In Tower of Doom, food -- and the lack thereof -- are probably the single biggest issue in survival. The player's Life Force is constantly draining with every heartbeat, and can be further depleted by Life Eater traps.

The player's Life Force is constantly draining with every heartbeat, and can be further depleted by Life Eater traps. When Life Force reaches zero, the player's heartbeat will change to a sharp thud, and the player will lose one unit of HP with every beat, killing the character within seconds, or a few minutes at most. Thus, without spare food, even an extremely powerful character can quickly end up in mortal peril. (The Grail and Rosary can also restore Life Force, but both items are rare.) | ||
That said, there's no advantage to eating any sooner than is absolutely necessary, and one should usually ignore both of the game's warning messages ("LIFE FORCE IS LOW" and "LIFE FORCE IS CRITICAL"). Instead, the player should generally wait to eat until the heartbeat changes (approximately 16 beats after the "LIFE FORCE IS CRITICAL" message) and the player's HP begins to drain. In randomly generated dungeons, one will frequently go several levels without encountering any food, so | That said, there's no advantage to eating any sooner than is absolutely necessary, and one should usually ignore both of the game's warning messages ("LIFE FORCE IS LOW" and "LIFE FORCE IS CRITICAL").
