Shriveled Abura-age in Silent Hill F is basically dried-out fried tofu that no one would ever eat, but in the game, it’s treated as Oinari-sama’s favourite offering. That means it’s not something you heal with; it’s something you give at a Hokora shrine. The cool part is that it gives you 500 Faith points at once, which is more than anything else you can offer. So, every time you find one, you are taking a huge step forward for your upgrades.

Once you have got it, don’t just throw it away at the first shrine you see. Each one gives 500 Faith, which is massive. You need Faith to do a few things: adding extra Omamori slots, boosting your stats, or drawing new Omamori for random perks. If you want advice, use your Shriveled Abura-age mainly for the Omamori slots.

Going from one slot to three is expensive, and these offerings will get you there much faster. Having multiple Omamori equipped can completely change how safe and strong you feel compared to just bumping a single stat.

The smart move is to save them for moments when you really need a big Faith boost. Later upgrades are significantly more expensive, so it pays to be patient. If you are planning to replay the game, you will get even more chances to collect them, which makes things a bit easier in New Game+ runs.
