Confused about Energy in Atelier Yumia? This guide explains how it works, what consumes it, how to restore it, and what really happens when your Energy hits zero. Perfect for new players who want to avoid early-game frustration and get the most out of Yumia’s abilities.
If you're playing Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land and low on energy or its hit zero, you might be worried that you will die or lose you progress. I'm here to break down how Energy works in Atelier Yumia, how you use it, how you lose it and more importantly how to regain it. By the end of this guide, you'll be an Energy expert!
In Atelier Yumia, Energy is a liquefied form of mana. Yumia carries around an Energy Core in which she stores Energy, and you will need Energy to complete tasks such as unlocking landmarks or engaging with certain objects. It's also required for crafting.
Lore wise, Energy can protect from the averse effects of highly concentrated mana. As alchemy has become a forbidden profession, Yumia's ability to handle Energy is incredibly valuable to the Research Team in Aladiss. Perhaps not as valuable as the Season Pass, but valuable nonetheless.
What uses Energy?
In Atelier Yumia if you fall from a high place instead of insta-death like in other games, you will instead lose a % of your Energy. If your Energy reaches zero, then you will die.
Some of the actions that consume Energy are:
- Double jumping
- Crafting Items
- Falling from high places
- Unlocking Landmarks
- Using Breakthrough to open damage chests
- Interacting with certain objects

How to regain Energy in Atelier Yumia
Energy can be obtained in lots of different ways, through battle, items, environment or particular objectives. A few ways you can restore Energy are:
- Winning a battle (restores 5-6% energy for small enemies)
- Activating Energy Generators (100% restore)
- Interacting with Small Shrines (one per Shrine)
- Interacting with special flowers such as Alstahlia flowers
- Unlocking a new Teleporter
- Resting in your Atelier
- Resting at a Campfire
You will also gain 1% energy every 15 seconds, even when stationary as long as you are not in a game menu. The only exception is in the Manabound areas - such as near the Dux Lighthouse - where your ability to regen Energy is disabled.
Will I die if I run out of Energy in Atelier Yumia?
No, you will not die. However, Yumia will have several debuffs applied to her that make it slightly more difficult to move around the map or craft items.
If you are low on energy or it reaches zero:
- You can not craft items in Simple Synthesis
- You can not sprint
- You can not double jump
- Party combat ability is reduced
Yumia will also continue to complain about chest pain, but hey fortunately they picked a soothing voice actress.
Overall Energy is a critical mechanic in Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land, but you should not consider it the same as your health. Walking around on 0% Energy is fine, as long as you don't mind just taking a bit longer to get where you need to go to.
Just remember you can fast travel to your Atelier from anywhere, and you could either use the Generator there or rest to restore your Energy back to 100%. While you're there you could also change your costume.
