In any survival RPG, you need to keep yourself healthy, and it’s the same inThe Lord Of The Rings: Return To Moria. You aren’t going to get back to the other Dwarves by sitting in a camp, so you’ll need to venture out, but there are plenty of goblins, orcs, and monsters ready to verify you don’t.
If you get hurt, you’ve got to heal yourself. Healing at a Hearth is nice and the first way to do it, but it’s not going to help you in the middle of a fight a hundred fathoms away from where your base is.
How To Heal At A Hearth
Before you get the Oven, you’ll domost of your healingvia whatevertype ofHearth you havein your base, with each type offering awider selection of foodsto cook as youupgrade them.
These dishesrestore different amounts of healthand food, and some, like Mushroom Stew, can evenprovide bonus effects if eaten at a particular timeof day, such as extrahealing over timeor temporarily reduced stamina usage.
All recipes requireat least a Camp Meal table to be builtnear the Hearth to cook them.
Most food items alsoheal around the same amount; the onlydifference is the ingredientsneeded, and whattype of mealit is:
Egg x2
Mushrooms x1
Mushrooms x3
Mushrooms x2
Sunion x1
Parsnips x2
Meat x3

Cabbage x2
Cave Honey x1
Roasting Pit
At the Hearth, you canchoose a dish to cookonce it’s fueled by Coal, and depending on thesize of the meal tablenearby, you canhave up to eight mealsready, with aCamp Meal Table holding fourdishes and theregular Meal Tableholdingthe full eight.
Meals willspoil if they’releft on the table for over a daywithout being eaten, and you’ll have to clear the table off before you’re able to cook or eat any more meals off the table.
How To Cook Healing Food Items
Thenext way to healcomes from the Oven, a cooking station that’sseparate from the Hearthand other related crafters like the Roasting Pit, and you’llgain accessto it once youstart finding Copper Orein the Mines of Moria.
Stone x20

Wood Scraps x25

With the Oven, you’ll now beable to craft healing itemsyou canbring with youfor healing on the go, likeDried Fruit and Biltong.
Initially, you’ll have alimited number of recipes, but like the Hearth, you’llunlock moreas you dig deeper andfind new ingredients.
Look forwhite and blue urnsin abandoned buildings while exploring – these have ahigh chance of dropping healing items, and you can start seeing them as early as the buildings near the Old Camp.
