Elden Ring Nightreign has a lot of mechanics from the base game, such as your flask, which is used to heal your HP. When you first drop into an expedition, you'll only have three flask charges available. Each day is a race to get as strong as possible before facing a Nightboss, and figuring out healing should be at the top of the list.

While there are a few different ways to restore your HP, especially depending on your character, everyone will want to get more flask shards. Here's how to get more flask shards and upgrade your Flask of Crimson Tears.

How To Get More Flask Shards In Elden Ring Nightreign

There are two ways to get more flask shards, with the first and main method being to find them in churches throughout Limveld. Every expedition has two to four churches that spawn between a few different locations throughout the map, though it cycles from round to round. When inside a church, approach the pedestal at the foot of the statue of Marika and interact with it to get one shard for your flask.

Each player will need to interact with the pedestal to get a shard for their flask.

Churches appear on the map with a gold building icon, which will also dim after you get the flask. Inside churches are also a few boxes which can be broken to get additional consumables, along with never having enemies inside, making them safe places once you get there.

You can try to reach the three churches anytime during the first two days of an expedition, though it's recommended you go quickly to them all right away, as the rain may make it harder to reach certain churches later on. The other method for getting a single flask shard is surviving the second night. After beating the second night boss, you'll get what is the final flask shard before facing the Nightlord.

How Many Crimson Tear Shards Are There In Elden Ring Nightreign

The max number of shards you can get for your flask is four, bringing the total number of charges your flask can hold up to seven, with one more depending on your World Event. Getting seven charges on your flask during an expedition also gets you the Replenished Sacred Flask achievement. There are multiple consumables you can purchase that also restore your health, such as warming rocks, and these heal your entire party or even just yourself, and it's best not to rely only on your Flask for healing, especially when playing alone.
