A Health Potion is an item that can be purchased by players from the various stores located throughout the game. When used, Health Potions will restore 999 health. They are a must for tough boss fights, long levels, and Insane Mode. As long as there are two or more knights conscious, Health Potions will be used automatically when a character's health is depleted to prevent abuse. If someone dies, they can be given CPR and be brought back to life. The last knight standing, or a knight playing a one player campaign, must manually use potions before his health is depleted.
In Back off Barbarian's multiplayer mode, a version of the Health Potion is used as a mechanic to revive one of your defeated allies. Once a potion spawns, the Sad Meter will progressively fill until either the meter completely fills, resulting in a game over, or the Health Potion is picked up, reviving a teammate.

Notes[]

A Health Potion and some Gold as shown in the Gold And Items section of How to Play.
- At the start of the game, speaking to the Traveling Salesman that is near a green sack and who has a "!" sign over his head will provide you with one free potion, but only if you don't already have one in your inventory. You can take advantage of this by getting one free health potion every time you run out.
- The Painter will spit out Health Potions if the player is playing on Insane Mode. The amount of potions depends on how many players are present at once with the maximum amount of potions being 16.
- The Swamp Village Store is the cheapest place to get Health Potions.
