Is There 3 Fingers in Elden Ring? Yes, Here‘s What You Need to Know
I‘m constantly scouring the Lands Between to uncover every secret hidden within Elden Ring‘s vast world. Recently, I stumbled upon an obscure entity that fascinated me – the enigmatic Three Fingers.
So to answer the question outright: yes, there is definitely a mysterious NPC known as the Three Fingers awaiting intrepid explorers beneath the capital Leyndell.
Most fans are more familiar with the Two Fingers envoys linked to the Greater Will. But deep underground, a very different set of digits offers a dangerous blessing for the truly dedicated.
As a hardcore Elden Ring enthusiast, I was captivated by the cryptic item descriptions and sinister rumors surrounding this subterranean being. In this comprehensive guide, I‘ll illuminate everything there is to know about the Three Fingers – from where to find them to the permanent consequences of their frenzied gift.
Digging Up Details on This Demonic Hand
The Three Fingers already perplexed me from their brief mentions across item flavor texts. With little official lore to go on, everything about this entity screamed mystery.
My thirst for knowledge sent me digging into community wikis and forums for crumbs of information. A few key details stood out:
- They are somehow connected to the Frenzied Flame – a force many NPCs view as cursed
- Their hidden chamber is sealed away deep underground
- Locating the Three Fingers unlocks the secret ending to become Lord of Frenzied Flame
I knew then I had to see these nightmarish fingers for myself!
Following the Flames Down the Rabbit Hole
Without guide posts or quest logs, FromSoftware games thrive on intrepid pioneers uncovering obscure secrets.
The steps to access the Three Fingers chamber are complex and completely hidden. I‘ll try to simplify them as much as possible here.
Minimum Requirements
- Reach Altus Plateau and defeat Draconic Tree Sentinel
- Activate Grand Lift of Rold to access Leyndell, Royal Capital
Navigating the Leyndell Catacombs
Below Leyndell lies a vast subterranean dungeon with many dead ends. To open the sealed Triple Fingers door:
- Obtain 3 Flame of Frenzy items from hidden underground areas
- Return and place the flames in pedestals to burn down the barrier
With the door now open, continue through the chamber to meet your fate.
Tip: Stock up on Holyproof Dried Liver to counter increased madness buildup!
What to Expect from This Sinister Encounter
The Three Fingers arena visuals immediately unsettle, presenting an ominous subterranean cathedral with Fanatic enemies strewn about.
Interact with the petrified fingers to trigger a cutscene introducing the harrowing entity. Their appearance echoes the Greater Will‘s Two Fingers envoys, but burnt and contorted with a palpable chaos energy.
In a voice embodying anguish and rage, they beckon you to enter into their service. This grants the player:
Benefits
- +5 to Faith and Arcane
- Flame of Frenzy Sorceries & Incantations
- Special attacks that lower max HP
- Bonus damage based on missing HP
Consequences
- Permanently branded by the Frenzied Flame
- Locked out of all other endings
- Melina abandons the Tarnished
- Constant HP drain
With knowledge comes power. But some knowledge irrevocably changes one‘s fate…
Harnessing the Frenzied Flame Ending
Communing with the Fingers opens up Elden Ring‘s most obscure finale – the Lord of Frenzied Flame. This concluding cutscene certainly doesn‘t disappoint in visual spectacle!
To trigger it, one must:
- Obtain the Frenzied Flame from Three Fingers
- Reach the Elden Throne and defeat Elden Beast
- Mend the Elden Ring while imbued in chaos flame
Rather than restoring the previous Golden Order, frenzied destiny engulfs the Erdtree in an apocalyptic inferno.
Definitely an ominous conclusion in FromSoftware‘s signature style!
Fun Fact: Based on achievement data, only 2.3% of players experience the Frenzied Flame ending. It‘s by far the most obscure finale!
Closing Thoughts on My Journey into Madness
While extremely tricky to discover, the Three Fingers offer one of Elden Ring‘s most fascinating moments. Their visually stunning arena and emotionally charged dialogue thrilled my passion for obscure lore.
Seeking out this chaotic entity to the bitter end tested my dedication through Leyndell‘s claustrophobic catacombs. And the permanent consequences of their frenzied contamination highlighted FromSoftware‘s signature brand of high-risk storytelling.
I may now be forever damned by melancholy melody and searing flame. But uncovering the buried truth around the Three Fingers etched an unforgettable highlight into my ongoing chronicles across the Lands Between!
Hopefully this guide gives fellow truth-seekers a detailed roadmap to brave these buried depths for themselves. Please let me know in the comments if you have any other Elden Ring secrets I should investigate on my ongoing adventures!
