 * burning a cannibal's whole body (dropping in a campfire, throwing molotov on it, etc.)
 * burning an effigy and collecting the bones after the effigy has been used up
 * finding them in the caves and around abandoned camps
 * knocking down cannibal effigies to obtain legs and arms, burn them or consume them to obtain 1 bone each.

The following items contain bones when consumed or burnt: Arm Leg Torso Corpse Full bodies with every limb attached will provide 6 bones

 * Knock down cannibal effigies and find legs and arms, burn them to obtain bones from them
 * Use Console Commands, in the main menu type . Once you are in the game, press   then type  . This will add one bone to your inventory. You can press   again and use the arrow up key to repeat the same command.
