However, Yura's questline can be quite long compared to a lot of other NPC questlines and will require you to unlock/reach the Altus Plateau, which is unofficially considered a mid-game area in Elden Ring . Once you encounter Yura at the Second Church of Marika in the Altus Plateau and talk to him, the Nagakiba is yours. To complete this questline in full, you'll need to meet with and help Yura out a number of times, so let's break down exactly what's involved in this questline below:
The Crossed-Tree Towershield is one of the better-looking Greatshields in Elden Ring Nightreign Ring , perfect for players who focus on the Fashion Souls aspect of the game. Nonetheless, the Crossed-Tree Towershield is a robust shield that can protect its wielder from Holy damage (66). But there's more to this Greatshield than the Holy Damage Negation. It also has 66 Fire Damage Negation, making it the ideal choice to use against The Fire Gia
Again, this isn’t exactly a necessity for this build, but certain tears can help compliment the overall strategy. The first is the Spiked Cracked Tear , which further enhances consecutive attacks while the physic is active. The other is the Cerulean Hidden Tear ; this one eliminates all FP consumption while active, so players can use it at the beginning of the battle and summon Black Knife Tiche Ashes for free. One could also probably get a few hits too, before it wears off. These won’t necessarily be the go-to choices for every fight, but they do at least consistently offer more attack power and allow for a summon that may or may not be impossible otherwise, depending on how many points one has in the Mind stat.
Once everything is ready, it’s time to go out and fight. What to use will come down to personal preference, but there are a couple of important things to keep in mind. The primary means of dealing damage with these weapons is their weapon arts, so one is going to spend the majority of their time in combat exposed. So, use careful timing when launching an art since it can be interrupted during the wind-up by most enemies and also mid-attack by enemies possessing a high stagger threshold. If one needs to go on the defensive, switch to the spear and hide behind a medium-size shield, if possible.
The Arbalest has a few aspects that some players might want to exploit. The first is that the Arbalest has relatively low Dexterity requirements . This allows more character builds to make use of this weapon as their preferred distance weapon. This weapon also reloads faster than one would expect from an oversized Heavy Cross
All four methods each have their own pros and cons, and it's up to the Tarnished to determine which serves their urgency and purpose the best. For the uninitiated, Bloody Finger Hunter Yura is an NPC in Elden Ring who plays a small part in one of the endings.
The Nagakiba Katana is a great weapon to dual-wield, especially alongside the Uchigatana. It's an absurdly long weapon overall, having more reach than most spears in the game, and it really doesn't take much effort to get. There's a reason this weapon is so popular, after all. In any case, here are the full expanded stats of this katana:
You can obtain the Nagakiba as soon as you're chucked out of the cave into The First Steps Limgrave . All you have to do is walk up north to the river that connects to Agheel Lake . Following this river a bit, you'll eventually come across a dungeon named Murkwater Cave. And, outside this cave, Bloody Finger Nerijus will invade you. From here you'll want to:
Crossbows need a little work in Elden Ring . They're certainly better than they were in the Dark Souls games , but they still need a little balancing. The deal with crossbows in games, traditionally, is they offer a trade-off to players; they are slower to reload but more accurate and damaging than bows. In Elden Ring , crossbows do quite a bit less damage than bows – even many light bows have higher damage rati
The other useful Spirit Ash is the Black Knife Tiche Ashes . Bosses have a difficult time hitting her, and her ranged attack drains health for a certain percentage. She can drain bosses for a stupid amount of damage if they leave her alone for too long. There are two main drawbacks to using her, though. The first is that she’s expensive to summon, requiring around 132 FP. The second is that she doesn’t draw aggro as often, so players will need to be more careful about avoiding hits. If she sounds useful, though, she can be obtained by defeating Alecto, Black Knife Ringleader in the Ringleader's Evergaol in Liurnia (accessed by progressing Ranni's questline ).
