About this crafting material

Light-pink mushroom resembling a wizened finger. Material used for crafting items.

Exceedingly rare to find.

Used to by those who wish to become fingers to induce hallucinations. They call these mushrooms the stillborn of the Two Fingers.

Finger Ruins of Rhia

Starting Site of Grace: Finger Ruins of Rhia

1. To enter the Realm of Shadow, defeat Starscourge Radahn and Mohg, Lord of Blood, then touch the withered arm in Mohg's arena at Mohgwyn Palace.
2. From Castle Front, ride south to the crossroads, turn east and follow the road to the next fork. Take the right-hand dirt track, then the left fork downhill toward the southeast.
3. Pass the bloodfiends and descend into the shallow poison area. Follow the lower path down toward the river rather than climbing toward the fort; watch for militia and poison traps along the descent.
4. At the bottom is a shallow pool with a giant crab. Turn southwest into the opening in the cliff, continue through the cave past the Revered Spirit Ash chamber and activate Ellac River Cave grace.
5. Leave by the southern cave exit and turn south along the river. Use Torrent to cross the successive rock ledges beside the waterfall, landing on the nearby rocks rather than jumping to the valley floor.
6. Continue down the ledge path past the stone birds, watching for the living ones to attack. Drop down the short rock steps to Ellac River Downstream grace.
7. From Downstream, continue south beside the lower falls. Cross the long rock pillar toward the east and use its far side to reach the lower water safely.
8. The lower basin opens toward a Furnace Golem. Its fight is optional for reaching the coast, the friendly forager or the lightning-flower pond.
9. Head through the eastern wooded side of the basin, then follow the passage southwest through the cliffs to Cerulean Coast grace. The blue-flowered field beyond confirms you have reached the coast.
10. Ride south through the blue-flowered field past the huge stone coffins. Circle the Ghostflame Dragon rather than fighting if you only want the map.
11. Continue south toward Cerulean Coast Cross. Before the cross, look northeast for the descending rock ledges toward the beach below, where giant Fingercreepers gather. Use the ledges rather than jumping straight from the high cliff.
12. Follow the beach east to the huge stone coffin wedged between the cliffs. Ride up its sloping surface, turn left at the top and activate Finger Ruins of Rhia grace.
13. Descend through the finger-shaped stones toward the hanging bell in the middle of the ruins. The wormlike enemies fire purple projectiles that bind you in place; keep the stone fingers between you and their shots as you move.
14. Target one of the large lampreys for Finger Mimic drops. Use cover from its binding projectiles and clear nearby smaller enemies before committing to the fight.
15. Defeat the lamprey and collect its drops. Rest at Finger Ruins of Rhia to respawn the enemies for another attempt. Ymir's necklace and the bell interaction are unnecessary for this hunting route.

Notes

• Used in Fingerprint Nostrum. Each craft needs one Finger Mimic, one Pearlescent Scale, one Beast Horn and three Dewgems, after learning Finger-Weaver's Cookbook (2).
• The rare finger-shaped mushroom pickups are finite, but large lampreys can also drop Finger Mimics. Resting resets those enemies for another attempt; a kill does not guarantee the material.
• Large lampreys fire binding projectiles, and another lamprey can teleport in to grab you after a successful snare. Use the stone fingers as cover and avoid drawing several enemies together.
• The material is a mushroom, separate from both the lamprey enemies and the crawling Fingercreepers. Defeating a Fingercreeper does not substitute for hunting the appropriate lamprey.
• You can enter Rhia and gather or hunt without receiving Ymir's necklace. The necklace is for sounding the bell, and the cookbook under his throne is a separate unlock needed to craft the nostrum.
