Tools are usable items, and an indispensable part of your arsenal. The majority of basic consumable items in the game can be purchased from vendors in Firelink Shrine (typically the Shrine Handmaid, occasionally Greirat after he has unlocked some additional items). There are a few special purpose reusable items with various unique effects as well. All of these items are extremely useful for your survival, giving you the ability to protect and recover from the untender ministrations of Lothric’s unwholesome denizens. Tools are accessible as the bottom part of your toolbelt, and you can store ten items on there, and another five on your main inventory status window for less commonly used items. Be careful about jamming your toolbelt too full of items you rarely use, it’s usually a good idea to keep your Estus Flasks and a few consumables that are useful for the specific area you’re exploring equipped. Otherwise you can find yourself fumbling for your flask in combat at a bad time!
Critical Items
These vital items are crucial for your survival. The Estus and Ashen Estus Flasks allow you to restore your HP and FP, while Embers restore you to full health should you perish, restoring your lost HP.
Estus Shards and Undead Bone Shards are rare items that upgrade your Estus Flasks, giving you more uses, and more powerful uses respectively. Keep an eye out for these on the maps throughout the walkthrough. If you can sneak ahead to pick these up even if you aren’t prepared for another area fully yet, do so!

Fill with Estus at bonfire. Restores HP.
The Undead treasure these dull green flasks.Fill with Estus at bonfires, and drink to restore HP.The journey of an Undead has always traced the bonfires, and no journey of import has been made without an Estus Flask.

Undead bones that yet burn.Cast it into the shrine bonfire to boost the recovery provided by the Estus Flask.The bonfire’s cinders are the bones of Undead, and a bone that still burns is a fresh cinder indeed. Before feeding upon death, one must first pray to it.
Typical Consumables
Basic consumable items, these are mostly focused on curing and protecting against enemy status effects, but there are also very useful buffing items to temporarily enhance your performance offensively or defensively. The throwing weapons here are very useful early in the game, and because they scale with your stats, they do improve slightly as your character’s strength grows. For the elemental weapon buffing items, keep in mind that a weapon that already has an element on it (such as a Fire Longsword) cannot have another element applied. This is one benefit to using weapon infusions with no element, as you can apply temporary buffs to grant them more total damage output than a pure elemental weapon.

Boss Souls
Powerful souls, typically found by defeating the powerful bosses in the game. After defeating the Cursed Greatwood in the Undead Settlement, you find the Transposition Kiln. Given to Ludleth in the Firelink Shrine, this allows him to create Soul-transposed weapons and equipment from these great souls. Each great soul can be transposed into two different items, usually weapons, but sometimes spells or rings. You can also use these souls to gain Souls, but doing so is usually a waste unless you are far into multiple playthroughs and no longer need the weapons or spells! One special note here, the Twin Princes souls provide two different swords that can be combined by Ludleth... which means the only way to do this is complete the game twice to acquire both blades!
