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!
