Longfinger Kirk is a NPC in Dark Souls 3.

 

Longfinger Kirk Information

  • Killable.
  • Invades in Cathedral of the Deep, right as you reach the lower area with water and the giants.
  • Cannot be summoned.

 

Location

  • You can find Longfinger Kirk at Cathedral of the Deep as an Invader on the ground floor, between the two giants, if the player is in ember form. The Deacons of the Deep must still be alive for him to invade.
  • Corpse can be found in Rosarias Bedchamber, where you can recieve the Set of Thorns, after he is killed.

Combat Information

  • It's best to not underestimate him for he does hit very hard.
  • Rarely heals himself, unlike most NPC invaders.
  • Wields: Barbed Straight Sword (RH) and Spiked Shield (LH).
  • He will use his sword's skill, Stance, at times to try to break your guard so it's best to back away when he does this and strike at the end when he's open.
  • His sword has a bleed effect so enough successive strikes will cause the player to bleed and take additional damage.
  • His armor set causes damage, ableit a small amount, when coming into direct contact with him as he's rolling.
  • He can be lured into the previous room (where you encountered a Cathedral Knight wielding a Great Mace). This causes him to leash near the doorway. Using spells or bows makes this encounter trivial.

 

Dialogue

None.

 

Trivia

  • Longfinger Kirk is very similar to Knight Kirk from Dark Souls 1. They are both part of an invasion covenant, and share the same armor and name. (His name "Longfinger" might be referring to him being the Middle finger of Rosaria, which is the longest finger. Ringfinger Leonhard is the Ringfinger, so the short finger and index finger are not named. Possibly could be the player.)
  • Longfinger (or middle finger) can also be a metaphor for a popular insulting gesture. In some parts of the world, the expression "long fingered" has the same meaning as having sticky fingers.
  • It is quite possible that he takes here the same role as in DS I where he was invading others to collect Humanity for The Fair Lady, only here he collects embers or pale tongues for Rosaria, Mother of Rebirth. Even his armour set appears in room where his mistress dwells as in the first game.
  • He is believed to be of the examples brought by the Locust Preachers in the Ringed City, reffering to him as a human and not a grub(humanity being a big connection with the DLC and Dark Souls 1).

      He is not spawning, even when embered; even when the deacons aren't beaten yet. Is it true they won't spawn unless I'm online?

      • Anonymous

        I like how this NPC always jumps down the lift hole near the bonfire.

        There was not a single playthrough where he did not jump attack and fall to his death when I dont kill him in proper combat

          he never invaded me, even though he was embered. I think that some previous event should trigger his invasion

            This prickly prick is mad cause how many times I partied him in ds1, but I’ll still parry his ass even more.

              One, was a adept warrior of lacerating weaponry. He invaded the worlds of many, but they always succeed him. He dealt with the abyss and managed to become one of them, but he moved on to steal their tongues. Fear not the dark my friend, and let the feast begin.
              (This is a fan made sermon for the locust guy)

              • His armor set wont spawn at rosaria's bed room. I defeated him before slaughtering the deacons of the deep. I checked in rosaria's bedroom before and after the deacons boss fight. Help?

                  All NPC Phantoms that invade as Red/Purple Phantoms WILL invade in both Online and Offline mode, as long as you A: Are embered B: Have NOT killed the area boss. And C: WALK into their trigger zone and wait for a period (usually a couple to fifteen seconds).

                    Taking this guy on but forgetting to clear out the thralls is a big mistake. Kirk made sure to give me the long finger after I got smacked by 7 hatchets and a flamberge

                      "Ringfinger Leonhard is the Ringfinger, so the short finger and index finger are not named. Possibly could be the player.)", "Possibly could be the player" What about Creighton and Archdeacon Klimt, they could be the Short and Index Fingers, not in their name sure but what stops them from being those fingers?

                        I don‘t know if that’s of any relevance, but in German „Langfinger“ (=literally „Longfinger“, obviously) means something like „petty thief“.

                          Something funny with Kirk. We had a dual invasion. We killed him and then not even a second later he invaded a second time. Really surprised us

                            Why is he not spawning for me? I am kindled and i didn't even kill the boss. Do i have to play online or something?

                              So I have the sword and shield Kirk drops and I'm in Rosario's bed but there is no armor, and no I haven't beat the deacons. Any help on what I'm doing wrong please.

                                Sometimes Kirk decides he doesn't want to show up offline or online, when you got to NG+. Heysel is of the same mindset. Neither of them seem to have a particular reason behind it, though often times will happen if you re-start the game with Rosaria's covenant equipped after reaching max rank. At least that's the only similarily I've managed to point out in my attempts. Awfully nice of them, very inconvenient if you missed on their first appearance however.

                                  Kirk has a bit of a spiky personality but, if you get past his tough exterior, inside... inside is just more spikes. Okay, there's there's just tons of spikes. He hates you.

                                    Fun fact: if you have the "Ashes of Ariandel" DLC you can talk to Gael and enter the Painted World, this will cause Kirk to return home. This works as a fail-safe in case he either overwhelms you or if you feel that you aren't strong enough to take him on. He will invade again after re-entering the area. I do not think this works on players, as it didn't work with the Giant Trees in DS2.

                                      When Longfinger killed me I lost my souls, unrecoverable, and they weren't already on the ground. I think it was a bug but it still sucked.

                                        WTF!!! he just invaded me in roads of sacrifice/Crucifixion Woods

                                        definitely darkspirit long finger kirk - had the full armor set sheild and sword - was not a player def AI

                                        I was up near crystal sage entrance path and then my white soap stone went grey, then farmed a bit and headed back to bonfire. He came at me near the Crucifixion Woods bonfire.

                                        I even saved a clip to my xbox

                                        got to be a bug right?

                                        my setup: sl20, blue sentinels cov, crystal sage still alive, both npc near farron entrance still alive, i summoned hodrick and he died to area monsters

                                            Invaded a player as a finger of rosaria. despite this, kirk attacked me while there were no giant seeds activated. so i guess he attacks invaders. wonder if this is true for any other npc invaders

                                              Fun fact: The word finger is censored to other players. If you recreate a character with his exact name it will show up as Long****** Kirk to others.

                                                Comparing the trivia of yellowfinger who turns to a slug after you defeat him.
                                                Longfinger should be the one you get the red sign soapstone from and that would also explain how his armor is found there just like heysel

                                                  Don't kill the Giants, after you defeat the first mace knight be sure to be embered then head left then after you go out of the stairs head a little bit to the right, don't go to the field with the giants just head right, he will invade you Online or Offline doesn't matter, (will not invade if you already killed the deacons)

                                                  • He did not spawn, this time around. Which is kinda weird to me, because neither Heysel invaded me. No invasions at all. Yes, I'm following Yuria's and Sirris' questlines, ok, but with a precedent character I did so as well and he spawned. The only thing I made differently, this time, is that I killed the darkwraith in High Wall of Lothric after I unlocked the bonfire next to the Abysswatchers (the one near the couple of Darkwraith outside the boss room, where the Londor Pale Shade's summon sign is located). Could it be because of this, perhaps?

                                                      i killed the 1st giant up on the high path and had to use a bonfire afterwards before going down on the ground. not just that the giants loot gone missing but i didnt get invaded either.

                                                        Longfinger meaning middle finger most likely, describes your reaction to almost killing him then dying well

                                                            I can confirm he only spawns in online mode. I tried to kill him the last few days and he never showed, no matter which character or how many bosses I killed. I finally just connected my PC to the Internet over my phone just to try it out. My character started right in front of kirk, and he instantly spawned

                                                              I'm embered, haven't killed Deacons, have explored the entire area, and, as suggested, met Rosaria. Please help me. I've gone as far as I can without killing Deacons now, and every time I return, he never shows up. If it helps, this is NG+. I did offer pale tongues to Rosaria to further an NPC questline in the previous playthrough. I'm also playing offline to prevent other people invading, but I went to a previous area and was invaded immediately by an NPC. Thanks in advance.

                                                                He invaded in cathedral and I was out of estus, luckily I was able to kill him because I found a spot in the room before the stairs that lead to the giant room where he would just walk up and down the stairs occasionally attacking the air and I was able to shoot him with arrows when he walked through the doorway.

                                                                  • Anonymous

                                                                    • Anonymous
