Speaking of health, There is a charm in the game in which you can heal 2x as fast. This requires defeating the gruz mother in order to do it. Once you have Defeated gruz mother, go under the arena and die because your shade can float and as well you can pogo on it.

After you have done that, lead your shade to the building on the right where salubra is and pogo off your shade and make sure you have at least 800 or more geo in order to get quick focus. Now, of course this tip is for early game but you can try it if u want.

Otherwise, you have to use shade skip again and no one likes to die a lot.

And another thing, you need to kill your shade when you got on the platform for buying charms for salubra.
