Elden Ring features plenty of main and side quests to keep you busy for hours. In many cases, the optional quests offer just as good of a time with solid rewards. Case in point: the Elden Ring questline with Bloody Finger Hunter Yura. There are just a few parts to complete his tale, and we’ll tackle each one (including the optional ones) so you can score all the rewards by the end.
Yura Questline Part 1
The first main part of Yura’s questline in Elden Ring is completely optional. But if you’re one of those completionists, you’ll want to finish this anyway. You can break this part down into three sections:
- Meeting Yura
- Killing the Dragon at Agheel Lake
- Returning to Yura for a second time
You have a chance to first meet Yura in the northeast section of the Seaside Ruins close to the Site of Grace. Talk to him there and hear his warning to stay away from Agheel Lake. Of course, there’s loot found if you slay the Flying Dragon, so that’s a bonus right there. When you’re finished, return to Yura, and he will tell you all about the Church of Dragon Communion.
Yura Questline Part 2
Now, we’re reaching the required sections of Yura’s Elden Ring questline, and our resident Bloody Finger Hunter has quite the journey ahead. First, you should plan for a fight. You’re going to head to West Limgrave and try to enter the Murkwater Cave. Before you can do so, there’s an ambush by Bloody Finger Nerijus. Don’t worry if you’re not prepared. After some time, Yura will arrive and help you.
Once that’s done, you can score loot like the Reduvia dagger. Now, this part is optional: if you head north up the river in the same area, you can speak with Yura again.
Questline Part 3
Next up in our Elden Ring questline with Yura is to travel to Liurnia of the Lakes and head to the Academy of Raya Lucaria. You must have a Glintstone Key to enter the building. Use the key at the entrance at the South Raya Lucaria Gate. From there, you can use the nearby Site of Grace. But you want to head north and follow the bridge until you get to the summon sign. Once you interact with it, you’re transported to Yura’s world as he battles Bloody Finger Ravemount Assassin.
When you defeat the enemy, you can earn the Ash of War: Raptor of the Mists. Afterward, you can speak with Yura when you return to learn more lore about the hunter.
Questline Part 4
Yura’s reached his end at this point, which means we’re nearly done with the Bloody Finger Hunter’s questline in Elden Ring. We’re going to head to the Altus Plateau and visit the Second Church of Marika. It’s here that we’ll witness Yura dying. After you speak to him and he dies, he drops his katana Nagakiba.
Before you know it, Eleonora, Violet Bloody Finger will spawn in and ruin things. But you do get to test out your newly acquired katana if you wish. Once you defeat her, you can loot Eleonora’s Poleblade as well as a Purifying Crystal Tear.
Yura Questline Part 5
For our final journey with Yura’s Elden Ring questline, we’re heading to the Mountaintop of Giants to reach the Zamor Ruins Site of Grace. When you get there, your eyes won’t deceive you: you will see the previously dead Yura standing near the Site. However, that’s just an imposter by the name of Shabriri parading around in Yura’s corpse. You have two options here:
- Option 1: Speak to Shabriri and agree to receive the Leyndell Flame. If you do, Shabriri will vanish and leave you with Yura’s Ronin Armor set.
- Option 2: Fight and kill Shabriri. You can still loot the Ronin Armor set.
Either way, you will conclude Yura’s questline with both his katana and his armor set. Of course, you can get these items by killing Yura when you first encounter them and looting the corpse. If you go to the same area at the end, Shabriri will still be there, and you can kill him, too. But doing the questline is far more rewarding.
Elden Ring is available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
