Really confused about meditation, and healing.

[Mol]

I thought that if you did it you would be healed, but it doesnt. How does it even work

Also, is there any better ways to heal than just eating bread?

You don't get healed on the harder difficulties if you meditate. You have to eat/use alchemy to survive on those difficulties.

[kralmir]

on higher difficulties the only way to heal is with food and potions. meditating heals only on easy/normal i believe.

I am playing on the second easiest difficulty, as I have just started.

You must not be on the difficulty level you think you are then.

[vonbleak]

Then you should be healing when you meditate - i am also playing on normal and it works just fine...remember that you need to meditate for at least an hour for it to heal, any less wont do it...

You must meditate at least 1 or 2 hours, don't remember the exact count, to be healed.

You must meditate for longer than one hour to get healed (and replenish your potions).

I'm playing on death march and one hour of meditation will restock potions and bombs.

Also there is one other method of getting healed on higher difficulty settings. The skill that speeds up your healing during daytime works if slotted. It is very slow, but quite useful if you're not fighting and want to conserve food/potions.

I play on death march, and never ever was short on healing. You can spam potions if you want, you find just too much alcohol to refill them. Also, food is not even rare...

[Liberator48]

I noticed almost right away that getting the Sun and Stars (or whatever it's called) skill is pretty much an essentiality unless you want to spend literal hours between fights to regenerate health, with that skill it'll be only like 5-10 minutes to regenerate full health.

Also, Swallow potion ofcourse, that and Alcohest so you can make more potions when you meditate.

Idk, I relaunched the game and now it works

[Vazc0]

you can heal yourself with alternate quen too.
