Bloody Finger Hunter Yura is one of the many non-player characters that you will run into in Elden Ring who will give you a side quest to complete. In this section of our guide to the Elden Ring, you will find specific information regarding where to find him, how to begin his questline, and the repercussions of any decisions you make along the way.
Bloody Finger Hunter Yura in Limgrave
You have the option of meeting Bloody Finger Hunter Yura in either of two different locations when you set out to complete his quest for the first time. It makes no difference which one you pick, but depending on the path you take, you might be given slightly different dialogue options to pick from.
At the Seaside Ruins
The Site of Grace is located in the Seaside Ruins, which are located to the south of the Dragon-Burnt Ruins. From here, head due east from the Site of Grace. You can find Yura tucked away in a cave that was formed by the collapse of an old building. During this conversation, he will introduce himself and caution you against challenging the dragon that resides in the aforementioned Dragon-Burnt Ruins.
At this point, it is only natural for you to make plans to travel to the north and come back to these ruins to challenge the Flying Dragon Agheel. You will be given a Dragon Heart key item after you have successfully defeated the pitch boss. Deliver this item to Yura in the Coastal Ruins so that you can advance his questline and learn more about the Church of Dragon Communion. The Church of Dragon Communion can be found on an island southwest of Limgrave and can be reached through the Coastal Cave dungeon.
Near Murkwater Cave
You also have the choice of travelling south along the river that flows into Agheel’s lake from the north in order to meet up with Yura for the first time. You will come under attack from the non-player character Bloody Finger Nerijus as you progress further up this waterway. After you have engaged him in combat for a while, you will receive a notification that Bloody Finger Hunter Yura has arrived to assist you in the fight. After defeating Nerijus, proceed further north along this river until you find Yura hiding behind a rocky outcrop on the river’s right bank. He will begin by introducing himself and going over the basic premise behind the Bloody Fingers.
Bloody Finger Hunter Yura at the Academy of Raya Lucaria
As soon as you pass through the Main Gate of the Academy, a blood-red summoning sign for Bloody Finger Hunter Yura will appear to the northeast of the gate. Yura will invite you to his world and ask for your assistance in defeating Bloody Finger Ravenmount Assassin. In exchange, he will transport you there. Following the conclusion of this fight, Bloody Finger Hunter Yura will materialise on the bridge close to the school.
You will receive a Smithing Stone from Bloody Finger Hunter Yura if you speak with him [5]. He will also provide a clue about the continuation of his mission by stating that he has been looking for Eleonora, the Bloody Finger with the most lethal attacks, for some time now. Because there is nothing else that can be done with him at this point, you should proceed with the game and make your way to the Altus Plateau as soon as possible.
Bloody Finger Hunter Yura at the Altus Plateau
When you see Bloody Finger Hunter Yura again, he’ll be on the floor of the Second Church of Marika in West Altus Plateau. This location can be found on the map. If you ask him, he will tell you that Eleonora is much stronger than he is. After that, he’ll pass away, leaving you with a Nagakiba as your reward. Violet Bloody Finger will immediately invade you after he has been killed, Eleanora, so prepare yourself.
If you are successful in defeating her, you will receive a Purifying Crystal Tear as well as Eleonora’s Poleblade as a reward. She is a formidable opponent. On the other hand, this will be the last time that you see Yura’s soul; however, his possessed body will appear at a later point in the story.
Bloody Finger Hunter Yura at the Mountaintops of the Giants (Kind of)
When you make it to the Mountaintops of the Giants later on in the game, there is a chance that Yura will make another appearance. You must first defeat Mohg, the Omen in order for him to materialise. It is through this boss fight that you will learn about the Three Fingers and have the opportunity to learn about the Frenzied Flame.
At the Zamor Ruins Site of Grace, you will be able to meet Yura in her corporeal form if you travel from here. He will inform you that the Yura that you once knew has passed away and that the figure that is currently standing in front of you is none other than the infamous Shabriri, who is famous for the grapes. After that, Yura or Shabriri will advise you to look for the Three Fingers and to welcome the Frenzied Flame into your heart.
