    ==Gameplay==
    ===Overview===
    Health Fountains can heal up to two [[Life Bottle]]s worth of energy (600 HP) in ''[[MediEvil (1998)|MediEvil]]'' and ''[[MediEvil 2]]''. In ''[[MediEvil: Resurrection]]'', Health Fountains only restore 99 HP, which is 1 HP shy of a single Health Bottle.


    They can heal up to 2 life bottles worth of energy (600hp in [[MediEvil]] and [[MediEvil 2]], 200hp in [[Resurrection]]).
    In ''MediEvil'' and ''MediEvil: Resurrection'', if [[Sir Dan]] re-enters an area after it was already cleared, the Health Fountain will have replenished and he'll be able to use it again. Dan doesn't take any damage while standing in a fountain.


    If you re-enter a level after you complete it, the Health Fountain will have replenished and you'll be able to use it again (with the exception of MediEvil 2 where used up Health Fountains are not restored).
    In ''MediEvil 2'', if Dan re-enters a previously cleared area, the Health Fountain will not replenish and will remain drained. Dan will also take damage while standing in a fountain.

    Health Fountains, also known as Fountains of Rejuvenation, were springs of life energy found throughout the land whenever a necromancer resurrected the dead.

    Gameplay

    Overview

    Health Fountains can heal up to two Life Bottles worth of energy (600 HP) in MediEvil and MediEvil 2. In MediEvil: Resurrection, Health Fountains only restore 99 HP, which is 1 HP shy of a single Health Bottle.

    In MediEvil and MediEvil: Resurrection, if Sir Dan re-enters an area after it was already cleared, the Health Fountain will have replenished and he'll be able to use it again. Dan doesn't take any damage while standing in a fountain.

    In MediEvil 2, if Dan re-enters a previously cleared area, the Health Fountain will not replenish and will remain drained. Dan will also take damage while standing in a fountain.
