Estus Flasks shards are they needed in NG+?

So I just sold all my Sublime Bone Dust and Shards but keep in mind that I have fully upgraded my Estus Flasks. I couldn't burn them or use them it seems so I'm curious if I really made a terrible choice? Either way I figured go for it?

You need them for crafting the NG+ boss weapons....You fucked up...

If you drop them on the ground in front of the lady that upgrades them, she give you a soul of a great hero the next time you talk to her. So if you drop one, then rest at the bonfire, then speak with her. She will give it to you. Using her Talk option from the menu. Since those are 20,000 a pop you should have totally done that. With the 11 you find that is 220,000 souls. Also after the 10th one, she get naked.

I can verify these are both 100% true, and also that Gavlan will join your party if you sell three of them to him.

I think you can put 'em in a bowl like doritos???

If you place them all on the map in the mansion where the bonfires were lit up in NG+ it opens a dungeon under the cat house that is full of strippers and a Rise Kujikawa model.

No, they fixed that in the latest patch, it's NG++ now, unless you are wearing the Boots of Kick.

I love all these snarky comments. It's threads like these that have made waiting for the PC version so much fun.

@neonie: That's how you went with that story line? I dropped them in from of the Rat King and he presented me with the Severed Head of Nanako Dojima

That made me sad.

Her head is actually a weapon. Regular attacks make her say, "Big Bro!'', strong attacks make her say, "It's a Platypus!"; if you pull off a successful riposte she'll sing the Junes theme song and back stabs will have her mutter, "Mom?"

Too much?

You guys are really wasting your NG+ Estus Flask Shards. You ought to be taking them to Agdayne after he moves to the Dragon Shrine so he can level up your Pyromancies. My Flame Swathe +3 has one-hit all the bosses I've faced with it.

So...not a single serious answer, huh.

the amount of silly answers means that they're as useful as shit after fully upgrading the strength and number of your estus flasks

@dprotp: Well yeah, I figured as much. I just think it's nicer to outright tell someone the answer rather than prolong things with a series of joke posts. Oh well.

@aegon: ...jokes?

@aegon: Well, he did already sell them.

Persona 4 jokes, nonsense answers, and Doritos? I should have expected as much lol. Although thank you Aegon and dprotp.

You give them to the Dark Emerald Herald in the Dark World version of Majula to continue upgrading your flasks.

Try behind

Actually, you drop an Estus Flask Shard directly on top of an active Prism Stone. You can use the resulting Chromatic Estus Flask Shard with the Emerald Herald to turn your Estus Flask the color of the dropped Prism Stone.

what you didn't know is that the estus flask shard can be used as bolts from the crossbows, allowing you to shoot at white and gold phantoms to heal them.

Glad someone finally answered your query.

Treasure ahead

I find it funny how everyone makes jokes about the shards in NG+ while they actually do have another purpose that can only be used in NG+. Apparently, nobody knows about it. Ironic.
