I’ve been playing dark souls for the first time, and I didn’t understand that I was supposed to bring fire keepers souls to the NPC to actually get the flask upgrades.
From a bit of reading online, it sounds like there’s no way to correct this in the game itself and I’m just kinda screwed.
I’m too far in to restart, and I’m wondering if anyone knows a mod or some other method to undo my mistake? Either to give myself the souls I consumed or to upgrade the flask without them?
How many have you used? I believe you can upgrade the flask a max of 6 times in one run, but it’s very unlikely someone in a blind playthrough would find more than 3 or maybe 4 of them. If you’ve used 3 or fewer, you can look up how to get the remaining ones and just be content with the fact that you’re on a normal pace. Reminder that one fire keeper must be alive to upgrade your flask so don’t go too wild. Also losing any fire keeper kills their bonfire permanently, so be prepared for that.
Ultimately, losing the flask upgrades is a bummer, but it is not as devastating as I’m sure it feels right now. You can still do this.
(I don’t know of a way to restore them or upgrade the flask without them but I got this helps anyway)
That’s good to know. I used 2 of them, so maybe I’m not totally cooked?
I think you’re okay. It was an unfortunate mistake, and you’ll suffer a little because of it, but suffering is part of a true Souls experience after all.
