Lost

Meditate

Whenever you find yourself below full health you can replenish it by 'Meditation'. This is done by entering the right-most option on the 'Pause' menu and selecting which time of day to sleep until so that when you wake up your health will be fully recovered.

Difficulty Setting

If you find yourself struggling you can always enter the 'Settings' menu and lower the difficulty setting.


Items

Easy Crowns - Cows

Jump over the fence just before you cross the Woesong Bridge to leave the town of Midscopse so you enter a grass pasture with some cows grazng. Use fire magic instead of your sword to Kill the cows so you do not waste time having to chase them and then meditate for over 2 hours where you killed them. You can avoid waiting by pausing gameplay, selecting 'Meditation' and advancing the time by 2 hours. Doing this will make the cows respawn allowing you to kill the them again and repeat the process so you accumulate plenty of cow hides and meat for healing which you can then take to the merchant who is near the road next to the cow pasture. If you speak to the merchant and then select the 'Other' tab from his shop's inventory you will be able to access the 'Cow Hide' option and be able to se..
