What is the Ringed Finger Hammer?
As the name reveals, the Ringed Finger Hammer is a weapon with the game’s titular rings that players can equip and attack enemies with. While most hammers in Elden Ring look like their real-life counterpart with some visual modification, Ringed Finger Hammer is a finger from the Fingercreeper from Caria Manor, bejeweled with shiny rings. You know, the enemies that look like a large, blue hand with rings on one of its fingers.
Ringed Finger Hammer is more of a bludgeon instead of a hammer and is a good weapon to damage enemies with a strong guard. Moreover, this hammer also has a unique weapon art called “Claw Flick,” where the finger swells up and flicks the enemies with immense strength. Who or where the weapon was conjured is a fact unknown. However, the official item description says the following:
“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.”
How to Get Ringed Finger Hammer in Elden Ring
There is only one Ringed Finger Hammer in Elden Ring for players to obtain and wield. As for its location, well, the weapon is hidden in one of the hero’s graves in the Altus Plateau. Here are the steps to find the Ringed Finger Hammer.
- First, reach the area between Mt Gelmir and Altus Plateau. Follow the northern roads of the Altus Plateau around the mountains and through the Abductor village. Keep in mind that it’s a mid-to-late game area, so you need to progress well into the game to reach here. The closest site of grace is Primeval Sorceror Azur, which unlocks after defeating the side-boss Demi-Human Queen Maggie.
- Head inside the Gelmir Hero’s Grave dungeon by taking a lift inside. Make sure you activate the site of grace.
- Here, take a left, and follow the road until you find a room with a pathway in the middle and lava canals at the side.
- Before you follow the road, remember that a chariot patrols the paths of this room, and it instantly kills players by running over them. Fortunately, at a few meters, there are small arches (marked below) where players can enter quickly and wait for the chariot to move away before they start running for their lives again.
- Once the chariot turns around, start running by holding space on the keyboard (B on an Xbox controller and circle on a PlayStation controller). Reach the arch and take out the skeleton inside the arch. Don’t worry about killing them while they resurrect because the chariot will take care of them if they are in the middle of its pathway.
- Keep following the above path until you find the edge of the floor, where the pool of lava starts. There are no possible ways to skip the pool of lava, so start rolling to the wall at the end. There will be a spot at the right if players roll straight. Go and stand there to take a breather.
- Right across the spot, there will be a room across the lava floor on the south side. Roll across to enter the room and open the chest to obtain the weapon.
