The Elden Ring Rivers of Blood is a unique katana that requires 12 Strength, 18 Dexterity, and 20 Arcane. It scales best with Dexterity, making it one of the most powerful Dex weapons in the entire game. Due to its Arcane requirement, only specific builds can make use of this weapon, but with the right stats it's immensely powerful. To upgrade the Elden Ring Rivers of Blood, you'll need Somber Smithing Stones, along with an Ancient Dragon Somber Smithing Stone to max it out.

The Rivers of Blood is a late-game weapon and is located in one of the last major areas in Elden Ring. If you aren't done with Leyndell, the Capital City, then be warned that there will be area and boss fight spoilers in this article.

Elden Ring Rivers of Blood location

If you've already killed the Fire Giant, Bloody Finger Okina won't invade so you won't be able to get the Rivers of Blood katana in your current playthrough.

If you haven't, venture into the Mountaintops of the Giants to get this katana. When you approach the Church of Repose, far south of Castle Sol, you're invaded by the NPC, Bloody Finger Okina.

Unsurprisingly, he wields the Rivers of Blood katana and deals heavy bleed damage if he hits you, so your best bet is to keep him at a distance. Once you've defeated the invader, you're rewarded with the Rivers of Blood katana and the Okina Mask.

That's all for our walkthrough on how to find the Elden Ring Rivers of Blood, and now you should be able to locate Bloody Finger Okina and earn the powerful katana.
