Bloody Finger Nerijus [Boss Fight Guide]

You will encounter Nerius's Bloodfinger as soon as you enter Murkwater Cave in Limgrave. He is an NPC Invader in Elden Ring and will immediately start attacking you. Defeating him will be almost impossible as you will only have access to basic armor and weapons at the start. Fortunately, Yura the Blood Finger Hunter will help you in this battle.

After entering the cave, drag Nerius to the bridge nearby. On the way you will meet a giant dragonfly. Quickly eliminate him and continue towards the bridge. Stop at least a few hundred meters before the bridge. There will be several skeletons below him, so keep enough distance. If they start attacking you too, then all hell will break loose and you will inevitably die.


As soon as you stop near the bridge, Nerius will catch up to you and start hitting you. Try to dodge and roll away from Nerius' attacks. However, don't get too far or he will use his ranged attacks which will cause bleeding. He will also have a Flask of Crimson Tears which will allow him to regenerate health during battle. If possible, bring a few of your own flasks, as this will make the fight easier. Just hold off Nerius until you get the message - "Blood Hunter Summoned for Yuru's Fingers".

As soon as Yura arrives, he will immediately start attacking Nerius and take the focus away from you. Yura will act as a tank in this battle as he will also absorb the bulk of Nerius' attacks. Now you have a pretty simple job. Start attacking Nerius with ranged attacks. This will ensure you keep your distance and reduce the chance of any damage you take. Don't let him use Crimson Tears as this will unnecessarily drag out the fight for too long. If you're up for it, move closer and sling your weapon at Nerius. While this will end the fight faster, it is quite risky as you will be more prone to his attacks.
