Festering Bloody Finger | Elden Ring Wiki

Anyone else like me wants to do White Mask Varrè's quest but feels bad invading another player's world? Lmao

By buying it from the Hermit Merchant at Hermit Merchant's Shack in the Capital Outskirts, you can actually store it, as when you go past 99 in your inventory, it goes in the storage, seems like a bug tho.

hi guys

Submit

Definitely an upgrade from the DS3 invasion system, solo invasions never made sense unless you're a griefer who can only win against PvE-geared players

Submit

Hermit Merchant at Hermit Merchant's Shack in Altus Plateau sells an infinite amount of them.

Submit

Imagine being such a loser to use this item lmao

Submit

Me when I casually do invasions for Varre quest and then end up with 300000 runes after killing some golden fantom: O.o

Submit

Honestly wish there was an option to either have these infinitely sold somewhere or farmable. It's only because I prefer the basic Invader music over the Bloody Finger music lol

Submit

Invaders are real gamers, defeating casul ganker 3v1s who all have moonveil and RoB's.

Submit

This page says you can not store Festering Bloody Fingers, but I have 21 in my chest. Does anyone know how many I can store?

Submit

I'm gonna do a challenge run here shortly where I can only level up after killing a host. What's the best and quickest way to get these without player trade?

Submit

Gotta love Anti-Ganking Justice Invaders that pop up near or just before the boss door and then likely whine about getting ganked.
The Host and Furled Fingers are anxious to get into a fight: of course they'll try to obliterate you if you stand in their way. Granted, some pin-headed Hosts see red and turn away from the yellow fog to make a beeline for the invader. I can't say I have much sympathy for such Hosts. Personally, I never liked being part of a Gank squad, but if that's what you're after, try ruining their day in Limgrave or wherever else they fester.
And if 3 or 2 V 1 bothers you, just go for duels.

I make it a mission to pick these up on any build I'm doing multiplayer, and use them after clearing an area. It's not the brightest idea, as I generally get trounced while playing honest, but I like making a character and learning what to keep/discard for my build with first-hand experience. Definitely makes PVP more fun when you grow naturally alongside other players, while getting used to the weapons/spells you're using.

Too often before, I've dived into PVP headfirst at levels 100+ and gotten myself destroyed because I didn't KNOW my build, and just slapped stuff together without knowing WHY it works. Being able to practice that early on with trial invasion items is a huge boon in that regard.

cracked red eye orb

Submit

can't invade, no one plays alone anymore, too much 2v1, everyone has bodyguards

Submit

Is there a reason my festering fingers work, but not my reusable bloody finger?

Submit

just tried this out today, ended up chilling with another invader and hunter near agheel swamp. proceeded to celebrate over a bat's corpse. 10/10 will try again

Submit

how does matchmaking work exactly? i'm trying to do the Varre quest on a rl1 run and i cannot get into games.

Submit

Are there some limitations on invasions after beating area bosses or something?

Submit

any use after you get the reusable ones?

Submit

I get that From Software wants to force people to play their PVP mode, for whatever reason, but if they're going to force you to do it couldn't they improve the connections, like just a little bit? Every invader I've gotten invaded by was rubberbanding like crazy. How are you supposed to hit someone with ping that high?? They seriously didn't improve anything from the already terrible PVP in Dark Souls 1-3. I don't even bother trying to fight, it's such a boring waste of time. It's faster just to let the invader kill you or just jump off the nearest cliff. That's all invaders want anyway, for you to die, so why not just give them what they want? Better than the alternative, having a fight that drags on and on for several minutes, wasting both the host and invaders' time. Hopefully the next game they make forgoes mandatory PVP all together but probably not since they want to appeal to the hardcore fighting game crowd for some reason...

Nice __guide__

Submit

One question, is it possible to farm the bloody fingers(I killed varre)

Submit

are these tradeable? could i be dropped max amount of them on a low level character?

Submit

The rewards are really bad for pvp, like totally not worth the effort, I'd rather help someone out and get more stuff out of it.

Submit

Where should I use it

Submit

Lame that you have to beat Godrick or walk alll the way to Volcano Manor just to get an unlimited finger item. They should at least let you buy infinite of these from Patches.

Submit

The hermit merchant in the Hermit merchant Shack in the capital outskirts sells and infinite amount of festering bloddy fingers for 3000 runes each, idk if the cause of it is that a hot fix made this change or if killing the bell bearing hunter at this location changes anything

Submit

bruh, conncection error, is th quest ****ed now?

Submit

HOW do you use it? its always greayed out for me - yes I have the finger seal...

Does this item carry over to NG+?

Submit

Anyone invade a “threadhewn fool” NPC that was super tough using a flail and greatshield, sometimes a bow and great epe? Leaves a rainbow stone on your corpse when you die.

Submit

Anyone else get thrown into the world of a “threadworn fool” in Liurnia using a bow, flail, and great epe? Thought it was a player, but it’s a super tough NPC that drops a rainbow stone on your corpse when he wrecks you. I invaded him a couple times before I got players instead.

Submit

To those that want to know: complete Varre's quest line to get unlimited invade item.

Submit

look up blood finger it is the infinite version of this

Submit

i want more fingers :(

why are there no more fingers. the PVP was soo good. but you only get 5 tries. i am soo sad

Submit

Looking for reusable invade? Why not find volcano manor

Submit

Fromsoftware clearly does not want players invading anymore.

I've been playing since Dark Souls 1 so trust me when I say the Reds have never been at this much of a disadvantage. The Host has infinite summons plus blue phantoms on standby, you can get hit by mobs sometimes during their attacks, not to mention good squads can just whittle down your stamina with magic (which everyone seems to be using for some reason) and constant pressure until you're a sitting duck. Pair that with constant disconnect issues and it really seems like there's no point to invading other than trolling.

You aren't even rewarded with much if you kill the host. Just a Rune Arc and a pitiful number of Echos. You get more out of helping people kill bosses. Invasions are dead.

Submit

Can get 5 for free after killing the witch and going to an NPC at Rose Church.

Submit

I used one, killed a coop and the host, and didn't get anything besides runes. Is this a bug or do you really not get anything?

Submit

Can also obtain from attacking NPC at The First Step grace site. Defeat him, and he will drop 6.

Submit

You can only get so many of these. Where is the infinite use one? The regular bloody finger is nowhere to be found. I want to invade, not duel. The red effigy is only for dueling. Surprised that nobody has mentioned this yet. All online articles seem to be using outdated info or they just don't understand that getting summoned through the red effigy =/= invading.

Submit

Please please PLEASE someone, anyone, if you find a new source of these, please post it! I'm trying to find them in the early game because I love low level invasions but so far the entire internet doesn't know where to find them... I really hope they're not gated behind too much crazy high level content.... oh gosh.. i really hope.. i can invade.. well, thanks for reading, and thanks for helping, potentially! if you do know the answer, and you post the answer, and help! it would be so appreciated! I love you!!! yeah!!!!
