The Glintstone Nail is a Finger sorcery in Elden Ring. It is part of the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.
Glintstone Nail is a glintstone sorcery of Count Ymir, High Priest, one of the finger sorceries said to have been found in a hallowed ruin, which he dismisses as mere child's play and an echo of a greater truth. It flings a slow magic nail that crumbles in flight but tracks targets exceptionally well, reaching medium to long range and hitting noticeably harder than Glintstone Pebble. Its slow travel makes it useful for combos, timing the nail to catch a target right after a dodge roll. Charging raises its damage and lets the Godfrey Icon boost it, and the Maternal Staff and Finger Robe add more. It suits finger sorcery builds and anyone fighting agile or distant targets.
Effect
Flings a slow magic nail with very strong tracking that crumbles in flight; it can be cast repeatedly, and charging increases damage. Each cast costs 10 FP and 21 stamina and takes up one memory slot.
