Fingers cannot speak, yet these were eloquent. Persistently did they wriggle, spelling out mysteries in the air. Thus did we gain the words. The words of our faith.
Fingers cannot speak, yet these were eloquent. Persistently did they wriggle, spelling out mysteries in the air. Thus did we gain the words. The words of our faith.- Two Fingers Heirloom
Two Fingers have an appearance resembling part of a giant hand, with a slight indentation in the “palm”, and two finger-like appendages on the top, hence their name.
In the past, the Fingers were masters of oration, their wisdom attracting champions to Roundtable Hold.[9] They were said to communicate using a language of light,[10] composed of intangible symbols that appeared to hang in the air. These inscriptions could be fashioned into weapons such as the Cipher Pata and the Coded Sword. The Two Fingers are also the source of Two Fingers Incantations and possess the ability to restore the blessings of the Great Runes atop the ancient Divine Towers.
The Fingers are attended by Finger Readers, who interpret their wisdom for the Tarnished, those to whom Grace has returned.[11] Churches dedicated to the Two Fingers exist beyond the Lands Between, served by confessors who hunt down their enemies.[12] While some Tarnished remain faithful, the Fingers are now believed to be corrupted and senile,[13] having been broken along with the Erdtree long ago.[14]
Locations[]
One living Two Fingers can be found in Roundtable Hold, behind a set of doors that remain closed until the Tarnished champion acquires their first Great Rune. They will be at the back of the chamber with Finger Reader Enia sitting close by. The Two Fingers here appears to be in a state of decay, missing patches of skin with exposed flesh on its body and “fingers”.
There are several Two Fingers that can be found throughout the Lands Between. They can be found at the top of the Divine Towers littered about the world, however, they appear to have long since died through unknown means.
Notes[]
The Two Fingers cannot be attacked or killed through any means during normal gameplay.
They can only be harmed by the Fingerslayer Blade, wielded by someone with a destined fate.
The individuals known to have been named Empyrean by the Two Fingers include Malenia, Miquella, Ranni, the Gloam-Eyed Queen, and Queen Marika herself.
The Finger Mimic mushrooms were known as the "stillborn of the Two Fingers."[15] These fungi were harvested and consumed by the finger-weavers for their hallucinogenic properties.
Trivia[]
Many characters distrust the Two Fingers:
Count Ymir believes that the Fingers are themselves flawed, that the instructions they give do not come from the Greater Will but instead from the Finger's belief in what the Greater Will says.[16][17]
White Mask Varré views the Two Fingers in a poor light, believing they had fallen into madness and lost their purpose after the Greater Will abandoned the Lands Between.[13]
Dialogue[]
Although the Two Fingers do not speak directly, their words are relayed by Finger Reader Enia at certain points in the game.
↑Enia: "I interpret the words of the Fingers, envoys to the Greater Will."
↑Ranni: "I was once an Empyrean. Of the demigods, only I, Miquella, and Malenia could claim that title. Each of us was chosen by our own Two Fingers, as a candidate to succeed Queen Marika, to become the new god of the coming age."
↑Ranni: "Which is when I received Blaidd. In the form of a vassal tailored for an Empyrean."
↑Count Ymir: "There never was any hope. They were each of them defective. Unhinged, from the start. Marika herself. And the fingers that guided her."
↑ 13.013.1Varré: "The words of the Two Fingers cannot be trusted. Truly, naught but rambling, senile delusions. I believe, that when the Elden Ring was shattered, the Two Fingers were corrupted, their guidance skewed. Even worse, the Fingers harbor no love for our kind. That's the part that irks the most."
↑Count Ymir: "Do you recall what I said? That Marika, and the fingers that guided her, were unsound from the start. Well, the truth lies deeper still. It is their mother who is damaged and unhinged. The fingers are but unripe children. Victims in their own right. We all need a mother, do we not?"
↑Patches: "I always hated the gibberish about lost grace and the laughable Two Fingers. I thought I could lend a hand in unmasking the charade."
↑Gideon Ofnir: "Go, if you would. Take no heed of "cardinal sin". The Two Fingers lost their purpose a long, long time ago."
