      ​@@Ron_Jambo_I think it's because Metyr may be the god Placidusax is consort of. Since Farum Azula has some weird connections with gold and since Placidusax is explicitly stated to be an Elden Lord.
      Metyr was broken at one point, not the GW abandoning her. And The Nox also has that Fingerslayer Blade too. So they possibly worked together with Bayle, promising him to be the new lord. Using him as a distraction so they can wound Metyr

      I like that, but I always assumed she’s the Meteor the Elden Beast arrives on. My first thought was palm readings, and how they can tell one’s fate or past. Besides gestures are probably how we spoke or interacted before spoken words, (so if the Hands were around during the time of Dragons, maybe it’s meaning has to do with dexterity and having digits to make things).
      The Elden Ring (to me) is a Kabbalah Tree of Life, and the Ring dictates the laws of the universe, life and death etc. Then you have Gnosticism where the Demiurge (Elden Beast) creates corporeal life/the physical world (however Ghostics believe we must escape from said corporeal world to return to the pleroma and Sophia where our spirits truely belong). I always thought the hands stood for the mind, communication/speech, intelligence and civilization. Without the fingers, we couldn’t communicate with the Greater Will, whose Beast IS the Elden Ring. I think that, not unlike messenger angels, the Greater Will wanted to be known and proselytize so it sent Metyr, a Meteor, to aid in this effort.
      What good is the laws of the universe, when you cannot dictate those who live in it? What good is ruling over the structure of life, if you cannot interact with those within it? You grab a helping hand to help bridge the communication gap between god and men. Having said that, I love the idea of the hand in a pond of water visual for communication.

    I wonder if perhaps she isn't growing out new fingers so much as they are parasitising her. They seem to resemble maggots in a wound, some of them even lifting off skin, which could be why she is referred to as "broken". They're also pointing up towards the orb in her tail, which I see as her connection to the Greater Will.
    Perhaps they were trying to "usurp" her connection for some reason? It does sort of tie into what Ymir said about the "roots" or fingers themselves being corrupted from the start...

    Since Metyr was the first and from the Cinquedea item description we learn that five fingers is the sign of intelligence, I wonder if Metyr’s purpose was to give life intelligence after the Greater Will separated itself from the One Great and then the Elden Beast’s purpose was to establish order. Once those goals were accomplished, the Greater Will cut off communication.

    Metyr is literaly supposed to be the hand of god (the greater will), yet you can see it is cut off and is so twisted it barely looks like a hand anymore. How can such being guide and delegate to lesser beings? When Marika brandished the Elden ring and founded the golden order, it was corrupted from the very beginning, just as metyr.

    So the nox wounded metyr with the fingerslayer blade? Is that it? Did we finally know why the greater will cursed the nox to live under a false sky

      We don’t. The timeline is still very vague precisely when the Nox went underground and how long the Greater Will hasn’t kept contact with the lands between. To be fair, the Nox got a good deal because the Greater Will never fully obliterated and gave them their own eternal night which they wanted.

    I wonder if the Elden Beast is like her 'Radagon', and they were one being but the wound mentioned in her item description when she landed on the planet was actually her and her Elden Beast half being separated in the impact.

      Fingerprint Nostrum: A secret medicine of those who attempt to turn their human
      bodies into fingers. Ingesting causes something to wriggle within
      Crafted using;
      Finger Mimic: Light-pink mushroom resembling a wizened finger. Material used for crafting items. Exceedingly rare to find. Used to by those who wish to become fingers to induce hallucinations. They call these mushrooms the stillborn of the Two Fingers.
      Dewgem: Glows at night and blossoms mainly at the waterside. Said to have been used in the practice of sprite medicine long ago.
      Beast Horn: Horn suffused with spirituality. Material used for crafting items. Found by hunting horned beasts of the realm of shadow. The Crucible has a particularly strong influence on the beasts of the realm of shadow, causing many to grow horns despite the characteristics of their species.
      Pearlescent Scale: A glassy and glistening fragment of pearlescent hue. Material used for crafting items. Found by hunting lamprey. These retrograde scales are found embedded deep within the skin of lamprey.
      Nostrum: a medicine of secret composition recommended by its preparer but usually without scientific proof of its effectiveness
      In extended use, a pet scheme for accomplishing something
      Basically, he was taking mushrooms, mixing them with ingredients which impart some kind of spiritual essence connected with Metyr/Fingers, and this "medicine" was something he kept trying and failing to make (based on the dead Yuri event) until he eventually succeeded after we killed Metyr. Seemingly, us killing Metyr was the thing which allowed his "medicine" to work and allowed him to start birthing full fledged Finger Creepers.
      Fortunately, he decided we couldn't be allowed to live since we know that he has no capacity for communicating with the Greater Will. We kill him before he could take the place of Metyr as, I dunno, Pope of Fingers or whatever. The main "voice" of the Greater Will.

    As someone who loves space, having a quasar as an attack automatically makes Metyr an A tier boss. Seriously, you can't get any cooler than that. And the fact that her death animation is just being sucked into a black hole is something else
