Finding the right and powerful item is an essential part of role-playing video games. But when it comes to a challenging game like Elden Ring, it is almost impossible to defeat enemies without having the right equipment and side items. The Fingerprint Stone Shield is one of the best items you can get in Elden Ring, so here is the guide on how to get it.
How to Get the Fingerprint Stone Shield in Elden Ring
The Fingerprint Stone Shield allows players to stand against the strongest foes and endure their attacks. You will gain high resistance to all damage types when using this shield. Like every other great item in Elden Ring, this great shield also comes with a cost.
The Fingerprint Stone Shield is in the map-less area of Subterranean Shunning-Grounds. The complex structure and tunnels of this place are an absolute nightmare. You will find yourself lost within the second, but if you find your way through all the obstacles, the game will reward you greatly, along with the Fingerprint Stone Shield.
First, you need to go to the Cathedral of the Forsaken, where you must defeat Mohg the Omen to progress. Then strike the candle-lit altar behind the boss to dispel an illusory wall that leads to a hidden passageway.
From the top wooden beam, go to the lowest rafter below. Then go to the right side and drop down onto the sarcophagus lid. Fall again, but this time jump before descending to the land on another cover in the northwestern direction. Then turn to the southeast and leap down onto another platform.
So the third and last jump to the northwest will lead into the corridor where the Greatshield is located. Bear in mind that you need momentum to make this jump. Going in this direction, you will see a corpse with the Inescapable Frenzy Incantation. Turn right and go into the area with a small tent-like structure. This item can be only acquired if an enemy mob destroyed the debris for the player. Then head right again and reach the end of the hallway to get the Fingerprint Stone Shield in Elden Ring.
Elden Ring is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
