Stone material pickups in Finger Ruins of Rhia

Cerulean Coast

Starting Site of Grace: Finger Ruins of Rhia

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. The lower basin opens toward a Furnace Golem. Its fight is optional for reaching the coast, the friendly forager or the lightning-flower pond.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. Gather the nail-like stones scattered on the basin floor around the huge fingers. Use the stone fingers as cover from the lampreys' binding projectiles and watch for Fingercreepers beside the pickups.
14. Return to Finger Ruins of Rhia grace when you have enough. Count Ymir's necklace and ringing the central bell are separate from gathering Nailstone.

Notes

• Three Nailstones and one Pearlescent Scale make one Glinting Nail, unlocked by Finger-Weaver's Cookbook (1). Three stones do not produce a batch of three throwing nails.
• The stones are gathered from the ground in finger ruins. Pearlescent Scale is a different ingredient with its own pickups and eligible enemy drops.
• Both Rhia and Dheo contain Nailstone. Rhia can be reached from the coast without the northern Shadow Keep route needed for Dheo.
• Count Ymir's necklace and the hanging-bell interaction are unnecessary for collecting stones. Those are quest requirements for the bell reward.
• Lampreys can bind you in place from a distance. Gather behind the large stone fingers where possible, rather than stopping in the open basin under their fire.
• Glinting Nail is a consumable tool, separate from the Glintstone Nail and Glintstone Nails sorceries. Those spells do not spend Nailstones from your inventory.
