Three Fingers Location in Elden Ring

Three Fingers can be found near the Cathedral of the Forsaken, below the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds. You will need to remove your armor to open the door.

  • This NPC does not move and cannot be interacted with outside of the cutscene where it gives you the Flame of Frenzy.

 

 

Three Fingers Questline: How to complete Three Fingers' Quest

Finding Three Fingers will imbue the character with the Flame of Frenzy which unlocks the Lord of the Frenzied Flame ending. See Endings page.  Interacting with the Three Fingers will also affect the character with large burn scars across their body as well as burning yellow eyes, these can be toggled on or off at Fia's cosmetic mirror in Roundtable Hold or by selecting cosmetics while speaking to Rennala in the Raya Lucaria Grand Library. 

Note: Removing the cosmetics will not remove the Flame of Frenzy nor will it affect the ending.

Note: The player's burning yellow eyes are removed from their eye sockets when they are not the host.

Note: Receiving the Flame of Frenzy will prompt Melina to leave your party thinking that you are no longer fit. She will also threaten to kill the player should they become the Lord of Frenzy.
She does not appear in the final cutscene if she sacrificed herself to the Flame of Ruin.

  

Elden Ring Three Fingers Notes & Trivia

  • By completing Hyetta's questline you will be rewarded with the Frenzied Flame Seal when you speak with her after interacting with the Three Fingers and acquiring the Flame of Frenzy.  She will disappear, leaving the seal in her place as well as 5 Frenzyflame Stones.
  • after the interaction between the player and the three fingers, they will mark your character skin and eyes, it can be removed. Once removed you can't restore the yellow eyes.
  • Meeting with the Three Fingers will lock you out of all other ending choices, unless Miquella's Needle is used at Dragonlord Placidusax's arena at Crumbling Farum Azula. This removes the Frenzied Flame, and is a permanent reversal.

        People think the three fingers are so evil... But nobody knows even talks about... the four fingers. But even he is nothing compared to the evil of.... THE THUMB.... dun dun dun...

          So let me get this straight. You open the door to a room you have never been in before and it immediately locks you into a cutscene, turns you into an ugly glowing-eyed piece of beef jerky, and locks you out of all other endings unless you do a specific thing to reverse it? What an obnoxious waste of time. Cool FromSoft, very cool.

            I fail to see how these guys are so bad as everyone says.
            In Dark Souls, a popular take by the community is that the age of fire is flawed and perpetuates suffering so it's better to snuff it out regardless of the short term consequences. People handwave away edgy characters like Darkstalker Kampf.
            So why does it seem to be the exact opposite in Elden Ring? Why do people hate FF when it's essentially arguing for the same thing: the system perpetuates suffering and it is better to have it destroyed. Why does this trigger so many people?

              1) handshake with these handsome bois

              3) In the Age of Ancients the world was unformed, shrouded by fog. A land of gray crags, Archtrees and Everlasting Dragons. But then there was Fire and with fire came disparity. Heat and cold, life and death, and of course, light and dark. Then from the dark, They came, and found the Souls of the Lords within the flame. Nito, the First of the Dead, The Witch of Izalith and her Daughters of Chaos, Gwyn, the Lord of Sunlight, and his faithful knights. And the Furtive Pygmy, so easily forgotten. With the strength of Lords, they challenged the dragons. Gwyn's mighty bolts peeled apart their stone scales. The Witches weaved great firestorms. Nito unleashed a miasma of death and disease. And Seath the Scaleless betrayed his own, and the Dragons were no more. Thus began the Age of Fire. But soon the flames will fade and only Dark will remain. Even now there are only embers, and man sees not light, but only endless nights. And amongst the living are seen, carriers of the accursed Darksign.
              Yes, indeed. The Darksign brands the Undead. And in this land, the Undead are corralled and led to the north, where they are locked away, to await the end of the world... Unfortunately for you, however, you are maidenless and simp for ranni

                    If this is the only way to truly kill the annoying simpmaker trio "miquella, ranni and godwyn" and their simp-cultists, then count me in 100%, the rest of the lifeless/arrogant undead can also become ash anyways for all i care

                      So from my understanding, what the three finger is trying to accomplish is reuniting the entire world, merging it all back into the original being that got shattered
                      Most people assume that the lord of frenzy ending is just making everyone burn forever when it's a possibility that it's actually just melting them and merging them into one singular being, returning the world to it's original state. If I remember, Hyetta's the one to tell you most of this. I'd say it's the second or arguably third worst ending.
                      Since two worser endings could be the dung eater one (you litterally curse everybody) and it's a debatable topic the age of stars ending as you don't exactly know if the change Ranni's bringing to this world will be good or bad meanwhile the frenzied flame ending is just everything melting and fusing, of course fire hurts but it'll be over soon.

                            I wish FromSoft added more dialogue regarding the frenzied flame and Melina. Especially considering you can save Melina by burning your own flesh and then removing the frenzied flame with Miquella’s needle. Hard to wonder if it was overlooked or just omitted since they had enough detail to remove Melina from the frenzied flame ending if she sacrifices herself before you accept the frenzied flame.

                              The idea of From Software for Chaos is just Evil Chaos, even Order have a good, evill and neutral side with golden order, Fia and fractured endings respectively, and for pure neutral the Ranni ending, but for the chaos side, Frenzy Flame and Dung Eater endings are just Evil Chaos, unless you saw the later as neutral chaos, not a single instance or a good chaos ending.

                                    Does acquiring the frenzied flame lock me out of any questlines aside from Melina's? I get that it locks me out of the other endings but I'd still like to do the quests for those endings anyways... and yes I know about the needle but I want the lord of frenzy ending so the needle isn't an option for me

                                      the Lord of Frenzied Flame ending is the only one that suits my tastes. the player gets manipulated into doing Melina's will from the start, "even if it does violate the Golden Order", the Frenzied Flame ending is probably the only one that frustrates her goals. doing Ranni's ending is basically simping so hard for a bunch of pixels that you decide to take an even harder path than the already hard af one. doing the Golden Order ending still leaves behind the likes of Ranni, Godwyn and who knows how many other people with twisted/wicked/despicable/questionable plans, all of them alive and well-able, with all the resources they could possibly have from the massive world to accomplish whatever they want. and after seeing so many corrupt people with so many corrupt goals everywhere, and seeing how we defeated the first Elden Lord and became the new one, its easy to imagine that one of those will probably be a potential threat, and in the case of Ranni, Godwyn and others, they might only be killable by the Lord of Frenzied Flame ending, so then you only have to worry about Melina (that is, if you have not sacrificed her in the Forge of Giants before paying your visit to the Three Fingers), and even if she is kept alive, her performance during the Morgott battle, the fact she is left with nothing but ashes and Torrent to aid her, makes her decision to try and kill a God Slayer with mastered Frenzyflame abilities sound more like a bluff than anything, and then even if she does manage to kill us somehow, maybe by using some sneaky tactic, she will be left with nothing but an ashen, deeply-burned, deeply-dead world, nothing but ashes everywhere, exactly what she deserves for trying to manipulate the creepiest, most silent Tarnished in the game, a big and epic Uno Reverse at her ass, as well as a big middle finger to all the other scheming gods, demi-gods and entities as well.

                                        It says using the needle at Farum Azula removes the frenzied flame and is a permanent reversal. Does that mean permanent for what's left of your playthrough at that point or permanent from that point and for every NG+ playthrough afterwards?

                                                The three fingers are the better than the two fingers because one, chaos is arguably the best status effect other than blood loss and two it can flip people off. Change my mind.

                                                    This ending is really cool, if not just really sad. Honestly it looks like when Melina picks up the little rune/ring and the whistling starts, she seems to lament Torrent with a moment of silence before proclaiming her promise to killing the frenzied lord.

                                                    It's a pretty messed up ending but definitely my favorite ending! And clearly if Melina survived, there's no way there aren't any survivors or a way to reverse the damage done: she says she'll return destined death to the frenzied lord, which to me implies she'll bring order back.

                                                      Would be kind of neat if toggling the Frenzied Eyes on and off, as well as maybe the burn marks, would give you a lot of Focus (resistance to Frenzy and Sleep) at the cost of maybe taking a decent amount more damage.

                                                                                So I undid it in the game. I did a lenghty side quest to get the needle, I won the hardest boss fight in the game to upgrade the needle, and I moved to the arena of another boss to use it.

                                                                                And what happened when I used the needle? IT ASKED ME IF I'M SURE I WANT TO DO IT. Where was that question when I opened the door in the first place? Ugh.

                                                                                • Anonymous

                                                                                  Seriously wish there was a warning before the door. I opened the door out of curiosity, without any intention to join them, n then my character just walked in n made the choice without any input from me.
                                                                                  When we burn our maiden, the game makes absolutely sure we're sure, even though it doesn't lock us out if any endings, yet this one gets no warning?!!

                                                                                  I didn't plan to pick this ending, and now I'll have to do it again in NG++, since Hyetta didn't show up in this playthrough :/

                                                                                    I used my cloud save to revert back to before this point. Usually your cloud save is delayed by at least a few minutes to a half hour!

                                                                                    If you're reading this, obviously save scum before you accidentally join the Three Fingers!

                                                                                    If not, check your cloud save! Really need to save scum on this game more ugh
