Hunger

"Come now. There are far better ways to die." - Lapsi Hunger determines how close the player is to starvation. It is represented as a yellow bar with a stomach in the HUD.

By default the player begins the game with 75 Hunger, out of a maximum of 100.
 * Lapsi will warn the player when Hunger reaches 20, urging them to seek food.
 * When Hunger is below 10, stomach growls will be heard.
 * When Hunger reaches 0, the character begins to starve, taking damage at a rate of 5 Vitality every second.

Hunger decreases over time at a rate of 1 Hunger every 24 seconds. This means that it will take 2 entire day-and-storm cycles for a full Hunger bar to reach 0, assuming it is never replenished.

Replenishing Hunger
The player can eat food to fill their Hunger bar. To eat, the player must equip a food item in their equipment bar and then press the use button (by default the Left Mouse Button). Alternatively, the player can right-click the food item's icon in their inventory to consume it automatically. Below is a list of Hunger replenishing items.

Hunger Modifiers
A few passive effects can change the rate at which Hunger depletes, most notably seen in equipped Armor.
 * The Mask of the Devourer increases the rate of Hunger depletion by 50% if Corruption isn't low.
 * The Veil of the Ascetic links Hunger to Corruption, meaning that when one changes, the other follows. When this helmet piece is equipped, the following happens:
 * Hunger starts increasing at a fast rate when the Death Gale arrives, since Corruption increases.
 * Corruption decreases over time during the day as Hunger depletes.
 * Consuming Light Corpus or Light Anima depletes Hunger as well as lowering Corruption.
 * Consuming Dark Corpus or Dark Anima replenishes Hunger as well as increasing Corruption.
 * Players can use these effects to their advantage by equipping the helmet when inside the Death Gale to quickly fill up their Hunger bar and then remove it when they consume Light Corpus or Light Anima.
