The Fingercreeper is a type of Wildlife Creature in Elden Ring. Fingercreepers are hostile, grotesque creatures resembling a severed hand, comprised of gigantic disembodied fingers. They use their fingers to quickly move about and can fire a binding spell from the ring on the middlemost finger.
These are the larger variant of the Lesser Fingercreeper, and can often be found amongst groups of them lurking on the side of cliffs and buildings. Aside from being stronger and more powerful, one of their fingers bears a set of enormous gold rings, one of which holds a purple gemstone that allows Fingercreepers to launch an orb of gravity magic to ensnare and pull in anyone caught in it.
Fingercreeper Locations in Elden Ring
Fingercreepers can be found in the following locations:
- Caria Manor: prominently found around the gardens along with their Lesser counter parts.
- Mt. Gelmir: by the pillar next to the Road of Iniquity Site of Grace.
- Can be encountered in the sewage section of Leyndell, Royal Capital.
- Mountaintops of the Giants. They are accompanied by Lesser Fingercreepers, and there are two Colossal Fingercreepers at Flame Peak, as well.

Elden Ring Fingercreeper Notes & Tips
- When hit with any weapon/spell dealing Fire Damage, Fingercreepers are stunned for a few seconds, with an animation of them "dusting off", which deals additional damage to them.
- It's recommended to maneuver yourself to their “backs,” as their attacks come mainly from the front.
- They can sometimes fire off a purple orb that tracks the player down, which will explode and immobilize you. They will often follow up with a Grab.
- Those found in Caria Manor often hide underneath items, grabbing the player if caught. They can be distinguished by their fingernails protruding from the ground.
Negations (or Absorptions)
- Phy (Standard): -10
- Phy (Slash): -40
- Phy (Strike): -10
- Phy (Pierce): -10
Magic
Fire
Lightning
HolyThe absorption numbers are the % of your damage that gets blocked. For example, if an absorption is 60, 40% of that damage by that type will go through and 60% is absorbed. Bigger number = less damage. An absorption of 100 means no damage goes through, and a resistance of -100 mean the enemy takes 2x damage from that source. 0 means damage goes pretty much as is.
Resistances
Poison: 247
Scarlet Rot: 247
Hemorrhage: 185
Frostbite: 247
Sleep
MadnessThe resistance numbers are the buildup amount to trigger it. For example, if a resistance is 100 you must deal 100 points of the given buildup to trigger it. Note that these go down over time, and increase each time the effect procs. The values after the "/"s indicate the increased resistances after each successive proc.

Ringed Finger
Bludgeon made of an enormous finger sheathed in several heavy rings. Thought to have been cut from an ancestor of the Fingercreeper.
Some life yet remains in this legacy of an ancient act of blasphemy, as evidenced by the barely perceptible warmth it still exudes.

I was bathed in blood fighting these, until I discovered fire and charged attack combo.
- Anonymous
The first enemy in the game to make me truly, genuinely tilted. I was screaming my head off in frustration. I was playing Vagabond, Halberd + Shield combo and guess what? It is the single worst weapon combination against them:
- one-handed halberd is too slow and can't stunlock them - you will get punished for trying to commit to a 2nd thrust;
- guard counter is too slow and has not worked once - they just punch my face in before the halberd connects.
You have NO idea... of the sheer amount of joy experienced when i discovered that Fire causes them suffering. If only this game had white phosphorous.

If you actually compare these to Rykard's hands they never matched. Even the rings are different - they have more fingers, they have hair growing, they're a different color, Rykard has rings on every finger, etc. Not to mention the varied sizes! It never made sense as a headcanon.
- Anonymous
they have the same blisters as godrick and the grafted scion so you'd assume they were artifically created by grafting. then you find them as sort of "watchdogs" in Caria Manor's foregarden so then you think maybe they were created by magic? but then you find them in the mountain tops and the way they're placed around the area makes it seem like they're actual sentient wildlife. and then in the DLC suddenly there is some dude that gives birth to them? so what is it fromsoft?

You can tell FromSoft completely phoned it in with the lore on these. Judging by design and the Ringer Finger weapon, these were supposed to have been severed from something as opposed to being belched our from Metyr.

So since now we know the origins of these guys...
Do you guys think the big ones make their own rings?
- Anonymous
fire pots are your best friend here
they can make the big ones leave their hiding spots if you throw on at them and if they're already out in the open, throwing a fire pot will make them writhe around in agony allowing easy hits
hookclaws + fire pots make them a total breeze

Just met the big one in the DLC, and oh boi that thing puts even Messmer to shame. It's borderline pre-alpha levels of broken. Massive as a building, yet It's hurtbox is somehow of a fly, like, literally 3 swings in a row of Adula's right in front of it somehow didn't register at all, and then there's it's attack hitbox, like even being far behind it hits you. All while the camera is stuck INSIDE IT. Not exactly difficult per-se so it's not even getting recognized, but the jank is real in this one.

I remember being able to keep these guys stun-locked (at least I think) with fire. Now, half the time, they start flailing, and the other half, they just tank through it. It's a little weird, but other than that, these guys aren't too bad. Neat enemy.

What is it with them exactly having the rhythm to hit you while you're med rolling?
Can't escape them for the love of god and just got ****ing slaughtered by the 2 at Caria Manor at the well.

I destroy them with a simple fire flamberge +8 at 30 strength : guard counter then charged attack while they’re rolling on the floor catching fire, and a critical or two light hits to end them. Any fire weapon would do honestly

Always get and stay behind them, torch in left hand (if you don't have a fire weapon), poke with torch and finish off with a bleed weapon.
Always brings them down in no time.

can anybody explain why they are weak to fire? a guy on the steam forum said its an easter egg referencing miyazaki burning his hand which is funny but i dont think is true

Yeah...I think these guys are just the outright worst enemy to fight in the game.
They have similar attack patterns to the Revenant, an enemy that's typically a miniboss and is only encountered singularly even when it isn't a miniboss. However, due to being absolutely massive, you cannot roll to the side, unlike with Revenants. They'll pretty much instantly deplete your stamina bar if you block them, and they hit incredibly fast for their size, again like Revenants. This alone would make them an annoying minboss, but you can encounter...what, a dozen in the first place you fight them?
They do, on paper, have a crippling weakness to fire. And when it works, it absolutely shreds them, just like heals melt the Revenants. The problem is that half the time (seems to depend on their animation?) the fire attack just doesn't actually cause them to panic like it should. It's not that you didn't get off the fire attack, because you can see it deal damage, it just fails to actually put it in its panic animation.
I think that one issue is the biggest reason these guys suck so much. It's not just them having miniboss-level attack patterns and damage despite being a mere large enemy, it's the fact that their weakness simply doesn't work half the time.

It isn't a souls game unless you think "this is the literal worst enemy ever designed" at least 5 times through the game. This is one of them.

These enemies are intensely badly made and patheticly so at that.
Their hit box are all over the place, they can entirely ignore your attacks and substitute it with their own, stunning AND damaging you when they themselves should've been hurt/killed.
The best method to stun and kill these programming errors is to use fire but you should take care that they sometimes simply ignore that this should've stunned them. Range combat is adviced due to the numerous errors.

Walking hitboxes. I guess just having Revenants fill that "niche" wasn't bad enough.
step one - fire arrow (maybe even with mighty shot)
step two - bum rush with melee
step three - ???
stop four - profit

Chuck a fire pot at them first and while they're squirming around finish them off.

Despite not having eyes, i have seen it have the same glowey trail enemies get when they have increased Rune drop. From near the stump. Weird but I did get the souls increase, for once the huge hand drop decent runes..

The one at Foot of Forge is nice to test dmg on. Moves slow and predictable. Close to grace. Alot of HP. Easy to hit, both cuz of its size and its landing on the crow every time gives nice window to charge a phat spell. Share moveset with the smaller but it way bigger so often lunges too far. Often jsut strafes in a wall like an idiot. Few attacks n short combos; easy to learn. Has 0 elemental resistance.
- Anonymous
Correction needed. There are actually FOUR colossal ones. The one that drops on the giant crow, the one buried on the way to the crimsonwhorl tear, and then there are two more on the rock formation directly in front of the Church of Repose where the trolls and crows are fighting. One on the southeast side and a second on the northeast side.

Elden Ring is a great game but it has a lot of very awful enemies which bring down its overall quality.
- Anonymous
Actually one of the worst enemies Fromsoft has ever put out. What were they thinking when designing the move set of these things.
The best strategy I have for dealing with these guys is to always dodge around them. Never dodge backwards because you'll get caught in their combos. Also try and stay behind them as they don't seem to have a rear move and will instead try and turn around to face you.
