What is The Rivers of Blood Katana in Elden Ring?
The Rivers of Blood is a very powerful Katana in Elden Ring. Not only does it cause Blood Loss buildup, but it also has a powerful weapon skill, Corpse Piler.
Corpse Piler forms a blade of cursed blood for repeated, interweaving, successive attacks and does loads of damage, costing only 17 Focus Points.

Additionally, the Rivers of Blood requires 12 Strength, 18 Dexterity, and 20 Arcane, and its damage scales with these attributes too. Therefore, you’ll definitely want to get some Somber Smithing Stones to upgrade this unique weapon.
What’s more, it is pretty easy to get once you make some progress into the game.
