In Silent Hill F, Shriveled Abura-age serves as desiccated tofu typically deemed inedible, yet revered as a preferred offering for Oinari-sama. Unlike consumable items, it functions exclusively as a shrine tribute, delivering a substantial 500 Faith points per use. Acquiring these accelerates progression significantly, making each discovery pivotal for advancing character enhancements.

Strategic Utilization of Abura-age
Strategic deployment of this resource is crucial. Prioritize expanding Omamori capacity rather than temporary stat boosts for lasting gameplay advantages. Transitioning from single to triple Omamori slots demands significant Faith investment – conserved Shriveled Abura-age allocations expedite this process dramatically. New Game+ iterations permit additional collections, aiding subsequent playthroughs.
