Bloody Finger Okina | Elden Ring Wiki

For some reason if I jumped while he ran toward me I could always land a greatsword heavy jump attack before he even tried to swing at me.
Since this triggers a light stagger I could get some more distance to get him to run straight at me again and again until he died.

Submit

Rivers of Blood & Okina Mask pretty usefull loot by this one :P

Submit

Like a lot of NPC invaders, I find him quite easy to parry.

Submit

Okina is the only summon I trust to assist in defeating Starscourge Radahn.

Submit

Okina was leveling dex and in doing so he achieved enlightenment and his arcane grew as well.

Honestly the 1st time I fought him it was terrifying. Never expected so much blood loss soo quickly

Submit

I don't do much pvp and I've never come across anyone using ROB when I have invaded other players. But I just fought this ass hat for the first time without being over-levelled, it quickly became apparent why the corpse piler gets soooo much hate. F**king horrible weapon art to get hit with.

Submit

+9 bloodhound fang made light work of him

Submit

I just used rot breath on him from a distance

Submit

Hesitation is defeat

Submit

Thank goodness he forgot the Glock this time.

Submit

F this guy. I hate that damn aow and people who use it, I dislike you.

Anyway. Instead of learning to parry I got irritated at having him down to 10% health just to get 3 shoted, I came back with my Ballista and Napalm rounds. Get bent, thanks for the scalp.

Submit

Used Lion greatbow. He has no idea how to dodge rain of arrows. simply stand on top of church ruins and make sure that he is near you.

Submit

What are his status effects stats? I wanna try to Death Blight it

Submit

If he becomes invincible after not dropping the gear, lure him to the edge and make him fall off. It was the only way I could get the gear and beat him

Submit

sekiro if he had an op weapon

Submit

I actually switched to a bloody samurai build on my lightning swordsman character. I basically pictured it like he got possessed by Okina’s sword and went mad. Fun as ****.

It makes me wonder what’s happening in the Land of Reeds that’s making people go crazy and become obsessed with spilling blood.

Submit

musashi miyamoto but in elden ring

Submit

Bullied by AotC Tail

Submit

He didn't spawn for me, I beat mogh and the veteran in the castle, rested at the mid area grace of consecrated snow fields but did not beat fire giant :(

Submit

I tried to fight this guy at level 30 with an Eclipse Shotel because i thought deathblight would make up for my low damage. I have 250 ar with my buffs active, but i ended up killing hiw with just my damage without ever proccing deathblight

Submit

i wish you could summon him in for just 1 more boss. any boss really. it would just be cool to see him in action in a standard boss arena on a more mobile boss is all.

Submit

He also seems to be immune to deathblight

Submit

Okina has died.

Submit

While you were all busy chasing maidens, he studied the blade.

Submit

I have a theory that Okina and Yura are rivals

Basically, Okina abducted Eleonora while she was a noble knight and he trained her in the ways of the bloody finger

This is why Eleonora's Poleblade looks so similar to Rivers of Blood.

I also theorize that Eleonora is Yura's daughter.

Submit

The Finger evolved from being tried in but holes to this

Submit

just defeated this guy on my way to the Fire Giant, and to unlock that church so i could get a Flask upgrade, and istg, when i found out that he not only wields, but also drops the RoB, i simply could not hold my laugh, its almost too ironic, i also noticed that this guy's battle style is the PERFECT embodiment of a RoB user, the way he dodges half of your attacks, and always counter-attacks with either the weapon art or a running L1 is simply hilarious.

Submit

aka john rivers of blood

Submit

I was invaded and had him to a sliver of health. He used Seppuku and killed himself, I had to face him again.

Submit

I just got a random message during the Radahn fights saying that this “Okina has died.” I’ve never been to the Mountaintop of the Giants, fyi.

Submit

well he attacked me why i was at the grace site and i killed him well didn't drop anything and now he respawn inevasible and i cant damage him

Submit

on 32 vigor it one shots
who the hell gave that NPC that much damage

Submit

They managed to have two most cringe-worthy item dropped by one NPC. And people said perfection doesn't exist.

Submit

He can be summoned in radahns festival if you defeat him

Submit

least maidenless Rivers of Blood user.

Submit

This guy is the ultimate check to see if you can parry

Submit

Borderline cancer.

Submit

He probably is Miyamoto Musashi or at least inspired by him. His description, a katana in the right and a wakizashi in the left hand, legacy etc everything fits perfect with musashi.

Submit

Dude invaded me in spiritcaller cave but didn't drop anything

Submit

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.
