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.”

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.
