If you aren’t at full health but don’t want to waste a PSI Pop, smashing destructible objects also has a chance to drop green healing orbs as well as Psitanium. You might never use them but they’re always good to have.

Once you’ve got at least the Psifold Wallet upgrade and a decent amount of Psitanium, then healing items will be useful to stock up on. Since Raz starts out with a maximum Psitanium capacity of 100, that’s enough to buy four PSI Pops, which restore a chunk of Raz’s Mental Energy, or one Dream Fluff, which fully restores Raz’s Mental Energy when it becomes empty.

A tip for when you’re getting started with the game is to not spend all your Psitanium on health items to help you in combat. The combat in Psychonauts 2 is great and full of variety, but it’s also generally quite forgiving.
