andand dies to protect it further.
Usage
Estus Flasks can be consumed by placing them either in the player's quick access (highly recommended) or navigating to the flask in the inventory. They have a limited number of uses, indicated by an overlaid number, and can be replenished by resting at a bonfire. The number of Flasks returned when resting at a bonfire depends on its level of kindling, starting at 5 flasks, then increasing to 10 when the bonfire has been kindled and 15/20 once the player has acquired the Rite of Kindling and can kindle the bonfire further. It costs the player 1 humanity point to kindle a bonfire.
Additionally, drinking an Estus Flask will heal summoned players in co-op, but not NPC co-operators.
Acquisition
Granted to the player at the start of the game as an item found on the corpse of Oscar of Astora. If not picked up in NG+, can be found in the chest behind Frampt in Firelink.
Upgrades
Can be upgraded with a Fire Keeper Soul up to +7 in order to restore more HP per sip. A Fire Keeper Soul must be given to one of the three Fire Keepers, Anastacia, The Fair Lady, or the Darkmoon Knightess.
