Select Language:

The Finger Ruins of Dheo is an obscure site within Elden Ring. It serves as the home for fingercreepers and plays a vital role in completing Count Ymir’s questline. However, accessing this area can be quite challenging.

To reach the Finger Ruins of Dheo, you’ll need to follow specific steps in a precise order. This location is filled with some of the most formidable enemies in the game, making it difficult to ring the bells.

This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough to help you navigate to the Finger Ruins of Dheo quickly while dodging any threats along the way.

Obtain the O Mother Gesture

Your first step to reach the Finger Ruins of Dheo is acquiring the O Mother Gesture. Head over to Bonny Village to start this journey.

To get to this hidden village, start at the Moorth Ruins site of grace, then head inside the ruins and proceed westward. Look for a dilapidated building and drop down into it.

Continue descending until you find a tunnel. At the end of the tunnel, climb the ladder to arrive at Bonny Village.

Once in Bonny Village, head southwest until you reach the marked location on your map. You’ll need to use Torrent to cross the ravine. Interact with the object next to the small tree to obtain the O Mother Gesture.

Navigate to Scaduview via Shadow Keep

This journey is lengthy. Head north to reach the Bridge Leading to the Village site of grace, and then continue onward until you arrive at the Church District Highroad, which is northwest from your last location.

Keep going to reach the Church District Entrance. This section is flooded, requiring you to navigate the rooftops. Once you drop down into the library, take the first left to find the lift.

This will lead you to the Storehouse Back Section. This part is quite extensive and involves navigating through scaffolding and rooftops until you reach the high section with beams.

Be cautious and avoid the Messmer Soldiers and any bats in your path. Engaging every enemy here will complicate your journey.

Continue across the beams while evading bats. Drop down to the next section and exit the area. You’ll come across a lift here; use it to get to the Shadow Keep Backgate site of grace.

Before leaving the room, turn to the right to find a statue of Marika. Perform the O Mother Gesture in front of it; this will allow you access to Scaduview.

Locating the Finger Ruins of Dheo

In the Finger Ruins of Dheo, defeat two Tree Sentinels. Move eastward to locate the Hinterland Bridge site of grace, where Marika can be found. Continue heading east until you spot Fingerstone Hill.

Ensure your Scadu level is at least 10 before attempting to enter this area.

You’ll be able to see the Finger Ruins of Dheo from this vantage point. Prepare yourself for the challenges that await.

Activate the Bell of Dheo

In the Finger Ruins of Dheo, you will encounter various Fingercreeper enemies, each posing a unique threat. However, the most significant danger comes from the Black Lampreys.

Before entering this area, you must converse with Count Ymir at the Cathedral of Manus Metyr and obtain the Hole-Laden Necklace from him; otherwise, you’ll be unable to ring the bell.

These foes launch pink homing projectiles that can ensnare players, allowing the Lampreys to execute devastating grab attacks that can eliminate players in a single strike. Continue advancing until you reach the center of the ruins.

Interact with the enormous fingers to sound the horn, progressing Ymir’s Quest and bringing you one step closer to reaching the Metyr, Mother of Fingers.
