One of the best daggers that players can get in Elden Ring is the Reduvia, particularly for those who are looking to create bleed-build. Like many daggers, the Reduvia primarily scales its damage with the Dexterity stat, but this particular weapon also scales with the Strength and Arcane stats as well. Additionally, it’s a weapon that players can get relatively early in Elden Ring, making it the perfect option for players who plan to make a stealthy bleed-build character as soon as they set foot in the Lands Between.
In order to use Reduvia, players must first meet a minimum of 5 Strength, 13 Dexterity, and 13 Arcane. Given the type of weapon and the base stats needed before it can be used, the Reduvia is best suited for Bandit builds in Elden Ring, as the class begins with its stats above the requirements. While the dagger does deal a considerable amount of damage and has the ability to cause Hemorrhaging with its Reduvia Blood Blade skill, its major drawback is that it has limited range.
The Reduvia dagger is a reward for defeating Bloody Finger Nerijuss, an NPC who is hostile at all times as they eagerly hunt other Tarnished. Bloody Finger Nerijuss is essentially a foreshadow of what the Reduvia dagger can do in the hands of Tarnished players, as the NPC’s defining features include rapid attacks with dual daggers that inflict Bleed. Although this fight can be triggered shortly after arriving in the Lands Between, it’s not nearly as difficult as the Grated Scion tutorial boss fight in Elden Ring.
Bloody Finger Nerius is located along the ravine leading northeast from Agheel Lake toward Murkwater Catacombs. After getting Torrent, head east from the Gatefront Ruins, and Bloody Finger Nerius will be around that location. A prompt will appear indicating that the NPC Tarnished is invading, but shortly afterward another NPC named Bloody Finger Hunter Yura will automatically be summoned to assist players during the fight. Bloody Finger Nerius can be difficult to take down solo during the beginning of Elden Ring, so it’s best for players to avoid their attacks until Yura arrives.
Once Nerius has been defeated, players will earn Reduvia along with Furlcalling Finger Remedy and 316 Runes. Unfortunately, Reduvia cannot be infused with any Ashes of War in Elden Ring, but its unique Reduvia Blood Blade skill more than makes up for it. By attacking with the dagger, its never-drying bloodstains will transform into airborne blood blades that can be fired in rapid succession to cause hemorrhaging.
Elden Ring is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.
