Try Finger But Hole is a legendary phrase originating from the restricted messaging systems in FromSoftware titles like Dark Souls and Elden Ring. Because players are limited to a specific list of pre-defined words and templates, the community creatively combined 'Try finger' and 'but hole' to produce a crude, juvenile, yet enduring piece of gaming culture. Typically found as a glowing message on the ground behind statues, corpses, or unsuspecting NPCs, the phrase has become a universal shorthand for the Soulsborne community's sense of humor. It represents the players' ability to find levity and connection within the punishing and dark worlds created by Hidetaka Miyazaki.
