Finger of Metyr Build Guide In Shadow of the Erdtree

As a seasoned Elden Ring player with countless hours under my belt, I’ve had the pleasure of wielding and mastering some of the most formidable weapons in the game. But none have left me as utterly captivated as the enigmatic Gazing Finger. With its unique design and devastating capabilities, this weapon has become the cornerstone of my latest build.

One of the rare weapons that needs four essential stats to wield effectively is the Gazing Finger. This formidable Colossal weapon in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is perfect for whacking adversaries on the head, annihilating them instantly. To obtain this weapon, players must secure the Remembrance of the Mother of Fingers. Properly employed, players will shatter enemy defenses and crush foes left and right.

Using this weapon is like wielding a formidable weapon that inflicts considerable poise damage. Its weapon art grants the player a reasonable amount of hyper armor, making it an effective option for staggering challenging enemies. Furthermore, it comes with a potent ash of war that can be easily utilized by players.

Stat Spread To Optimize Gazing Finger in SOTE

As a seasoned adventurer with years of combat experience under my belt, I’ve come across my fair share of formidable weapons. But none quite like this colossal one. This bad boy is primarily a Strength-scaler, as most effective bludgeoning tools are. Yet, what sets it apart from the rest is its unique scaling with Intelligence and Faith.

At level 150, to deal the most damage with your weapon, you have two options: consistently use the strong attack or frequently employ the weapon skill. If you opt for skill spam, prioritize investing in Faith as your main stat. However, keep in mind that strong attacks depend almost exclusively on Strength. While Intelligence can slightly enhance the damage, its impact is minimal and can be disregarded after reaching the 20-point threshold.

Vigor	40
Min	22
Endurance	30
Strength	60
Dexterity	9
Intelligence	20
Faith	40
Arcane	7

As you level up more, bring Vigor to 60, Endurance to 40, and your primary scaling stat to 80.

Best Talismans for Gazing Finger in the Elden Ring DLC

Finger of Metyr Build Guide In Shadow of the Erdtree

Using the Gazing Finger as a proven powerful tool, you can effectively enhance your build by focusing primarily on maximizing its damage. Disregard other considerations and select the following talismans to boost your proficiency in the weapon skill, “Kowtower’s Resentment”: [Your Talisman 1], [Your Talisman 2], [Your Talisman 3], and [Your Talisman 4].

: Increases stamina regeneration

: Decreases FP consumed by skills

: Increases damage dealt by charged skills and spells

: Increases the damage of Holy attacks but decreases damage negation

The shock wave generated by the weapon skill isn’t amplified by Gazing Finger, rendering it less effective.

If your goal is to prioritize the physical aspect and inflict maximum harm without employing that particular skill, consider this approach instead:

: Increases stamina regeneration.

: Increases damage from two-handing a weapon

: Increases damage dealt by jump attacks

: Increases damage after dealing critical hits

Improving your weapon’s construction for its ash of war will enhance its capacity for inflicting raw damage. However, this approach may yield fewer staggers. While the physical aspect of the weapon is proficient at causing posture damage, it doesn’t excel in dealing immense overall damage.

Spell Choices for the Gazing Finger

With a Intelligence score of 20, players will enjoy greater flexibility in selecting spells for this character setup. However, the use of spells is not essential to this build as it effectively handles both area of effect and single target damage situations. Additionally, its ability to deal significant damage from a distance makes it an excellent all-purpose build.

The Golden Vow incantation is recommended since it is one of the best buffing spells in the game. Other than that, players can use any spell that they think is viable. If players increase their Int to 25, they can also equip the Staff of the Great Beyond, which can be used to cast both incantations and sorceries.
