In Salt and Sacrifice a Hearthen Flask is a consumable item which can be used to gain temporary buffs and benefits or replenish lost stats. 5x Hearthen Flasks are given to you at Pardoner's Vale by Herbalist Shanna, after the Prologue. This How to Upgrade your Hearthen Flask guide will tell you how you can increase the number of charges in your healing flask.
In Salt and Sacrifice you will be able to upgrade your Hearthen Flask at the Enchance Equipment table located on the west part of Pardoner's Vale. In order to do so will require Shimmering Bud and Tender Vine. There are a total of eight Shimmering Buds in Salt and Sacrifice and the more of them you collect, the more often you will be able to heal. It is important that you upgrade your Hearthen Flask because initially it will be quite weak but with some upgrades it can be useful and will give you a fighting chance during some tough encounters. Most of the Shimmering Buds are easy to find, take a look at the video below to find out exactly where you can find each of them.
