Unlocking and Using the Finger Seal in Elden Ring

The Finger Seal is categorized as a Sacred Seal in Elden Ring, primarily utilized for casting Incantations based on your Faith level. This particular seal is not only readily accessible but also stands out as one of the top choices for players in the early stages of the game.

This guide will walk you through the process of acquiring a Finger Seal and provide tips on how to enhance it for optimal use.

Where to Find the Finger Seal

You can obtain the Finger Seal through two main options: by selecting either the Prophet or Confessor as your starting class, as both classes come equipped with the Finger Seal due to their reliance on the Faith stat for incantation casting.

If you happen to pick a different starting class, don’t worry! You can still acquire the Finger Seal by visiting the Twin Maiden Husks located at the Roundtable Hold. They offer the seal for 800 Runes.

To reach the Roundtable Hold, you’ll need to progress a bit in the story and receive Torrent from Melina. Make your way toward Stormveil Castle, and Melina will prompt you to visit the Roundtable Hold. Once there, head past Sir Gideon Ofnir’s room to find the Twin Maiden Husks, where you can purchase the Finger Seal for 800 Runes.

Finger Seal Stats and Requirements

The Finger Seal requires 4 Strength and 10 Faith to effectively cast incantations. As a faith-based weapon, its performance significantly scales with the Faith stat. You can upgrade it using Smithing Stones up to a maximum of level 25.

At its base level, with minimal faith investment, the Finger Seal delivers 108 damage. Once upgraded to level 25, with 80 Faith, the damage output of incantations increases to 254. Its scaling with Faith achieves an S rating starting from level 14.

Keep in mind that the Finger Seal cannot be infused with any Ash of War, nor does it possess unique skills. To maximize its potential, consider pairing it with the Two Fingers Heirloom talisman. Upgrading the Finger Seal is highly recommended, especially since it serves as the best sacred seal in the early parts of Elden Ring, until you discover a superior option.
