About this spirit

Ashen remains in which spirits yet dwell. Use to summon the spirit of a Fingercreeper.

Devoted to its summoner, this young, diminutive Fingercreeper eagerly restores HP. They are ever so fond of their mothers at this tender age.

Cave near Fingerstone Hill

Scaduview

Starting Site of Grace: Fingerstone Hill

Before you go

• Obtain O Mother and reach Shadow Keep, Back Gate.

1. From Highroad Cross in Scadu Altus, follow the road east to Moorth Ruins and activate the grace beside the cross.
2. Pass through the large stone arch east-southeast of the grace. At the house ahead, turn left toward the leaning tower. Avoid the large open shaft behind the house, which is too deep for a direct drop.
3. Find the smaller gap between the broken building and the rock wall in front of the leaning tower. Drop onto the balcony-like ledge, turn right past the dogs and follow the cave inward.
4. At the open chamber, use the back-left ledges to reach the lower roof. The shrine below is a landmark; its optional chest is not needed to continue east.
5. To continue east, drop from the lower roof to the ground and take the cave beside the building on the left. Follow it to the long ladder and climb out of the well at Bonny Village grace.
6. Before leaving Bonny Village, go north to the headless statue beside the cliff and collect the O Mother gesture. Return to the village for the eastern bridge route.
7. Go east through Bonny Village, watching for the large cleaver-wielding villagers, and cross the two suspension bridges. The second brings you to Bridge Leading to the Village grace.
8. Follow the road north through the woods to Church District Highroad grace. Take the northwestern road through the entrance tunnel and activate Church District Entrance inside Shadow Keep. This eastern entrance leads to the flooded district, rather than the main-gate Hippopotamus arena.
9. Jump from the entrance ledge onto the first roof below. Follow its northwestern edge and jump from the raised roof section to the stone wall opposite, rather than taking the southwestern log platforms toward different loot.
10. Follow the wall around and climb its northeastern rise. Jump to the next roof northwest, where a Fire Knight patrols. Clear it or make enough room to continue safely.
11. Cross toward the next large church and jump onto the sloping stone support on your left. Walk southwest up that support to the high roof, then use the broken roof opening to drop onto the central beam below.
12. Follow the beam to the adjoining upper corridor and drop through the opening in its floor onto the raised church passage. Stay above the water and continue northwest; the Prayer Room door is a separate side destination.
13. Pass the small side room holding a Rune of an Unsung Hero and continue into the corridor patrolled by two Fire Knights. The first left exit leads toward the drainage wheel, while the later left exit leads to the Storehouse lift.
14. Take the later left exit in the Fire Knight corridor, cross to the lift and ride it up into the rear storehouse. Use the doorway on the left to reach Storehouse, Back Section grace. The earlier left exit goes to the drainage wheel instead.
15. Go west across the small wooden bridge and climb the ladder on its right. At the top, go east up the stone stairs, watching the Fire Knight above.
16. Continue northeast past the bookshelves toward the room with Fire Serpent. Use the hole in the southern wall, turn right outside and climb the wooden walkway and stairs to Storehouse, Loft grace.
17. Ride the small lift north of the Loft grace up to the rafters. Turn left toward the west-northwestern beams and work around to the ladder leading to the upper rafters. Deal with the bat before climbing; fighting it while balanced on a narrow beam can knock you off.
18. From the upper rafters, look north-northwest for the arched doorway on a lower platform against the outer wall. Follow the beams until you can drop onto the lower beam and platform beside that doorway. The paired interior lifts and their extra loot are a different detour.
19. Go through the doorway and use the small exterior lift on the right. Follow the wooden walkway and stairs southeast to the larger stone lift, then ride down to Shadow Keep, Back Gate grace.
20. At Shadow Keep, Back Gate, enter the side room with the Marika statue. Perform O Mother in front of it to reveal the passage into Hinterland; do not enter Commander Gaius's field for this route.
21. Activate Hinterland grace and follow the road east past the Tree Sentinels. Continue over the bridge to Fingerstone Hill grace, staying clear of their attacks if passing instead of fighting.
22. Look east of Fingerstone Hill for the hole in the grassy ground before the field of enormous standing fingers. Descend into the cave and watch for the giant Fingercreeper inside.
23. Collect Fingercreeper Ashes from the body. It is a fixed pickup, rather than a random drop from the giant enemy; completing Ymir's bell quest is unnecessary.

Notes

• Costs 80 FP and summons one Fingercreeper for close-range support. It can also restore its summoner's HP.
• The healing is an AI action rather than an on-demand flask replacement. Keep enough room and your own recovery options instead of waiting at critical HP for it to act.
• It is a single spirit rather than a group of hands. The giant Fingercreeper at the pickup is an enemy and does not represent the size of your summoned companion.
• Upgrade the ashes with Grave Glovewort through Roderika.
• Ymir's bell quest does not need to be completed for this corpse. O Mother at Shadow Keep, Back Gate opens the Hinterland route needed to reach Fingerstone Hill.
• The ashes are in the grassy-ground hole before the field of enormous stone fingers, rather than a random drop from repeatedly killing Fingercreepers.
• Its healing needs an opportunity to complete and reach you. A summon that is busy attacking, interrupted or far away is not a dependable substitute for your own emergency flask.
• Your Faith and seal upgrades do not become this spirit's healing equipment. Improving your own incantation damage does not automatically strengthen its separate healing action.
• Upgrades through Roderika to +10 with Grave Glovewort, finishing with a Great Grave Glovewort. Reinforcement does not increase the summoning payment.
• Requires Spirit Calling Bell and an area where the rebirth-monument icon allows summoning. The ash remains reusable, but you cannot repeatedly replace fallen spirits during the same encounter.
