What are Flasks?

Consumable items

Sacred Flasks are consumable items that replenish HP or MP when used, depending on the type of the flask. You can bring these flasks while exploring or use in combat to keep your character healthy or cast more spells. Like the Estus Flasks from Dark Souls, Sacred Flasks are also refillable.

Three types of Sacred Flasks

Sacred Flask	Effect
Flask of Crimson Tears	Restores HP
Flask of Cerulean Tears	Restores FP
Flask of Wondrous Physick	Effects can be customized

The Flask of Crimson Tears replenishes HP while the Flask of Cerulean Tears replenishes FP. You can differentiate the two by looking at their glow—the HP flask glows red while the FP flask glows blue, the same color as the bar they replenish.

The Flask of Wondrous Physick is another type of flask that serves a different purpose from the other two. You can mix Crystal Tears in this flask to customize its effects, like providing buffs.

Set charge limit at Sites of Grace

At Sites of Grace, you can allocate charges to the flasks to increase or decrease how many times you can use each type.

Flasks are reusable

Drinking from a Sacred Flask will consume one charge of that type. You can refill your flasks at any Site of Grace or by defeating Teardrop Scarabs.

Refill at Sites of Grace

To refill your Sacred Flasks, go to any Site of Grace and rest. This will not only refill your flasks but also replenish both your HP and MP and remove any status ailment.

Automatically refills by defeating enemies

Sacred Flasks can also automatically refill charges by defeating multiple enemies or a powerful enemy. Roam around the map and take out weaker enemies if you're already far off from the last Site of Grace!

Defeat Teardrop Scarabs

You can also look for Teardrop Scarabs while exploring and defeat them to replenish your flasks. Teardrop Scarabs will only refill flasks that match their type upon defeaet and you cannot refill flasks more than their charge limit.
