Obtaining the Nagakiba can be a very simple or a very long process, depending on how clueless you are. owns it Yuria, the Finger Hunter and you can get it quickly by killing its carrier, but you will be deprived of a quest thread. You can find Yuria south of Lake Agheel in Necrolimbo.
If you progress through the quests and decide to help Yuria, which involves facing a bloody finger at the entrance to the Academy, you’ll find him in the Second Church of Marikalocated on the Altus plateau.
However, it may happen that you are clueless like me and you miss this mission. I completed the game and eliminated the character in question (for x reasons that are spoilers) and when I went to the Second Church of Márika the katana was not there. in my search, Yuria appeared to me as an invasion in said church, but when he died he did not drop his weapon.
I went to all the locations I could remember fighting in invasions and he finally showed up at the one I’m pointing out below. You will find it in the river, in the dark, under the stone structure, next to a pile of corpses. He couldn’t explain why.
rivers of blood

The jewel in the crown of katanas. the sword he carries Malenia, Sword of Miquellaone of the Hardest Elden Ring bosses and that more headaches are giving to those who dare to confront her. Her skill is the same as she will kill you dozens of times during the matchup, “Waterfowl Dance”.
