Cure Potion
"Probably the coolest thing in the game when you are running out of health. These purple little canister/urn like containers, will restore your health to 100% at any time in the game, and also no matter if you are at 99% or 1% health it will always restore you to 100%"
--Description, Catacomb Crypt
Healing Potions, also known as Cure Potions, are a critical item in Catacomb 3D and the Catacomb Adventure Series. Unlike other FPS games, where healing is used the second you pick it up, in the Catacomb games, you hold onto Potions until you need them, when you use them with the H key (in Catacomb 3D), or C key (in the Catacomb Adventure Series). When used, the potion heals you to full health.
In Catacomb 3D, Healing Potions are fairly abundant and appear throughout the game. They have a distinctive blue bottle that's easy to see from a distance.
In the Adventure Series, Cure Potions are even more abundant, and can be found in Treasure Chests at times. However, are more fragile than before, and can be destroyed if shot. They also have a brief pause before they heal to full, so the player has to be careful in their use. Individual Potions resemble decanters full of purple fluid in Catacomb Abyss, and red liquid in Catacomb Armageddon and Catacomb Apocalypse.
A similar item is present in the homage Catacombs of the Damned, called a Potion of Healing.
