How To Get The Nagakiba Katana In Elden Ring

The Nagakiba Katana is the weapon of choice for the NPC Bloody Finger Hunter Yura, who you can first encounter in Elden Ring‘s first area, Limgrave. The quickest way to get the weapon is to kill Yura, who will drop the sword upon his death. You can first find him under some rubble to the south of Agheel Lake. For those who don’t want to kill him in cold blood, you are also able to get the Nagakiba by completing Yura’s questline. The Nerd Stash has a full guide on how to complete Yura’s questline, linked here. The basics that you will need to know is to talk to Yura after he helps you battle Bloody Finger Nerijus north of Agheel Lake towards Murkwater Cave. You will next meet him at the Site of Grace called Academy Main Gate at the Academy of Raya Lucaria. You will find a summon sign to help him against an assassin. Once you do this, you will only have one location to visit before you get the Nagakiba Katana. The location is the Second Church of Marika in the Altus Plateau.

At the Second Church of Marika, you will find Yura dying on the ground and then will get invaded by an NPC named Eleonora. When Yura dies, you will be able to pillage his corpse to get the Nagakiba Katana. If you reach the Mountaintop of the Giants before doing this step at the Second Church of Marika, return to the first location where you met Yura, and you will be able to find the Nagakiba Katana in the location where he stood at.
