However, as of now, users are having to deal with an altogether different challenge. Many of them have voiced their concern that they are unable to get the Rivers of Blood Katana as its associated NPC character isn’t spawning. For the unaware, you will have to head over to the Church of Repose,(which is located in the Mountain tops of the Giants). At that location, the Bloody Finger Okina should spawn which you need to defeat and hence get yourself rewarded with the Rivers of Blood Katana.
However, the major issue is that the Bloody Finger Okina is not even spawning in the said location in Elden Ring. As a result, users are kept waiting in an infinite loop just in case it gets spawned. But this wait always proves to be futile. For some, the issue is all the more infuriating, as the NPC character does spawn but upon killing him, they don’t get the Katana in return, So if you are also getting bugged with any of these two issues, then this guide will help you out. Follow along,
How to Fix Bloody Finger Okina not Spawning in Elden Ring
As of now, the only workaround that might help spell out some degree of success for you is to not kill the area boss (Fire Giant) first. If you end up killing the Fire Giant then there’s a high possibility of the bug making its presence felt and hence preventing the NPC from spawning. So first head over to Church of Repose, deal with Okina, get yourself rewarded with Katana, and then you may kill the area boss. Another query that many users have asked is their inability to kill Okina.
Well, one nifty workaround for that is to take him to the edge. Then you should jump off from the clip, Okina will follow you and he too will jump from the cliff. While you would end up dying but so shall Okina [you could check out this video for reference]. The second workaround is to use the Brass Shield with the “Carian Retaliation” skill. Then parry him around four-five times and he shall be killed and you will get the required item.
So this was all from this guide on how you could fix the issue of Bloody Finger Okina not Spawning in Elden Ring. While the methods discussed here aren’t the most efficient ones, they would at least get the job done. As far as the official stance on this matter is concerned, the developers don’t seem to be aware of this issue. Recently they rolled out the patch version 1.03 but this bug hasn’t been addressed. As and when it happens, we will update this guide accordingly. In the meantime, the aforementioned workarounds are your best bet.
