Gazing Finger | Elden Ring Wiki

Y'know, I just noticed that the specific fingerprint design surrounding Metyr's eye looks a helluva lot like the Blackflame Incantations sigil. Huh.

Submit

Hmm yes this will be great on my pure strength build that randomly has 20 int and 14 faith

Submit

Looks like the best int scaling of any colossal

Submit

Colossal dong weapon.

Submit

One handed heavy doesn't have a follow up. Still love it, just thought it was odd.

Submit

Great for bullying low level hosts with that weapon art. Perfectly sets them up for hefty rot pot on the wake up ;)

Submit

So, this is the culprit of making a stone slab, which was used as a tomb to become the Fingerprint Great Shield...

Submit

Sometimes I find useful in PvP:

CR1 -> uncharged R2 is a roll catch that does insane damage with 2H Talisman, easily 1500-1600.

CR1 -> crystal dart headshot -> uncharged AoW is a true combo

Free aiming the ash behind you is an option to counter quickstep backstab cheese. You can change the trajectory of the slam after you begin the animation so a lot of people will go for the quickstep assuming you're locked on and get caught.

After landing the ash you have a lot of follow ups. In an invasion you can heal, or just use the ash again depending on the terrain. If you're running a Str/Int or bonk caster build there are multiple solid spell set ups, my favourite is vortex of putrescence into cherishing fingers. Charged blades of stone works well too.

Gravity stone fans are a great tool to catch people with the ash from a distance.

Submit

pretty underrated for pvp, does a lot of damage even without accounting for scaling, the heavy is a rollcatch and can even hit the best players, and the ash is absolutely insane.

Submit

Metyr’s dong can bong tarnished.

Love it !

Submit

I got destroyed in the arena by some guy named "Metyr's gigolo" using this thing lmao, 2 shot me with 60 vigor and heavy armour.

Submit

its funny that she is still alive just without a body and the explenation for the weapon art is that every time you lower it she gets pissed

Submit

Can I vote?

Submit

This is like the 6th Fromsoft souls game and people still don't know how scaling works.

Submit

Always worth noting that this weapons attacks consume less stamina than other colossals.

Honestly Str/Int build with this, a Waves of Darkness Greatsword, and some spells made for probably the easiest invasion experience I've had in this game.

Submit

If I had a nickel for every colossal weapon in this dlc that's the severed head of a boss, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

Submit

Weapon would have been so much better within the Great Hammer family. We never got a remembrance great hammer and due to this being a lighter colossal anyway to me that says it perhaps should have went there instead of being stuck in colossal town

Submit

The R2's are not the same as the Great Club and Sunflower. Similar, yes, but the animations are definitely different.

Submit

So we literally just chop off this creep's finger-head with a still-living eyeball on it, and get it angry enough that it barfs out holy radiation like a fricking GOD SWORD does.

Sick

Submit

Point down: the weapon art.

Submit

Is it the middle finger though ?

Submit

This is great into people who mindlessly abuse hyper armour on weapons like Rakshasa, just hit L2 as soon as they do anything and win the trade.

Also the hitbox on the wave travels farther and lingers longer than the animation implies. Really nasty in invasions.

Submit

"From within the center of the fingerprint that wrinkles the creature's foremost protrusion, a tiny wart-like eye gazes vacantly into the beyond"

..... Well I don't like THAT...

so op

Submit

Glazing Finger

Submit

Best colossal in PvP by quite a considerable margin. The skill seriously might be the best trade tool in the game, good damage, combos into itself if uncharged (you can charge to try and roll catch too) and knocks the opponent into the air giving you a ton of time to heal or cast something like vortex of putrescence. Definitely shines more in the 150-200 range where you have more levels to work with but since the initial slam scales with AR even at minimum faith this can do serious damage.

Submit

Wielding this with the Fingerprint Stone Shield, Fingerprint set, and the Finger Seal for my Mike Ehrmantraut cosplay

Submit

This literally fingers the **** out of anything

Submit

Miyazaki was feeling particularly evil when he made the AoW ONLY scale with Faith, and then hid this fact by making the Faith scaling an E.

Submit

Ok, So don't sleep on this weapon. It's complicated scaling makes it expensive to invest in, and is definitely only viable in the end-game, but this is an incredible weapon in PVE and PVP. The L2 and the R2 share the same overhead slam, but have different followups that can trick your opponent. First off, the L2 hits 3 times: on the slam down, on the ash of war's effect, and again on the recovery when picking up the weapon. If you catch someone with all three, it can be a one-hit KO.

However, most people will catch on to this after a few slams and will start trying to flank you during your wind up. This is when you switch to your R2. The R2 has that same long wind-up (which can be a hinderance sometimes), but the R2 tracks after the wind up. So what happens is someone moves to flank you, thinking you're doing the Ash of War, and then WHAM! You suddenly spin and smack them with a heavy that can will chop off more than 75% of most Tarnished's health bars. Some folk with low vigor can be one shot be the R2.

If someone is pressuring you too much and its hard to get the with this weapon's long wind-ups, try using the rolling R1, its a very quick slam with a very short range, but it will make people think twice about trying to get up in your business.

After experimenting with this a bit, my opinion of this has changed from "mediocre weapon" to "good weapon held back by confusing design choices" that I feel could be easily addressed. The scaling is garbage in relation to the minimum stat requirements and what the stats actually scale. The Strength scaling only affects the Physical damage of the Weapon which makes sense, but Intelligence only affects the damage of the Weapon and NOT the Skill since it does Holy damage (for some reason, this isn't a "Golden Order Seal" kind of situation where the damage could scale with both Intelligence and Faith) while Faith affects both the Weapon AND Skill damage, but has a much lower scaling value than Intelligence. If you swapped the Intelligence and Faith minimum requirements and scaling values on this weapon, it would be way better.

Submit

This thing destroys fire knights and black knights

Submit

Amazing in invasions for baiting people into a small area where they can't run behind you to counter it. If they are gonna run behind you, you can free aim it as well to try and catch them. As others have said the damage is great. The AoW knocks people into the air and is great for setting up other spells and abilities.

Submit

This thing is ugly.

Submit

Say what you will about the damage and scaling, the weapon skill and poise damage this thing brings to the table is really good for being the lowest str colossal weapon in the game.

Submit

As a wise man once said, “WHOA! FINGERBLAST!”

Submit

Holy, magic, physical, AOE, CC, range, it has a LOT of versatility packaged together for the stat requirements. Honestly, my favorite weapon right now.

Submit

its a giant finger why do you need intelligence? who asked for that feature, not even a worthwhile weapon, ontop of that and pretty much never do the requirements get tweaked in patches

Submit

this and the anvil greathammer have annoyingly convoluted stat requirements and scaling... but they're also both really cool weapons.

Submit

WTF why her weapon descriptions so depressing?!

Submit

the R2 should be anything except what it is now because if something moves you're not hitting it anymore

Submit

poise damage of light attack and jump heavy attack is even higher than giant-crusher... why is that??

Submit

Wish I could powerstance this with the ringed finger. : (

Submit

"mEtYr DoEsN'T DiE ShE jUsT TeLePOrTs AwAy"

"yeah sure anyway here's her ****ing severed head on a stick, enjoy"

Submit

Probably the most f*cked scaling ive ever seen. melee damage is str int, ash damage is fth

Submit

Finally the perfect str/int weapon! Thanks Miyazaki!

What's that? A 14 faith req? Oh well we muscle mages have made do with wor–What's that? D int scaling?? Surely it affects physical and not just the measly base magic damage... it doesn't???

Oh Miyazaki, whyyy

Submit

The R2 should shoot the individual laser beams the boss does during the pause before the slam.

Submit

fitting that the r2 looks like you're holding the weapon to you face in solemn prayer since hitting anyone with this immediately puts the fear of god in them

Submit

A cool weapon! But very outclassed in pve. In pvp it really shines, especially in invasions

Submit

Primarily a Strength weapon, requires 20 Intelligence which has a much lower influence on the damage on this weapon, and the Ash of War only scale with your Faith which has an even lower influence on the damage of the weapon itself. What a bizarrely designed weapon, it's frankly confusing, I have a hard time imagining anyone on the development team designing it this way on purpose, it's not intuitive and honestly kind of mediocre as a result of these design decisions. As far as good weapons to use on an Int + Fath builds, this update as a whole was kind of a letdown, what we got where a haphazard mishmash of Frenzy Flame weapons, the Smithscript weapons (which tend to be better on a specific build rather than a hybrid build), and this thing. It's usable, but not what I would call amazing, you'd be better of reaching the minimum requires for Int (20) and Faith (14) and then investing until you reach 54 Strength, then two-hand it. Put the rest of your points into Vigor (until 60) and Endurance (until you reach your desired amount to wear your desired Armor and Talismans) for the best results.

Submit

The description says it scales with STR, DEX, and Faith, but then it shows below that it scales with STR, INT, and Faith. So which is it?

Assuming it does scale with INT, what does increasing INT improve? The weapon damage, the weapon art damage, both? One more than the other?

Submit

An STR/FAI weapon that requires 20 INT that has basically the same AoW as the Sacred Relic Sword but weaker… right. Why in the hell would anyone use this other than for a finger themed meme build?

Submit

What a waste of a weapon. Scales with Str and Int best, but the AOW scales on faith? Why does everything in the DLC use faith. The one time I went with a character with Int instead of faith and I miss out on every f'n weapon in the DLC

Submit

why does it say without modification in the item description, is it like the twin princes greatsword or is there a way tk change the weapon

Submit

Trash weapon from a trash boss.

Submit

I want to be a finger maiden, I'm brave enough for this

Submit

AR scales with STR:

20 STR: 686
40 STR: 789
60 STR: 864
80 STR: 927
Increase from 20 to 40: 103
Increase from 40 to 60: 75
Increase from 60 to 80: 63

Is it worth going beyond 40-60? I'm not sure.

Now about the AoW wave. The wave itself only scales with Faith, but I don't see a reason to invest in Faith.
Uncharged wave:

20 Fth: 1397
40 Fth: 1482
80 Fth: 1546
With this scaling, I don't see a reason to go beyond the requirements needed for the incantations you plan to use.
INT scales minimally.

Submit

In an interview Miyazaki stated that the inspiration behind this weapon was a quaint memory of finding a similar weapon in his mother’s dresser.

Submit

Why does a rememberance boss weapon have such bad scaling and why does it's worst scaling stat effect the ash of war. Why do they keep doing this. I hope they do something to fix it because a boss that's supposed to be this significant should get better than whatever they are doing here.

Submit

do wish it was easier to wield alongside the fingercreeper finger

Submit

The wave on this weapon's Ash of War scales off of its Faith stat and deals a hidden 3rd damage type (Holy), so if you're trying to minmax the wave's damage, ignore Intelligence after 20 and dip into Faith to buff the damage of the wave. This will not affect the weapon's normal attacking damage so strike a nice medium between Strength and Faith to get the most out of it

Submit

A must have weapon for the Freddy got Fingered build.

Submit

Shard only buffs the direct hit of the weapon art. The shockwave, which is much more important, is not buffed.

Submit

The top of it looks like a finger, the middle looks like a but hole

Submit

fromsoft trying to make weapons with a ranged weapon art that can lift off the ground 2 feet (impossible)

Submit

according to my testing (literally just testing different attacks before and after consuming different knot tears) the wave portion of the skill is only influenced by faith

Submit

The R2's made me expect Fume Ultra Greatsword with block frames doing attack with the way it holds it front of you, but no.
IS there anything to that?

Submit

Just go full str with Alex Shard and 2h talisman, this thing absolutely smashes, gives nearly infinite poise during weapon art animation

Submit

I'm ngl, when I saw the same I had to do a double take cuz I thought it was "Glazing Finger"

Submit

The only unique str/int weapon in the dlc (if you don't count the carian shield)

Submit

alright, lets go make some fools bow

Submit

wish this would've scaled better with the int and fth than the str, all the new int/fth weapons in the DLC get horrible scaling and i would've loved for this to be the exception.

Submit

Glazing Finger

Submit

please keep overlooking this, us str/int builds were robbed by gross faith build overcompensation this dlc so we'll need all the w's we can get

Submit

A weapon for a weird quality type build. Recommend 54 strength, 41 int, and 25 faith. 16 for both mind and endurance. You can cast well with the staff of the great beyond and the weapon’s AR is like 960 when 2 handed

Submit

This thing……my god the dmg is unholy

55 str and dipping mainly into int, 800-900 dmg, I hv become the pvp fingerer

Submit

New patch made fixed its faith scaling wonder how much it does at maximum stats now?

Submit

Ugly weapon from an even uglier boss.

Submit

This has a unique heavy attack animation, but essentially the same damage and downswing. The animation puts it right in front of your face and vertical, as opposed to just off to the side and vertical.

Submit

dual wield with ringed finger from base game, finger enemies to death

Submit

Is this serviceable on a int/fth sorcery build? Planning to go 32int-58fth with the finger catalyst and get the base stats required to wield the weapon. It's about 700 ar

Submit

So apparently the aow does holy damage despite being a STR/INT weapon. That means you get a version of the sacred relic sword that needs to be charged to have the same amount of range. I don’t think they really thought through most of these remembrance weapons tbh

Hey kid named finger! If that's your real name. Congratulations on passing the Ohio state bar. You are the greatest legal mind I've ever known. Oh and, when you get into the court room, maybe don't shout 'THE ONE PIECE! THE ONE PIECE IS REAL!!'. You're gonna scare away your clients. Maybe just keep that to yourself. Oh and as your old pal chuck says: 'Have some more chicken, have some more pie. It doesn't matter if it's boiled or fried!' Have a happy monday, Better Call Saul day!

20 Int requirement but it doesn't even scale off Int, galaxy brain developers back at it again

BEHOLD!!! THE FORBIDDEN FINGER OF RESENTMENT!!! THE TWO AND THREE FINGERS EVEN FEAR IT!!! THE ONE FINGER TO RULE THEM ALL!!! THE MIDDLE FINGER!!!

Seems to have extra poise on the charged heavies than normal colossals. Can someone confirm or deny?

Submit

It seems the wave damage doesn't get buffed by Shard of Alexander, only the initial hit. Is this intended?

Submit

The scaling on the page is wrong. This has Strength C, Int D, and Faith E. There is no Dex scaling, and there is Int scaling.

Submit

Anyone have any build recommendations? Also is this weapon any good for final boss?

Submit

If I have a dime every time fromsoft made a weapon that’s a finger I would have two dimes which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice

Submit

Thing smacks very hard. Skill can endlessly juggle things in the air. 10/10 would juggle Leda and her goons/ random invaders again. If not using it for the knockup or aoe use something else. Gets slightly out damaged.

so youre telling me im forcing an eldrich horror to bow and using its resentment to cause the ground to explode? thats metal as ****, absolute peak

why does this have a dex requirement? there aren't even any classes that start below 9 dex
