You, please, I can read them. Your fingers, please, your fingers... |

Finger Reader Crones are NPCs who appear as elderly shriveled women found sitting on chairs across the Lands Between. Whenever the Tarnished comes across one them, they become overly excited and beg to see their fingers, in order to read their future. They have the gift of foresight, telling vague and cryptic clues, usually about the area they reside in or a quest yet to be undertaken.
Finger Readers used to translate what the Two Fingers say, speaking on their behalf.[1] As such they were said to live life eternal,[1][2] however, many dead Finger Reader Crones can be found between the Erdtree Sanctuary and Queen's Bedchamber in Leyndell, Royal Capital, presumably having died of unnatural causes.
The ones still alive may have served their Fingers at the Divine Towers, but since they are all dead, the crones have lost their purpose, which is why they desperately wish to read someone's fingers.
The only named one is Enia, found in the Roundtable Hold, and she is the only one who is still interpreting the words of her Two Fingers.

| Collapsed Bridge, Stormhill | You, please, I can read them.
Your fingers, please, your fingers... [Show hands] Oh, bless you. Oh..ohh! Head to the foundation of gold, Tarnished... Traverse Raya Lucaria; 'Glintstone Eventide'... ...and reunite the half crescents, at the Grand Lift. Oh, but the bridge is collapsed, and cannot be crossed. Only, why should that matter! Stormveil Castle still stands tall! |
| Raya Lucaria Academy Bidge, | You, please I can read them.
Your fingers, please, your fingers... [Show Hands] Oh, bless you! Oh..ohh! Miquella's favour can be yours. Slaughter, slaughter, slaughter... The all-hearing slaughtered, but alas, it was for naught. But all you need do, is snatch it from the big pot. ... Pity the poor, poor fool! |
| East Raya Lucaria Gate, |
Before finding Dectus Medallion (Left) and Dectus Medallion (Right) You, please, I can read them. Your fingers, please, your fingers... [Show hands] What a pity it is, to be without the right. All you can do is stand, at a loss. Without even the half crescents that wish to be whole. Before the unmoving, unfeeling Grand Lift ahead. ... Or, are you planning to throw yourself to the waters? To find the coward's passage, through the dim cavern?
After finding Dectus Medallion (Left) and Dectus Medallion (Right) You, please, I can read them. Your fingers, please, your fingers... [Show hands] Oh, bless you... Bless you... ... You. The one who holds both half crescents. Take the path to the Grand Lift ahead. For you...are the one who will be Lord. ... Bear witness, one and all! The Lord is returned! The Elden Lord is come again! |
| Smoldering Wall, | You, please, I can read them.
Your fingers, please, your fingers... [Show hands] Oh, bless you... Oh..ohh! ... ...Are you one for festivals? Or flowers? To the South, a grand festival to make the stars turn. To the East, the hardened bud of a flower to be. But dare you enter? Into the heart of the scarlet rot? Ah...ahhh... |
| Forest-Spanning Greatbridge, | You, please, I can read them.
Your fingers, please, your fingers... [Show hands] Oh, bless you... Oh..ohh! ... To the east... ruins of gold. To the west… the serpent's sacrilege. Wherever the path leads, so shall you follow. Wherever the path leads, only more sorrow. Tis a curse! A curse! The curse of Queen Marika! Ah...ahh... Ha...ha... |
| Capital Outskirts, | You, please, I can read them.
Your fingers, please, your fingers... [Show hands] The Fingers I served once prophesied... A Tarnished would one day become Elden Lord and restore the Golden Order. ... Surely you see it, too? The gold that enshrouds the heavens. The great tree which begets the pillars of light. O Tarnished, hasten to the foot of the tree. ... And whatever you might face... The Fingers will surely guide you... |
| Grand Lift of Rold, | You, please. I can read them.
Your fingers, please, your fingers. [Show hands] Turn back. Ahead lies the Land of the Giants' Flame. And the way forth is forbidden. ... Hear me. The burning of the Erdtree is the first cardinal sin. Doing so will unbind Destined Death, and slay the world itself. ... Who would dare put you up to such a task? Most certainly not the Fingers! |
| Deeproot Depths | (moaning) "Ohh... Oh, Lord Godwyn...
Such cruelty, such humiliation... My poor, sweet lordling should have died a true death. As the first of the demigods to die. As a martyr to Destined Death. But why must it yet bring such disgrace? A scion of the golden bough, sentenced to live in Death... How could such a thing come to be..." |
| When attacked | The crone will say any one of these lines before disappearing:

Trivia
- One of them was said to serve as a wet nurse to royalty, presumably the one in Deeproot Depths lamenting the fate of Godwyn, as she is also the only finger reader who does not specifically ask to read fingers. Their voice actress has also been credited as Wet Nurse. Link
