HP & Stamina Guide
HP and Stamina are separate stats. Nushi's Scale permanently increases maximum HP, while Fox Shrine rewards increase maximum Stamina. Food restores current HP and/or Stamina. The Hot Spring fully restores current Stamina, but it does not increase its maximum or restore HP.

Four separate values
Current and maximum stats
Recovery fills a current value. Progression items raise a maximum value. They are not interchangeable.

Food can restore it where recorded

Base HP, base Stamina, final caps and the conversion between food points and gauge units are not verified. The page keeps those unknowns null rather than creating a numeric cap.
Permanent upgrades
Nushi's Scale and Fox Fried Tofu
These two rewards improve different maximum stats.
Maximum HP
Nushi's Scale
The Okami Pool progression associates Nushi's Scale with a permanent maximum-HP increase after cursed-item and Midnight Nushi progression.
Exact increase per Scale: not verified
Maximum Stamina
Fox Fried Tofu
The Fox Shrine reward adds one full Stamina gauge. The exact total number of Tofu rewards is not established, and no raw point conversion is assumed.
Per confirmed reward: one full gauge
Recovery
Food can restore current HP and Stamina
Cooking, raw crops and processed foods remain separate sources. Numeric values below come from their shared records.
| Cooking example | Current Stamina | Current HP |
|---|---|---|
| Boiled Egg | 113 | 5 |
| Corn Soup | 208 | 9 |
| Yakisoba | 458 | 20 |
| Salt Rice Ball | 123 | 5 |
| Baked Sweet Potato | 56 | 2 |
| Candied Apple | 360 | 16 |
Raw crops
Some raw crops have explicit Stamina recovery values. Corn restores 32, Napa Cabbage restores 143, and Green Onion restores 57. These values do not imply that every crop is edible or restores HP.

Natto, Yogurt, Tofu and Smoked Egg have explicit shared Stamina records. Smoked Chicken and Turkey Leg remain unresolved in this dataset, so no value is invented.

Yogurt

Hot Spring
Full Stamina recovery at a cost
The Hot Spring is a recovery facility, not a permanent stat upgrade.

In Village in the Shade, defeat the B120F Quarry boss and the Hot Spring appears the next day in the mountain area northwest of the village. See the Hot Spring guide for the unlock route and boss boundary. The Mining guide owns the Quarry progression.
Combat preparation
Max HP helps you survive damage
HP matters for Quarry enemies, the deepest boss, hunting hazards and Midnight anomalies. Stamina does not replace HP protection.
Before B120F
Nushi's Scale upgrades are valuable preparation for the deepest Quarry boss. Carry food that restores both current stats, such as the shared Boiled Egg record.
Damage prevention
The Straw Doll absorbs one damage event and is consumed. It prevents damage; it is not HP recovery or maximum HP.
Review Straw Doll contextClinic boundary
The achievement record confirms a clinic-wakeup milestone at 10 wakeups. Exact money, time, item and stat penalties remain unverified.

What this guide does not guess
The current repository does not establish several edge mechanics or final caps.
Base values
Starting HP, starting Stamina and final maximum caps are not verified.
Sleep and exhaustion
Next-day recovery and zero-Stamina behavior are unresolved.
Overflow
The result of eating above a missing amount is not verified.
Nushi total
Total obtainable Nushi Scales: not verified. Do not infer it from the Rain Whistle milestone.
Raw points and gauges
Food numbers are not converted into Fox Tofu gauge units. Current conversion: not verified.
Other upgrades
No additional permanent HP or Stamina upgrade is claimed without a canonical record.
The shared model uses null for unknown or unspecified recovery and progression values. It does not silently turn unknown into zero.
FAQ
HP and Stamina questions
Keep permanent progression, current recovery and damage prevention separate.
How do I increase maximum HP?
Use Nushi's Scale from the Okami Pool progression. It permanently increases maximum HP, but the exact increase per Scale is not verified.
How do I increase maximum Stamina?
Complete Fox Shrine offering cycles for Fox Fried Tofu. Each confirmed reward adds one full Stamina gauge. Do not convert that gauge into raw points.
Does the Hot Spring increase maximum Stamina?
No. The Hot Spring restores current Stamina to its current maximum, takes one in-game hour, and does not restore HP or raise maximum Stamina.
What is the best healing food?
Do not use a single highest numeric recovery as a universal ranking. Boiled Egg is a practical portable example because it restores both current Stamina and HP.
Do sleeping and exhaustion restore my stats?
The current canonical data does not verify sleep recovery, zero-Stamina behavior, food overflow, or exact clinic penalties, so this guide does not invent those rules.
