Description

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇯🇵

Weapon of Okina, swordsman from the Land of Reeds. A cursed weapon that has felled countless men.

When Mohg, the Lord of Blood, first felt Okina's sword, and madness, upon his flesh, he had a proposal, to offer Okina the life of a demon, whose thirst would never go unsated.

葦の地の大剣客、「翁」の得物
数え切れぬ人を斬った呪刀

翁の剣を、狂気をその身で知ったとき
血の君主モーグは、提案したという
与えようぞ。渇くことのない修羅の生き様を

Acquisition

Loot: Mountaintops of the Giants

• Defeat Okina at the Church of Repose.

Notes

• The Unique Skill, Corpse Piler, is a unique version of Double Slash that has longer range and extra Bleed build-up.
• Although the Arcane scaling is lower than the Dexterity scaling, it is slightly advantageous to level up the former when using Rivers of Blood. Dexterity will only increase the Physical Attack Power, while Arcane will increase both the Physical and Fire Attack Power simultaneously, on top of increasing the Blood Loss build-up of the weapon.

Upgrading

• Rivers of Blood cannot be buffed by spells or any consumables.
• Rivers of Blood cannot have its Ash of War or Affinity changed.
