Cast them into the Far Fire in Majula to increase the HP restored with each use of your flask. 

Sublime Bone Dust is a type of Consumable in Dark Souls 2 (DKS2)Sublime Bone Dust, bones charred to a crisp. Toss them into the Far Fire in Majula to amplify the HP restored with each flask use. Consumable Items grant various effects such as restorative properties for recovering HP, removing certain negative status effects, applying temporary buffs and debuffs, as well as activating various actions and effects.

 

Charred, ashen bones.
Cast them into the Far Fire in Majula to increase the HP restored with each use of your flask.
They say these are the remains of a saint who cast himself into the bonfire. But we will never know for sure, for soot and ashes tell no story.

Sublime Bone Dust Usage in DKS2

  • If you burn at the Majula bonfire you gain more health from your Estus flasks. (Estus Flask +x amount)
  • Your Estus Flask can be boosted to a max of +5 (cannot buff after +5). Further, Sublime Bone Dusts are useless, attempting to burn results in the message "Cannot burn further items".

 

Dark Souls 2 Sublime Bone Dust Location

DARK SOULS II - ORIGINAL

  • Guaranteed drop from the non-respawning mace-wielding Old Knight at Heide's Tower of Flame. It is missable, so if you die before picking it up, you will have to defeat the Dragonrider and use a Bonfire Ascetic. A second one can also be gained if you DID find it and use a Bonfire Ascetic to respawn the knight. However, you will have to defeat the Dragonrider each time, which can be difficult at low levels. (If the Old Knight is killed by gravity he will not drop a Sublime Bone Dust.)
  • Huntsman's Copse, on a ledge right before the Executioner's Chariot boss.
  • Black Gulch in a chest found after killing The Rotten.
  • Iron Keep, in a chest found after killing Old Iron King.
  • Sinners' Rise, after taking the elevator down from the bonfire the dust is located in the first alcove on the left in the water area behind a single enhanced undead.

SCHOLAR OF THE FIRST SIN EDITION

  • In the passage to No Man's Wharf, in an alcove at the left, there is an Iron Chest that is guarded by a Royal Guard.
  • The Gutter: Inside an Iron Chest where the Great Heal Miracle was before. Before the first Gutter Bonfire, when you get to the Bridge with a hole over a water-filled round-room with exploding mummies - don´t go down the ladder to the right but kill the Warrior to the left and there is the Chest.
  • Huntsman's Copse: From the bridge that you have to lower, go right and drop in the hole of a roof and you will find it in a chest.
  • Shaded Woods: From the Shaded Ruins bonfire there is a window at your left that you can jump out of. When you land go to the building at your left, in an Iron Chest.
  • Drangleic Castle: When you first enter go left of the big stairs, through an alcove, and to the room on your left.

      Much prefer vanilla’s placements, you are able to get 5 before the castle. You can even get 5 from just bonfire ascetics and beating dragon rider.

        Btw, small but good detail. the first 4 are on seperate paths to 1 of the 4 Old Ones... No Man's Wharf: Lost Sinner... (Forest of the Fallen Giant path is the optional way, according to beta design data from the concept of the original game, the Bird Nest never existed in an early design and you were meant to go there AFTER seeing Ancient Dragon for the Giant Memories) The Gutter: The Rotten... Huntsman's Copse: Old Iron King... Shaded Woods: Duke's Dear Freja... and the final one is in Drangleic Castle, a place you go after the 4 Old Ones, it's a small but really good detail...

          I beat the base game and am going through the DLC but never knew that you use this to upgrade your estus. I was wondering why mine barely healed

            In SotFS, there’s a sublime bone dust after defeating the Dragonrider and descending into the split-level hallway. On the lower level, take a left and it will be in an iron chest guarded by a knight.

              For the one in the Gutter in SOTFS, I might be wrong, but I think that area is technically the Grave of Saints?

              It's right after the Rat NPC. You drop down those ledges to the bridge. Closest bonfire is the one right before the Rat mob boss.

              Pretty sure "The Gutter" doesn't display on-screen until you get past that little shanty-town-like structure with broken ladders and then enter the little cave. Can't get to the dust from any of the Gutter bonfires.

                Is it just me or does the healing process goes really slow once you get one of these my estus is currently +4 and I can only use it 6 times

                  "They say these are the remains of a saint who cast himself into the bonfire."

                  Possible reference to one of DS endings ?
