Bloody Finger Hunter Yura Questline

Speak to Yura About the Dragon of Agheel Lake

Your first meeting with Bloody Finger Hunter Yura will be underneath the ruins of an old structure, acting as shelter for the hunter. Speaking to Yura will have him warn you about the Flying Dragon Agheel boss that spawns in Agheel Lake.

Beat the Boss for Lore on Dragon Communion

An extension of this interaction with Yura will occur when players manage to beat the Flying Dragon Agheel boss and receive their first Dragon Heart.

Returning to him will have him warn you about the dangers of dragon communion, while also pointing out the nearest Church of Dragon Communion where you can get dragon incantations.

Your second interaction with Yura will be underneath another fallen tower, this time in the large gully to the north of Agheel Lake. In order to get him to appear in this location, players will need to either beat or survive the encounter with Bloody Finger Nerijus.

Yura will also be a gold summon for the fight, appearing automatically once Nerijus spawns. Wait for him to come to your aid to quickly dispatch of this blood-crazed hunter of Tarnished.

Yura will next appear at the Academy of Raya Lucaria in Liurnia. There will be a red summon sign on the broken bridge to the north of the Main Academy Gate site of grace which you need to interact with.

Find Yura at the Second Church of Marika

Yura can next be found at the Second Church of Marika in the Altus Plateau. If you helped him in Liurnia, he should be inside the chapel, dying on the floor. Speak to him and he will drop his Nagakiba.

After he passes, Eleonora, Violet Bloody Finger will invade. Defeat her to get the Purifying Crystal Tear and Eleonora's Poleblade.

How to Get to the Altus Plateau

There are two methods of getting up to the Altus Plateau. The first is braving the Ruin-Strewn Precipice and fighting Magma Wyrm Makar to unlock the way up.

The easier option is getting the Dectus Medallion (Left) and Dectus Medallion (Right), before activating the Grand Lift of Dectus to head up.

Possessed by Shabriri

The final interaction with Yura will be next to the Zamor Ruins site of grace at the Mountaintops of the Giants. At this point, his body will already have been possessed by Shabriri.

Speak to him for a clue on how to meet the Three Fingers under Leyndell and unlock the Frenzied Flame Ending of Elden Ring.

Shabriri Questline and Location

Quest Objectives
Defeat the Main Bosses in Leyndell
Activate the Grand Lift of Rold
Get Yura's Armor (Optional)

Defeat the Main Bosses in Leyndell

In order to unlock the Mountaintops of the Giants region, players will need to defeat the Main Story bosses in Leyndell. This list includes the Draconic Tree Sentinel, Godfrey the First Elden Lord, and Morgott the Omen King.

Once these three bosses are beaten, Melina will give you the medallion to activate the Grand Lift of Rold, which takes you to the Mountaintops of the Giants region.

Activate the Grand Lift of Rold

Once players arrive at the lift, hoist the Rold Medallion to ascend to the Mountaintops of the Giants. From there, head over to the Zamor Ruins site of grace to meet with the possessed Yura.

How to Get Yura's Armor

After speaking to him at the Zamor Ruins, you can attack Yura and provoke him into fighting. His name will be Shabriri when hostile. Defeat him to get the Iron Kasa, Ronin's Armor, Ronin's Gauntlets, and the Ronin's Greaves.

Note: While the death dialogue may suggest otherwise, killing Yura here will not lock you out of the Frenzied Flame Ending. Players can still accept the Frenzied Flame from the Three Fingers after this.

Lore and Trivia

Lore

• As his name suggests, Yura is a hunter of Bloody Fingers - Tarnished enthralled by the call of cessblood and driven to madness. He will come to your aid when you are first invaded by Bloody Finger Nerijus, in Limgrave.
• Yura once knew Eleonora, the Violet Bloody Finger. As Shabriri observes later on after possessing Yura's body, the old ronin kept the woman close to his heart. It makes his death all the more tragic when players realize that he did not heed his own advice. Yura, in the end, let his emotions stay his blade.

Trivia

• If players get invaded by Bloody Finger Nerijus before speaking to Yura near the Seaside Ruins, he will carry over his dragon warning dialogue when you meet him in the river gully south of the Murkwater Catacombs.
• For players who missed his entire questline and arrived at the Mountaintops of the Giants, you can still get his Nagakiba by visiting his last known location. If you never spoke to him, his Nagakiba will most likely be by his campfire near the Seaside Ruins in Limgrave.
