Elden Ring provides players with a plethora of challenges in the form of skilled enemies and grueling bosses. While these formidable foes stretch one's capabilities and determination, the greatest threat that players can encounter is each other. With multiplayer enabled, players can journey to the worlds of other Tarnished and challenge their respective hosts in what is known as an invasion. Should they succeed, players will earn bragging rights among other Tarnished and a rare item to aid them on their journey.

The competitive aspect that invasions bring to Elden Ring is invaluable, as it allows players to test their mettle against fellow Tarnished. However, players cannot invade others without using a Festering Bloody Finger. Being a consumable Multiplayer Item, players will burn through a Festering Bloody Finger with each invasion. Fortunately, an item known as the Bloody Finger can grant players limitless invasions. Thus, eliminating the costly effort of acquiring Festering Bloody Fingers. Here is how to get the Bloody Finger in Elden Ring.

Players must venture to Stormveil Castle, where the Demigod Godrick the Grafted resides. Defeating him is no easy feat, but it is very much possible so long as players remain determined.

In returning to the Roundtable Hold and speaking with the Two Fingers, players will meet the requirements needed to get the Bloody Finger.

White-Faced Varre will grant players an item called the Lord of Blood's Favor and ask them to taint it with the blood of a Maiden.

Once they arrive at the Four Belfries, players will notice four belfries as the name suggests, each at varying heights on the hill. However, players need only concern themselves with the two highest belfries. On the uppermost belfry, players will find an item known as an Imbued Sword Key, similar to the Stonesword Key, inside a chest. The second-highest belfry will have an Imp Statue that activates the waygate just next to it.

Players must use the Imbued Sword Key to activate the second-highest belfry's waygate, which will bring them to the Chapel of Anticipation. Here, players must defeat the first boss ever encountered in Elden Ring, the Grafted Scion. Vanquishing this quick and relentless foe is difficult but far more feasible than players' first encounter with it at the beginning of the game.

Upon defeating the Grafted Scion, players must continue past the bridge and head into the chapel. Inside, they will find the corpse of a long-dead Maiden slumped against the wall. Players must approach the body and interact with it, drenching the Lord of Blood's Favor with the Maiden's blood. With that, players can fast travel to a Site of Grace near the Rose Church and return to White-Faced Varre.

Presenting the bloodied Lord of Blood's Favor to White-Faced Varre will conclude the quest. After expressing his pride and satisfaction in the players' performance, White-Faced Varre will ask them to offer a finger.

Now, they can use this Multiplayer Item an infinite number of times to invade other players.
