Small Health (Rejuvenative Vial in Serious Sam: Double D) is a reccurring healing item that appears in the Serious Sam series.

Overview[]

Small health is a fairly weak health item. It is useful for recovering some health that they player might've lost from after fighting weak enemies. It loses its effectiveness and reliability on higher difficulties, or if the player encounters a number of tough opponents. Unlike Extra Small Health, it does not go past the 100 health limit. The only exception to this occuring is in Serious Sam 4 and Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem (see below for more information).

Appearances[]

Small health is a common recurring pickup throughout the series, occurring more frequently than other health items, but less so than Extra Small Health.

This item is often placed in "break" rooms or after a fight to give the player enough health to last long enough before they progress further. Sometimes, small health is used as a booby trap. Generally, a small health floating in the middle of nowhere, away from other items, is usually a trap, and in Serious Sam 2, small health is often found in crates. In Serious Sam: Double D, Serious Sam 3: BFE, Serious Sam: Double D: XXL, Serious Sam 3 VR: BFE, Serious Sam 4 and Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem, it is often found between hordes of weak enemies or small amounts of enemies.

In Serious Sam 4 and Siberian Mayhem, small health has a slim chance to drop if the player has unlocked the "Looter Shooter" S.A.M skill. Unlike small health that is spawned upon loading a level, small health dropped by enemies with this skill active can go past the normal 100 health limit.
