Even though Indiana Jones and the Great Circle takes place in Indy's prime, he's still no soldier. You will be relying on stealth for the majority of the game in order to make it through since just a few bad blows, or one or two bullets, can knock your fedora off for good. You will find bandages to recover your lost HP after a fight, but you can only use them if you're lucky enough to survive that encounter. There are ways to give Indy a bit more life, but it will take a bit of work. Here are two ways you can increase your HP in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

How to temporarily increase your HP

The first way to buff your HP is only a temporary method, but much easier to do. As you are sneaking and scavenging around, pay attention to any food items you can find, such as bread and crackers. These will give you a temporary extra bar of life. However, some foods like fruit will buff your stamina instead, so pay attention to your diet.

How to permanently increase your HP

The only way to get a permanent HP boost in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is to find the Medicine Bottle collectibles and use them to upgrade your health by trading them for the Shaping Up Adventure Books. There are three of these books, each one costing 5, 10, and 15 Medicine Bottles for a maximum of three extra HP bars.

If you need help finding all these Medicine Bottle locations to buy these books, we have a full guide you can check right here.

Professor Jones in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a scholar more than an action hero. Sure, he will pull off plenty of death-defying stunts while solving puzzles, hunting down collectibles, and fighting Nazis across his globe-trotting adventures, but combat will never do a thing to add to or improve your abilities. Instead, Adventure Books are the keys to unlocking new and better skills. Sadly, Indy never makes a pitstop to a library on his quest, so we have to find these valuable tomes ourselves. Let's study up on all the Adventure Books in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and how they work.
How Adventure Books work
Indiana is smart, but apparently not so smart that just finding an Adventure Book is enough to learn all its secrets. Collecting the book is just the first step, but unlocking its ability requires you to go into the Books tab of the menu, highlight it, and spend your Adventure Points to unlock whatever skill it can grant you. Once you have unlocked it, that skill will be permanently active from that point forward.
All Adventure Books and what they do
There are dozens of Adventure Books in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, but many of them are upgraded versions of the same one that simply boost their power. Here is a full list of all the Adventure Books, what skill the provide, how many Adventure Points (AP) it costs to unlock, and what level you can find them in.
