Rite of Kindling

Rite of Kindling is a special utility item in Dark Souls.

In-Game Description
''This secret rite allows bonfires to be bolstered further with kindling, so that even more estus can be collected. Kindling was a sacred rite passed down among clerics, but all Undead can imitate the same process in the same manner that they restore their Hollowing with humanity. How peculiar that humans had found little use for humanity until they turned Undead.''

Effect
With the Rite of Kindling, all bonfires may now be kindled up to three times for a total of 20 estus flasks. Additional kindling requires additional humanity.

Availability
Defeat Pinwheel, boss of the Catacombs, to obtain the Rite of Kindling.

Plot
Rhea of Thorolund and her followers were seeking the Rite of Kindling, which was also the reason why they went down into the Catacombs.
