The Cherishing Fingers is a Finger sorcery in Elden Ring. It is one of the expansion's additions, found in the Land of Shadow.

Cherishing Fingers is a finger sorcery of Count Ymir, the aspiring mother of fingers, who wishes to believe that the dear fingers look after their mother. It raises a ring of hefty fingers around the caster that deals strike damage, staggers anything it hits and deflects every incoming projectile, whether magical or physical, for its duration. Charging widens the ring and turns the stagger into a knockback that throws enemies away. The fingers still erupt even if the caster is interrupted once the staff starts to lower, and the Maternal Staff and Finger Robe both raise its damage. It suits finger sorcery and Maternal Staff builds that want a defensive answer to archers, casters and crowding enemies.

Effect

---

Surrounds the caster with a ring of hefty fingers that deal strike damage, stagger nearby foes and deflect all incoming projectiles, magical or physical; charging enlarges the ring and knocks enemies away. Each cast costs 20 FP and 20 stamina and takes up one memory slot.

"A finger sorcery of Count Ymir, aspiring mother of fingers. Surrounds the caster with a mesh of hefty fingers that wards all manner of projectiles, whether magical or physical in nature, away from the caster. Charging enhances potency. The dear fingers look after their mother, or perhaps that is merely what the mother wishes to believe."
