Learn how to defeat the Invader Bloody Finger Nerijus in Elden Ring's Limgrave. Discover his attacks, weaknesses, and effective strategies with Yura's help.
Stats / Weaknesses:
- Attacks: Reduvia Blood Blade (ranged, causes Hemorrhage buildup), Three-hit Combo (melee).
- Weaknesses: Can be staggered, can be interrupted when healing.
- Resistances: Not specified.
- NPC Aid: Yura will assist you in this fight.
- Cannot use: Spirit Ashes.
Phases:
- Phase 1: Nerijus Alone
Nerijus will invade as you approach Murkwater Cave. He starts at a distance. Use this time to prepare or lure him around the stream. Yura will join the fight after a few of your attacks or after a short delay. Focus on dodging his Reduvia Blood Blade and only attack after the third slash. Be mindful of your stamina and Hemorrhage buildup; don't block more than two waves of his Blood Blade. Magic users should maintain distance and use ranged spells. - Phase 2: Nerijus with Yura
Once Yura arrives, he can draw Nerijus's attention and stagger him. Let Yura tank some hits while you attack. Keep an eye on Nerijus's HP; he can use a Flask to heal himself once. Stay close enough to interrupt his healing animation. He can only heal once successfully; the second attempt will fail.
Strategy:
- Positioning: If you're not confident, lure Nerijus around the stream near Murkwater Cave until Yura arrives.
- Attack Windows: Dodge Nerijus's Reduvia Blood Blade and close in for a few hits after the third slash.
- Hemorrhage Management: Avoid blocking more than two waves of Reduvia Blood Blade to prevent your Hemorrhage gauge from filling. If it's high, back away to let it decrease.
- Magic Users: Backpedal and use ranged magic to keep damage up as Nerijus will try to close the distance.
- Leverage Yura: Once Yura joins, let him take aggro and stagger Nerijus. This is a prime opportunity to attack.
- Interrupt Healing: Stay close to Nerijus when his HP is low to interrupt his healing animation.
