Maximum Hit Points, appearing in-game as MAXHP and Max HP, is a statistic featured in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. It represents the maximum number of Hit Points (HP) the player currently has.
Description[]
The Maximum Hit Points statistic represents the maximum number of Hit Points (HP) the player currently has. While not specifically labeled with this name, its current amount can be consulted in the Main Menu above the HP bar, where it is displayed with two numeric values in an X/Y
format, where X
is the current HP the player has, and Y
is the amount of Maximum Hit Points their HP can reach. The MAXHP value can also be seen in the HUD while in the field by having a full HP bar, with a numeric value displaying it above the HP bar.
The Maximum Hit Points stat is increased by a determined amount every time the player levels up. However, the main way of increasing this stat is by picking up the various HP Max Up upgrade items that are found scattered throughout the game, with each one increasing the MAXHP stat by +20, and also automatically filling the HP bar to its maximum on pickup. While some HP Max Ups can be found in the field in plain sight, most of them require special means to reach them (like defeating a boss, hidden inside secret rooms, by taking long alternate routes, etc). There are a total of 31 HP Max Up items to be found in the game, for a potential attainable total of +620 MAXHP.
Additionally, the MAXHP stat can be increased by consuming certain Foods, with each dish permanently raising it a determined amount the first time it is consumed. While in the Inventory screen, where Foods are consumed, the MAXHP amount that will be increased for eating a dish for the first time can be seen on the Bonus subscreen, being the only instance in the game where this stat appears properly labeled.
Finally, this stat can also be temporarily increased by usage of the Augment CON Passive Shard, with each Rank further raising it a determined amount. When Augment CON reaches Rank 9 and becomes a Skill Shard, the player's MAXHP stat will be permanently increased as long as the Shard is enabled.
