Meta-Essence serves as Alice Liddell's primary source of regenerating both health and willpower. It can be found in some areas of each section, or dropped by enemies when killed. Meta-Essence released by slain enemies evaporates or degrades in a short amount of time. As it degrades, it transforms into smaller shapes until it finally disappears.

Trivia[]
Like the Roses in Alice: Madness Returns, Meta-Essence dropped by enemies is temporary, so it is recommended to pick it up immediately if Alice is low on health or willpower.
