Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC introduces several unique boss weapons to the base game. One of the more interesting weapons, the Gazing Finger, is a reward for defeating an optional Remembrance boss. It's a powerful weapon, so here's how to build around it.
ELDEN RING Best staring finger build
The Gazing Finger is a powerful Colossal Weapon in Elden Ring that scales primarily with Strength, and secondarily scales with Intelligence and Faith. Thus, the best build for the Gazing Finger is a Strength build that uses heavy attacks and the weapon skill Kowtower's Resentment.
If your current build isn't a Strength build, it's best to use a Larval Tear to respec your character before starting.
You'll deal the most damage with heavy blows from the Gazing Finger, so focus on getting your Strength up to at least 40 first. Then focus on survivability by getting your Vigor up to 40 and Endurance up to 30 for a healthy amount of HP and Stamina. Invest some points in Intelligence and Faith for some more scaling, then go back to Strength.
