Ymir, Mother of Fingers

Count Ymir sits on a throne in the Cathedral of Manus Metyr on the eastern Scadu Altus. By night he visits the graveyard next door, where his son Yuri lies. He was once a master of glintstone sorcery who served the Carian royal family and taught Rellana, Twin Moon Knight, before he turned away from the moons in search of deeper truths about the stars.

He gives you a map to a hallowed ruin and a strange quest about fate and the stars. That quest leads to Metyr, Mother of Fingers, and later in his story Ymir himself can be fought as Ymir, Mother of Fingers. He is guarded by his loyal Swordhands of Night, Jolán and her sister Anna.

How to beat it

Ymir is a sorcerer through and through. Close the distance quickly, because he is far more dangerous at range, and keep pressure on him between his casts.

Lore

Ymir became a Finger-Weaver by taking the bean-shaped Fingerprint Nostrum, and he sometimes cradles a baby Fingercreeper. His teaching to his students was that a great sorcerer is someone who adores the stars.
