Sword Dance+Guardian Swordspear made this an easy no hit win. Super easy to range him, as he approaches Sword Dance closes the distance, staggers him don’t both with the follow up he’ll roll away and just do it again.

Rot breath when he spawns then climb up on the right wall (facing the door from the grace)

He's my favourite Bloody Finger!

shura

While I was fighting him one of the nearby murder birds came and picked me to death

This guy still fights like actual players more than rivers of blood players lmao

Got Phalanx up before he spawned and just spammed him with Stars of Ruin while trying to back away and he went down fast

I don't want to register to modify the wiki, but, in case someone else wants to add this piece of lore:

In the cave near the ice dragon, with the multiple spirit caller snails, the snails will summon a samurai named Okina. In that cave, you can find a corpse that drops a version of the samurai set. This suggests that Okina canonically dies in that cave, and his spirit is being continually resurrected by the snails.

I like using him as parrying practice against the rivers of blood skill

Tengu of ashina really fell off
