Elden Ring: How to Complete Bloody Finger Hunter Yura's Questline
Let's break down how to complete Yura's questline, what you'll gain from it, and how you can make the most out of the Elden Ring Runes and gear he leads you to.
Who is Bloody Finger Hunter Yura
You'll first encounter Yura beneath an overpass in Limgrave, not far from the Seaside Ruins. He warns you to stay away from Agheel Lake—a not-so-subtle foreshadowing of your potential encounter with Flying Dragon Agheel, a deadly early-game boss. Yura isn't just another NPC dispensing cryptic advice—he's part of a larger network of hunters who track down the invaders known as Bloody Fingers.
Yura is deeply knowledgeable about the Dragon Cult and the parasitic, violent tendencies of the Bloody Fingers. His story intertwines player-versus-player mechanics, dragon lore, and rich character development.
Step 1: Defeat Flying Dragon Agheel (Optional but Recommended)
After your first conversation with Yura, if you head to the lake he warns you about, you'll encounter Flying Dragon Agheel. Defeating this massive beast is entirely optional for Yura's quest, but doing so makes the dialogue richer. Once slain, revisit Yura and he'll acknowledge your prowess.
This fight is also a great opportunity to earn a chunk of Elden Ring Runes, making it an early-game power boost. Agheel drops a Dragon Heart, which can be exchanged for unique draconic incantations—some of the most powerful Elden Ring Items tied to the Dragon Cult.
Step 2: Assist Yura Against Bloody Finger Nerijus
Travel north along the river from Agheel Lake. As you move toward Murkwater Cave, you'll be invaded by Bloody Finger Nerijus. He's fast, aggressive, and deadly. But partway through the fight, Yura will arrive as a summon to assist you.
Once the battle is won, you'll receive the Reduvia Dagger, a powerful bleed weapon that's deadly in the right hands. This is your first reward from Yura's path and a fantastic early-game item.
Make sure to speak to Yura again afterward—he'll now be found further up the river near a destroyed campsite. He'll discuss his reasons for hunting Bloody Fingers and mention that this isn't the last you'll see of him.
Step 3: Raya Lucaria Invasion – Ravenmount Assassin
Later in the game, near the Main Gate of Raya Lucaria, you'll see a red summon sign to assist Yura. He's under attack by a Bloody Finger Assassin—Ravenmount. Accepting the summon will transport you to an alternate version of the area where you'll help Yura defeat this enemy.
After the battle, Yura will thank you and provide lore-rich dialogue about the eternal conflict between the hunters and the hunted. He'll then move again—this time to the Second Church of Marika in Altus Plateau.
Step 4: The Tragedy at the Second Church of Marika
This final meeting with Yura is bittersweet. When you arrive at the Second Church of Marika, you'll find him mortally wounded. He's been ambushed by Eleonora, Violet Bloody Finger, a powerful invader who uses a unique bleed polearm and dragon-based incantations.
You'll have to fight Eleonora yourself. She's a formidable foe, but defeating her rewards you with Eleonora's Poleblade and a Purifying Crystal Tear, both of which are top-tier Elden Ring items for bleed and dragon builds. You'll also collect a large number of Elden Ring Runes, making this fight worth every moment.
Afterward, Yura passes peacefully, having fulfilled his duty as a hunter.
Final Thoughts
Though tragic, Yura's questline leaves a lasting impact. Not only does it grant you powerful weapons and access to unique Elden Ring items, but it also enriches your understanding of the lore surrounding invasions, honor, and the Dragon Cult.
Players pursuing Yura's path will come away with:
Reduvia Dagger (Bleed weapon)
Eleonora's Poleblade (Dual-blade bleed weapon)
Purifying Crystal Tear (For special Flask builds)
Access to Dragon Heart incantations
Thousands of Elden Ring Runes
A deep emotional journey
Yura may not be the most talked-about NPC in Elden Ring, but his story is one of quiet bravery and moral clarity in a world soaked with chaos. If you're a Tarnished seeking more than just loot, take the time to walk beside this hunter—if only for a while.
Yura's journey may end, but the rewards he leads you to will resonate through the rest of your playthrough, whether you're hunting dragons, dueling invaders, or crafting the perfect build fueled by the Elden Ring Runes and items he helped you gather.
