.

3) In the Forbidden Forest

The third Health Kit in Tamura Grasslands is hidden in the Forbidden Forest, located toward the right of the Antaris hermitage entrance. Walk over the red spikes on the ground to get to the Health Kit’s location. You can walk over these lethal spikes once you learn the Hanar (shield ability) after reaching the third biome, the Maruba Swamp.

So, progress further into the story, return to the Forbidden Forest, and follow the steps below to get the Health Kit:

Go deeper into the Forbidden Forest and take the left path.
Use Hanar to cast a temporary shield on yourself before heading forward.
Use Dhom to delay the vines from blocking the entrance and keep recasting your shield.
Use Ushun to lift the rock blocking the second entrance and head left, then right.
You will reach a structure without the red spikes. You must walk over the spikes again toward the left of this structure to reach an Antaris statue.
Next to the statue, the Health Kit is on the crates. You can clear the infected flower to quickly return to the Forbidden Forest’s entrance.

Creatures of Ava Nari Jungle Health Kit locations

We found two Health Kits while in Nari Jungle, and both of these require the help of creatures to get to the hidden locations:

1) Near the Giggling waterfall Teleporter

Head to the water body near the Giggling waterfall Teleporter.
You can spot a creature teleporter behind a small entrance blocked by flowery vines.
Use your flute to tame a Shapur in the region (unicorn-like creature) and control it to use its sonic scream ability to clear the blocked entrance.
You can find the glowing Health Kit on the crates next to the creature teleporter.

2) North of the Experiment Room

Navigate north of the Experiment Room to find an area blocked by an upright wooden bridge.
Use your flute to tame a Zard and control the creature to enter the hole toward the left of the bridge. Then, walk on the tree trunk to enter another hole.
Here, walk toward the gate and use Zard’s ability to break the ropes holding the bridge.
Disconnect from the creature and enter this area to collect the Health Kit.

Creatures of Ava Maruba Swamp Health Kit locations

We came across three Health Kits in Maruba Swamp:

1) South of the Swamp teleport secondary station

Navigate to almost the southern edge of the Maruba Swamp. Reach the area with three flower buds and an upright bridge. Here you can spot a golden and green castle next to this region. Once in this area, follow these steps:

Use your flute to tame the two creatures in the region: Shum and Raga.
Control Raga to enter the hole that leads to the Health Kit’s location. Use the creature’s ability to lower the bridge.
Disconnect and control Shum (the flying creature) and use its ability on the three buds to bloom them individually.
Disconnect and jump over the flowers to reach the Health Kit.

2) Inside the Aleph Prime’s study center

Head to Aleph Prime’s study center.
Take the ladder next to the Teleporter, leading to the lower section of the facility.
Use the shield ability, Hanar, to walk over the red spikes.
You can find the Health Kit over the table at the end.

3) North of New Lan-Lania

Head north of New Lan-Lania to find a path down the mountain.
Ensure you aren’t taking too much damage, as most creatures in this area are infected.
Keep running until the end of the path, where you find the Health Kit.
