When I lost vitality due to fighting the vampire in his cave, I thought using the elixirs restored your viality stats. But they don't. Nothing does - I have tried all types of potions, right up to super Restoration and Super Elixir.

What the elixir potions are doing is increasing my resistance stats.

How do I get my vitality back? I hadn't noticed the vitality drain until just now, anmd thought I remembered that it was just anelixir potion I needed. Now I find that is not the case. I have played for several hours and completed many, many quests and don't want to backtrack. Added to the fact that the key to Nericon's Garden has vanished, this is a game killer for me. And I would have thought that since the Nericon's key and other vanishing items were common, that a patch would have been created to deal with issues like these by now!
