Hyetta is a blind woman the Tarnished may meet on the road, called Lightseeker Hyetta, and later Finger Maiden Hyetta. She eats the Shabriri Grapes she is handed, which the item text calls a yellowing, oozing eyeball of the infirm, not unlike a large, overly-ripe grape, and which she tastes as 'delectably tender and sweet, yet searing'. What each grape gives her is a distant light she can feel in the back of her eyes. When she grasps whose eyes she has been eating she retches, then reasons past it: the light is far and frail, too faint for the naked eye, but with everyone's eyes together it appears. 'I'm certain now. I will be a Finger Maiden.' The eye that carries her to the source of that light is the Fingerprint Grape, the eyeball of the knight Vyke, given to the blind maiden so she may become a Finger Maiden; the game names a Finger Maiden of Vyke's own, apart from her.

Her road ends beneath Leyndell, where a merchant's note puts the lord of the frenzied at the very bottom. She sends the Tarnished to the door ahead, after divesting themselves of their possessions, sure that the Three Fingers will welcome them. When they return carrying the flame, she asks them to rest a hand upon her and burn her with it, to make her their maiden, then hands back the words she has touched as an instruction: 'Become their lord. Take their torment, despair. Their affliction. Every sin, every curse.' And melt it all away. She is alive when she says it, and the game does not write what becomes of her if the Tarnished turns back. Melina speaks for the other side: their accord ends there, and should the Tarnished rise as the Lord of Chaos, she will kill them, as sure as night follows day.

Item / MiscShabriri Grape

A yellowing, oozing eyeball of the infirm. The surface is shriveled, and the inside is squishy, not unlike a large, overly-ripe grape. Give to the blind maiden to guide her to the distant light.

Item / MiscMending Rune of the Fell Curse

Loathsome rune gestated by the Dung Eater. Used to restore the fractured Elden Ring when brandished by the Elden Lord. The reviled curse will last eternally, and the world's children, grandchildren, and every generation hence, will be its pustules. If Order is defiled entirely, defilement is defilement no more, and for every curse, a cursed blessing.
