When a character’s HP hits zero, they are deemed dead, and this status carries over once combat has ended.

Fallen allies cannot participate in battles or gain EXP until revived. This can hinder your progress and leave your team exposed.

Reviving your party members swiftly and getting them back on their feet helps maintain your momentum.

Visiting a church in towns and villages is the most reliable way to bring fallen allies back to life.

Look for the trident-like symbol on the map to find these establishments.

For towns without a permanent church, find a wandering priest or priestess who can perform the necessary rites and ceremonies.

To revive a party member, speak with the cleric and select the resurrection option. While this method promises success, it does so at a cost.

The fallen character’s level and vocation determine the fee, meaning higher-level characters will be more expensive to resurrect.

You can also use churches as save points, making them an excellent place to manage your respawn location.

Keep a stock of Chimera Wings in your inventory to quickly fast travel to a town and revive yourself in a pinch.

For those who prefer flying solo, vocations like Priests and Sages can master spells that bring fallen allies back to life without needing a church.

You'll gain access to these spells as your characters progress in level. The earlier spell, Zing (or Zin), gives a chance to revive an ally with 1 HP.

But it doesn’t always pan out, especially in battles where every turn counts.

Later, you'll unlock Kazing, a more advanced revival spell that ensures your fallen ally is brought back with either half or full health.

Although Kazing consumes more MP, it’s a far more trustworthy option for reviving allies in the heat of combat.

Outside of battle, you can repeatedly cast Zing until it works.

You can then rest at an inn to regain your MP, which can save gold compared to paying church fees.

Another way to do this is to use Yggdrasil Leaves, powerful items that instantly revive a fallen ally with full HP and MP.

These items hold significant value in critical moments because they are hard to find and not sold in stores.

You can usually find Yggdrasil Leaves in treasure chests or dropped by specific enemies, so using them sparingly is recommended.

Since they provide an immediate and guaranteed revival, they are particularly useful in long, drawn-out battles where other options might fail or be unavailable.

If the entire party is wiped out, the game ends, and you’ll have to load from your last save point.

However, the Dracky Quest difficulty mode prevents your characters from dying by keeping their HP at 1, so you won't need to worry about revivals.

So, you may consider playing on Dracky Quest mode if you prefer a less punishing experience.

Plan ahead and manage your resources efficiently to get the best out of these revival options.
