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.

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 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

Exploration Options
Ruin-Strewn Precipice	Grand Lift of Dectus

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

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

Required Bosses to Beat
Draconic Tree Sentinel	Godfrey, First Elden Lord	Morgott the Omen King

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.

Bloody Finger Hunter Yura Quotes

"Ah, you must be the new Tarnished. You'd do well to steer clear of Agheel Lake, fledgling. A dragon roosts there... And it's as fearsome as it is majestic. So, unless you're mad, or wish to be burned alive... stay clear of the lake."

"Well, you fought Nerijus and survived. That alone deserves commendation. I am Yura. Hunter of Bloody Fingers. Tarnished held in thrall by cessblood. Zealots who stalk their own. If you stay the path, you are certain to face more of them."

"Don't let your emotions stay your blade."
