How to fight with Metyr, Mother of Fingers in Elden Ring

Deep in the scary Erdtree shadow lives a big baddie named Metyr, Mom of Fingers. She guards secrets you don’t want to mess with, but that’s what being tarnished is all about, right? You’re a brave adventurer who has conquered many dangers to get here. This guide will help you take on Metyr and continue your journey.

Metyr is a monstrous creature with a giant head that looks like a bunch of twisted fingers. Don’t let her creepy looks scare you! Focus on her attacks and learn how to dodge them. Remember, Tarnished, even the toughest enemies have weaknesses. You just have to find them!

Finding Metyr, Mother of Fingers

Metyr is deep in the Erdtree shadow, a hidden area you only reach after exploring a lot of the Lands Between. Look for giant, creepy fingers reaching for the sky—that’s your cue! Be ready; Metyr is a tough fight, and you’ll want to make sure you’re well-prepared before entering this hidden arena. Upgrading your weapons and armor as much as possible is a good idea. Stock up on healing flasks and crafting materials to make more flasks during the fight.

Gear Up to Win!

• Sharp Stuff: Metyr has tough skin, so bring strong weapons. Swords, axes, or katanas that hit hard will do the trick.
• Fire & Ice: Metyr seems to dislike fire and ice magic. If you have spells or weapon buffs that deal with these elements, bring them!
• Armor Up: Don’t wear pajamas! Strong armor helps you survive Metyr’s big hits. But remember, dodge-rolling is important too, so don’t be too slow.
• Healing Stuff: Stock up on healing flasks and crafting materials. Metyr hits hard, so be ready to heal often.
• Spirit Buddies (Maybe): If you like to call for help, some Spirit Ashes can distract Metyr during the fight.

Metyr’s Weak Spot: Target the Tiny Fingers!

Metyr, Mom of Fingers, might look like a giant, creepy mess, but don’t be fooled! She does have a weak spot you can exploit. It’s not her giant finger head (although a good hit there might stun her for a moment). Instead, focus your attacks on the smaller fingers scattered across her body.

These wriggly things can grab you and hurt you, but they’re also much easier to damage than the rest of her. Whenever you get a safe opening, whack away at these smaller fingers.

Step into the Ring: Round One

The fight starts! Metyr has two main parts, each with different attacks. Here’s what to watch out for in Round One:

• Laser Light Show: Metyr shoots lasers from her finger-head. Move sideways to dodge the laser!
• Head Smash: When Metyr lifts her head high, she’ll slam it down, making shockwaves. Run away or dodge to the side.
• Double Whammy: Metyr swipes with both arms one after another. Stay back or dodge backwards.
• Body Slam: Metyr might try to squish you with her whole body. Stay to the sides or behind her to avoid this attack

Round One Tips:

• Don’t Get Greedy: Don’t attack too much at once. Metyr punishes those who stand still. Dodge her attacks and only hit her when it’s safe.
• Learn Her Moves: Watch how Metyr moves. Each attack has a warning sign, like raising her head for a slam. Learn these signs to dodge well.
• Hit the Fingers: Metyr has smaller fingers on her body. These can grab you and hurt you. Watch out for them and attack them if they get close.

Round Two: Mom Gets Mad!

When Metyr gets half health, she enters Round Two. Here’s what’s new:

• Triple Laser: Metyr shoots three lasers in a row, sweeping across the area. Run far away or dodge through the gaps between the lasers.
• Crawly Crush: Metyr gets low and tries to squish you by crawling across the arena. Stay far away and run to avoid this attack.
• Faster and Meaner: Metyr attacks faster and moves more aggressively in Round Two. Be extra careful and dodge more often.

Round Two Tips:

• Stay Away: Metyr’s new attacks reach further. Keep your distance and focus on dodging.
• Hit and Run: Deal quick bursts of damage when you see an opening, then dodge away before she counters.
• Use Spirit Buddies (If Applicable): If you summoned a Spirit Ash, use this time to heal or attack Metyr from behind while they distract her.
