Rivers of Blood belongs to an invading enemy on the location above. Right at the entrance of a ruined church, you will spot an invader called Okina. In order to get his katana, you will need to kill him.

Hopefully, this is not a tough battle, but keep in mind that Okina has very fast attacks, which means you really need to be careful with your timing, especially when you let off your guard to attack him.

Once you manage to kill Okina, you will be rewarded by the Rivers of Blood katana. If reaching Okina's location seems confusing to you, make sure to pay a visit to this YouTube video!
