Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora throws players into a gorgeously rendered but dangerous open world. As players engage in combat with RDA troops and fast travel across the map, two key meters will drain: energy & health. This guide will cover efficient methods to restore energy through food consumption as well as restore health using medicinal plants found throughout Pandora.
How to Restore Energy in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora
From sprinting across the wilderness to interfacing with your Banshee mount, almost every major activity in Avatar drains your energy meter. Allow it to empty completely, and gameplay becomes nearly impossible—your health stops auto-regenerating, disables fast travel, reduces carrying capacity, and more. Thankfully, eating food replenishes it rapidly.
- Raw ingredients like Bulbolf Fruit provide minor energy boosts and can be consumed immediately.
- However, to recharge substantial reserves, cook food at campfires. Meals like Smoked Yoten Wings generate more energy and offer additional buffs like extra health, expanded carrying capacity, or various resistances for a limited duration.
- These effects, along with energy restoration, stack based on the dish's ingredients, so get creative!
If available food sources still don’t adequately recharge your pools fast enough, invest skill points into your Survivor tree. Upgrades like Vigor and Robust grant automatic energy regeneration buffs to turn you into a true warrior suited for this demanding world.

Restoring Health with Pandora’s Medicinal Plants
While your energy meter impacts gameplay dynamics, your health bar determines life or death. Deplete it fully via damage from encounters, falls from great heights, or environmental hazards, and it's game over.
While health automatically regenerates when energy is full, two resources provide bursts of instant healing:
- The first are Dapophet plants found growing throughout Pandora. Interacting with them generates Dapophet pods, which store in your stash to be consumed when needed. Opening the quick heal menu and using these pods instantly restores substantial health. Initially, you can only hold two pods, but upgrades allow carrying more as a reserve for challenging battles.
- If pods are unavailable, craft earthy red medical kits for similar instant heal properties using merit points.
- Both options are invaluable when pinned down under heavy enemy fire or facing powerful foes in close-quarters combat where health drops rapidly. Using them at the right moments can mean the difference between triumph and defeat.

Additional Tips for Survival
While mastering food and medicine covers the basics, two additional tips are worth remembering:
- Fast travel rapidly drains energy reserves. If meters are low, physically travel to nearby objectives instead.
- Seek out Bellsprig flowers during exploration. Interacting with these scarce plants permanently increases maximum health, bolstering your overall survivability.
With these fundamentals, you’ll stay fighting fit for the adventures and battles that await across Pandora’s sweeping alien vistas and hostile RDA strongholds. Stay alert to keep energy and health high using the tips outlined above, and you’ll truly thrive as an elite Na’vi warrior.
