Just don’t forget about the second swipe.
Body Slam
Metyr will stand up upright beforedropping her whole body down.
Finger Summons
After a certain point,Metyr will tear at her stomach to birth Finger Creepers.
The burst will damage you while summoning the fingers.

Levitating Spin
In her second phase, Metyr will at times levitate with the power of the microcosm.
She floats quite high in the air for this attack beforespinning rapidly and chasing you down.
And there you have it.
This allows you tocreate two itemsfrom it:a Staff and a Colossal Weapon.
It doesn’t have the highest scaling, though it offers immense convenience.
As a result, itrequires both 25 Faith and 25 Intelligence to use.
The second is the Colossal Weapon, theGazing Finger.
It is, quite simply, the head-like finger of Metyr, detached and used as a weapon.
It’s a bit macabre.
