Bonfires
Bonfires are the central mechanic of Hy-Souls. They serve as rest points, respawn locations, and crafting stations.
Crafting a Bonfire
Build a Bonfire at a Workbench with:
| Material | Amount |
|---|---|
| Wood Trunk | 4 |
| Iron Sword | 1 |
| Soul Essence | 20 |
Place the Bonfire block in the world – it emits fire particles and light.
Resting at a Bonfire
Right-click a placed Bonfire to rest. Resting automatically:
- Recharges your Estus Flask to full capacity
- Restores your health and stamina
- Sets the bonfire as your respawn point – you’ll return here when you die
- Opens the Bonfire Menu
Bonfire Menu
When you rest at a bonfire, a menu opens with these options:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Level Up | Coming soon |
| Reverse Hollowing | Restores your human form if you’re hollow (costs Humanity) |
| Kindle | Increases Estus capacity at this bonfire (costs Humanity) |
| Craft | Opens the crafting interface with your souls as virtual currency |
| Leave | Closes the menu |
You can also open the bonfire menu directly with the /bmenu command.
Crafting at a Bonfire
The bonfire crafting menu has three tabs:

Bonfire Tiers
Upgrade your bonfire to unlock higher-tier crafting recipes:
| Upgrade | Soul Cost | Craft Time | Unlocks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 to Tier 2 | 1,500 | 8s | Silver, Thorium, Cobalt bars |
| Tier 2 to Tier 3 | 5,000 | 15s | Gold, Adamantite, Mithril bars |
Kindling
Kindling increases how many Estus charges you receive when resting at that specific bonfire. Each kindle level costs 1 Humanity and you must be in human form (not hollow).
| Kindle Level | Estus Charges |
|---|---|
| 0 (default) | 5 |
| 1 | 10 |
| 2 | 15 |
| 3 (max) | 20 |
Kindling is tracked per player, per bonfire – kindling one bonfire doesn’t affect others. After kindling, your Estus is immediately recharged to the new capacity.
