Bloody Finger Okina | Elden Ring Wiki

Took 15 seconds, no cheese. Godslayer's great sword weapon art stun locks him.

Submit

As a fellow Samurai. I dueled his ass for his weapon and mask.

Submit

So this guy is a Shura

Submit

I could care less about your rivers of blood. I came here to slaughter you for the mask. I need the drip Okina, and you don't have a say for it.

Submit

Highly suggest keeping this guy alive and using him to practice your parry timing against Corpse Piler [Rivers of Blood Ash of War]. Obviously connections will differ from player to player in actual PvP, but it still gives you a great general sense of timing, and allows you to try different shields, parry-based Ashes of War, and even learn weapon-based parry windows. The alternative would be getting your friend(s) to practice with you so there's mix ups and such; mine are lame though. He drops nothing of value [Rivers of Blood & Okina Mask], and if you decide you want either of these items he will always spawn / be available to you, as long as you're on patch v1.04 or later, so you're not missing out on anything.

Submit

I ended this guy with 4 Lion's Claw. He didn't even try and dodge.

Submit

I ran back to a fight between a troll and murder-bird close by, with Okina on my tail. There, I would hop, dodge and run between them, over and over again. Okina must've thought it was a fun looking game for he joined in; what a swell chap. He had one big over sight though: he never dodged!
"Okina, nooo!" I cried, while accidentally clicking on a celebratory gesture. The AoE attacks got my playful friend in the end...

Submit

Sword Dance+Guardian Swordspear made this an easy no hit win. Super easy to range him, as he approaches Sword Dance closes the distance, staggers him don’t both with the follow up he’ll roll away and just do it again.

Submit

Rot breath when he spawns then climb up on the right wall (facing the door from the grace)

Submit

He's my favourite Bloody Finger!

Submit

shura

Submit

While I was fighting him one of the nearby murder birds came and picked me to death

Submit

This guy still fights like actual players more than rivers of blood players lmao

Submit

Got Phalanx up before he spawned and just spammed him with Stars of Ruin while trying to back away and he went down fast

Submit

I don't want to register to modify the wiki, but, in case someone else wants to add this piece of lore:

In the cave near the ice dragon, with the multiple spirit caller snails, the snails will summon a samurai named Okina. In that cave, you can find a corpse that drops a version of the samurai set. This suggests that Okina canonically dies in that cave, and his spirit is being continually resurrected by the snails.

Submit

I like using him as parrying practice against the rivers of blood skill

Submit

Tengu of ashina really fell off

Submit

For some reason this guy invaded me at Caria Manor?? My co-op partner and me killed him but got no drops. Got invaded by Okina the Cursed unless someone was Rping as him and invading

Submit

If he can wield the mortal blade why dose he only die once? Yea okay miyazaki thought I would not notice?

Submit

Where was this annoying guy and his sword when I was fighting Radahn? Bro died like 5 times doing minimal damage but 3 shots me? Ok then.

Submit

I make him felt off the cliff. Easy win.

Submit

Hello everyone, please note that you will no longer be locked out of fighting this invader after dealing with the main boss of the area. If you were previously unable to fight this npc, just return to the spawn location and he will invade you.

Submit

After patch 1.04 this npc will spawn at the church of repose even after killing the fire giant.

Submit

Vyke, Okina, & Anastasia (snowfields) already invaded me after the latest patch.

Submit

Use a bow with rot/poison. If you wait to fire right when he starts an attack animation he'll flinch interrupting the attack and usually leap backwards. Sometimes he will try to followup with a quicker attack after being hit but you can hit him again if you're keen. Always have the arrow primed, he'll get uncomfortably close waiting for you to fire and roll but be patient and only fire when you see his attack animation begin.

Submit

1.04 fixed some invasions not happening after defeating the boss of the area in Liurnia. I went to test if they fixed this one aswell and yes, finally got invaded after beating Fire Giant, so any of you who didn't get invaded because of that before can try now.

Submit

Huh, he didn't spawn for me a week or so ago and now after the patch he spawned no problem. Not in NG+.

Submit

Patch 1.04 seems to have fixed the issue of not spawning if the Fire Giant has been defeated.
I reloaded the area post patch and he spawned in.

Submit

1.04 patch He finally spawns in game for ppl that had him bugged

Submit

After the update today I was invaded by Okina even though I defeated the Fire Giant just a heads up.

Submit

He will spawn if the Fire Giant is killed, at least in my game. I think something else affects it.

Submit

This NPC is will now invade the player even after the Fire Giant is killed with patch 1.04.

Submit

Since 1.04 he will spawn even after fire giant kill! Just got the sword now, where as he wouldn't spawn for me before!

Submit

Patch 1.04 fixed this, Okina spawns almost immediately after you go to Church of Repose (notice you cannot summon Torrent)

Submit

In 1.04 he now spawns after the Fire Giant is killed.

Submit

"Best way to beat [insert any enemy] is to [insert powerful magic spell]."

Submit

Oh, I killed the Fire Giant before killing Okina. Why is this a thing?

Submit

Since 1.04 Okina can spawn after killing the fire giant

Submit

He isn't spawning for me and I've never even seen the fire giant. The boss is not the cause of this bug. I read somewhere else that if you visit Farum Azula beforehand, he won't spawn. That is my new theory. Like everyone else, I'm mad.

Submit

Step 1: Let him live.
Step 2: Practice parrying the weapon art.
Step 3: Wreck RoB spammers.

Submit

This guy reads inputs like a mother****er.

Submit

He isn't spawning in my game... I haven't killed the the fire giant yet.
the only boss I've killed in the area is the one in Giants' Mountaintop Catacombs.

Submit

Not spawning has nothing to do with fire giant.

Submit

The plural of Samurai is Samurai

Submit

Everything people are saying about Inescapable Frenzy or rot simply did not play out that way for me. Couldn't catch him with Frenzy and he didn't stack rot at all. Swarm of Flies is where it's at.

Submit

That’s cringe Tarnished, and your setup is weak

Submit

For everyone that isn´t spawning and hasn´t killed the fire giant, it may be because of mods, the ones that mods the regulation.bin at least, I was playing with a moded regulation.bin that has my own edits, mostly added visual effects to some weapons, like permanent fire VFX effect for some weapons (not the buff, only the visual effect), faster loading times after being killed or no "ghost" effect for summons. I am not sure but most likely if something affects rivers of blood or other things related to Okina he will not spawn. I just used the original regulation.bin and he instantly spawned. BTW he isn´t that hard I guess, was using a keen Nagakiba at +23 with Unsheate ash of war with 45 dex, 40 vigor and everything else at 15 or less and he was kinda easy.

Submit

This has nothing to do with a strat or a cheese..but what is that short katana in his offhand?? It’s not in game afaik

Submit

Him not spawning after killing the fire gian is bullshit. How was I supposed to know that? Now I'm locked out of ROB until at least other 50 hours of gameplay? That's just bullshit >:(

Submit

One good face full of Rotten Breath and all you have to do is keep your distance and block/dodge when necessary until he falls.

Submit

You can't get him to summon if you've beaten the Fire giant?

Submit

so i belched scarlet rot dragon breath at him, ran away around the church as he chased me til he died. Cheese for cheese.

Submit

Hoarfrost Stomp and keep your distance

Submit

I don't get how he goes from a guy that helps you with Radahn to an intrusive cockroach over the span of Caelid and Mountain, Corruption perhaps?

Submit

he is stupidly easy to parry. it is ridiculous. 4 parries and this mother****er was dead. buckler shield hard counters this nuisance

Submit

If you are as sick of this weeb as I am, BOY DO I HAVE THE CHEESE FOR YOU! If you have Inescapable frenzy, just wait for that ass to spawn and like a second after you can lock on cast it and BOOM! FRY HIS **** BRAIN TO MUSH AND RELISH IN THE FACT THAT HE'S NOW 6 FEET UNDER! Enjoy.

Submit

Easiest way to beat this guy is to blast him with scarlet rot immediately as he spawns and then blocking/dodging his attacks until he dies from the DOTs. This guy enjoys long walks on the frozen beach and metric tons of bleed damage. Unless you are geared to negate bleed, you gonna have a bad time. His attacks are stupid fast.

Submit

If you are melee and find him difficult. Bring heavy shield and trusting sword/spear that can poke behind shield.
Then you can turtle cheese him easy, maybe not even need trusting weapon, because many of his attack will stagger himself when blocked.
Fat roll is fine because you don't need to roll. Bleed go though shields but stacks slowly and the damage is not big.

Submit

Try passing time until nightfall. Just spawned for me. Eleonora is dead on this playthrough and fire giant is still alive. Hope this helps

Submit

hey so I couldn't find this guy at the church after i killed the fire giant but i did find him in the spiritcaller cave, which is even worse the slugs down here summon him so if your not fast with them you might have to fight him several times after i cleared a room of slugs I found his gear lying

Submit

Should add the note that if you kill the Fire Gaint first, he doesn't spawn. So you'll have to wait to new game plus to get it.

Submit

I love the Souls games but this is NOT the game to be locking invasions after you defeat the area boss... Christ almighty. This game is too ****ing big to pull that bullshit.

Submit

He spawned once for me and I almost had him but a stupid giant bird attacked and killed me. Then he never respawned again.

Submit

Still bugged, not invading didn't kill Fire Giant WTF bro. Same with Vyke at the Church of Inhibition.

Submit

Makes no sense that he doesn’t spawn if you kill Fire Giant, considering that boss has NOTHING to do with this NPC. FromSoftware really didn’t test a lot of the quests/events in the game. Sucks for those that missed the sword, especially now that it’s going to get nerfed and they’re not going to get to try it when it was still good. They’re going to nerf this and ruin it.

Submit

Keep your distance or die. That weapon art he pulls off is lightning fast, deals massive damage and has got some range to it.

Submit

Yep, same as everyone below.. won't spawn post-fire giant...

Submit

I see people saying they can't get him to spawn, maybe its tied to killing elenora as part of Yura's quest. They are both bloody fingers

Submit

Yep, same as everyone below.. won't spawn post-fire giant...

Submit

All around quite easy, didn't dodge spells like other invader NPCs, and the giant crows seemed happy to toss him around a bit.

To compile what causes him not to invade; I joined the frenzied flame, did not kill the fire giant, and had found/purchased the wakizashi, which mentions him in the description.

Submit

The demon swordsman from the Land of Reeds...
in other words, the Shura of Ashina.

This is not just about fire giants being a lockout as I just went there with my new character without killing neither the fire giant nor the frost dragon and he didn't bother to show up on 1.0.3. This NPC invasion is either bugged or tied to a questline some of us are missing.

Submit

Will not spawn.

Submit

I'm so mad, wish I read this page before killing the boss.

Submit

End game is broken, trying to recap to defeat the end boss and discover that this npc wont respawn lmao

Submit

I litterally went through the all map, doing almost a 100% exploration (at least as much as the maps know). I had a map so I knew he was there, I just thought I was supposed to get to the Giant and then come back from the other chain. Well, one of the only damn secret I miss is one of the strongest Katana : my main weapon style since the begining of DS... I hope they'll fix that, can't be a willing thing to lock you out of it so late in the game. 150h of run exploring every single things on the map, to loose that by wining a fight on the 2nd try is lame...

Submit

So goddamn annoyed that I can't spawn him after killing Fire Giant

Submit

Will NOT spawn post area boss

Submit

really dumb as hell that he stops spawning if you kill the fire giant...

Submit

I went directly to the church to kill okina, he dodnt spawn. I havent killed the fire giant, and i tried before and after killing the ice dragon. Im convinced its completely bugged.

Submit

somehow he remind me of Isshin Ashina from Sekiro

Submit

He invades even if you join frenzy of flame right?

Submit

He wont spawn if you've killed the Fire Giant already

Submit

This ****er’s ash of war is so annoying

Submit

Lure him down the hill towards the giant crow and snow giant that are fighting. Run back and forth through their battle and let the crow and giant stomp him to death. Heal as necessary while threading back and forth.

Submit

got it on first playthrough but currently on ng+ and hes not invading, maybe fire giant kill is a lockout?

Submit

Extremely easy with the Carian Phalanx sorcery. He never attempted to dodge them so after a few casts he died without ever hitting me. Just gotta keep a good distance.

Submit

Or you can bait him to edge of the cliff and use the Rejection spell to push him off

Submit

Of course the edgy enemy gets nerfed when he's fighting on your side lol.. (Radahn summon)

Submit

He didn't invade me

Submit

He totally destroyed me a few times with me trying defensive tactics with a Lord Sworn Great Sword+18 and a Ant Head greatshield.

After reading this page I switched to 2 handing the sword and applied some Rot grease to it, then beat him first time with that style, timing heavy hit as he runs in with quick slash follow ups, just roll back to dodge him. Don't need to switch weapons for this guy, just use your main that you're best with and apply rot or poison, was about to try levelling a fast weapon before just going at him again with my slow 2 hander I'd been using all along.

Note, I ran through first time to the grace point and he still spawned for me and dropped all his items using katana.

Submit

He's suspectible to poison and rot. Killed him with +17 Estoc with rot coating. He died from rot after a bit waiting game at the end.

Submit

Won’t spawn for me even though I haven’t killed the giant… does the dragon can’t as the “area boss”?

Submit

parrying npc invaders in this game is a joke, especially this guy. if hes 1 hit off of being dead he'll spam his dastard weapon art even on my deceased body

Submit

He drops 11155 runes first time around

Submit

If you're having problems killing this guy, switch to a faster weapon, he gets staggered easily, but it's hard to catch or trade blows with him while using a greatsword since he deals insane damage (probably because scaling on his weapon isn't broken lol)

Submit

Very mad that he doesn't spawn after you kill the Fire Giant. Got all excited and can't even get the weapon. Hopefully this will be fixed in a future update....
