Health

, also known as Hit Points or HP, is a stat in Dark Souls.

General Information
Health is a numerical stat that represents the survivability of the player. It depletes when damage is received and can be restored by healing. When it reaches zero, Death occurs.

Increasing
Health can be increased intrinsically by adding points to the Vitality stat when leveling up.

It can also be raised temporarily by wearing the Tiny Being's Ring, Ring of Favor and Protection or the headpiece, Mask of the Mother.
