Bloody Finger Hunter Yura is one of the many NPCs you'll encounter that has a side quest to complete in Elden Ring. For this part of our Elden Ring guide, you'll find details of where to find him, how to begin his questline, and the consequences of any choices you make along the way.

Bloody Finger Hunter Yura in Limgrave

To find Bloody Finger Hunter Yura for the first time and kick off his quest, you can meet him in two possible locations. It doesn't matter which one you choose, although you'll be presented with slightly different dialogue options depending on the route you take.

At the Seaside Ruins

Head to the Seaside Ruins south of the Dragon-Burnt Ruins and head due east from the Site of Grace located here. You will find Yura underneath an alcove made by a crumbled ruin. He will introduce himself and advise you to not try to take on the dragon living in the aforementioned Dragon-Burnt Ruins.

Naturally, at this point you should plan to head north and return to these ruins to take on Flying Dragon Agheel. Upon defeating this field boss, you will receive a Dragon Heart key item. Bring this to Yura at the Coastal Ruins to progress his questline and learn about the Church of Dragon Communion, located on an island southwest of Limgrave and accessible via the Coastal Cave dungeon.

Near Murkwater Cave

Another option for your first meeting with Yura is to head along the river that feeds into Agheel's lake from the north. As you make your way up this waterway, you will be invaded by the NPC Bloody Finger Nerijus. After fighting him for a bit, you will get a message that Bloody Finger Hunter Yura has come to aid you in battle. Upon besting Nerijus, continue north along this river until you find Yura on the righthand bank, underneath an outcropping of stone. He will introduce himself and explain the concept of the Bloody Fingers.

Bloody Finger Hunter Yura at the Academy of Raya Lucaria

When you reach the Academy Main Gate, there will be a red summoning sign for Bloody Finger Hunter Yura to the northeast. Yura will require your help to beat Bloody Finger Ravenmount Assassin and will transport you to his world. After this battle, Bloody Finger Hunter Yura will appear on the bridge near the academy.

Speak to Bloody Finger Hunter Yura and he'll give you a Smithing Stone [5]. He will also hint at the next part of his quest, mentioning that he has been tracking the deadliest Bloody Finger for some time, Eleonora. At this point, there is nothing further you can do with him, so continue through your game until you reach the Altus Plateau.

Bloody Finger Hunter Yura at the Altus Plateau

The next time you see Bloody Finger Hunter Yura, he'll be on the floor of the Second Church of Marika in West Altus Plateau. Speak to him and he'll say that he's no match for Eleonora. He'll then die, rewarding you with a Nagakiba. Following his death, Eleanora, Violet Bloody Finger will invade you immediately.

She is a considerable foe, but managing to kill her will reward you with a Purifying Crystal Tear and Eleonora's Poleblade. However, this is the last that you will see of Yura's soul, although his possessed body makes an appearance later on.

Bloody Finger Hunter Yura at the Mountaintops of the Giants (Kind of)

Yura can make another appearance later on in the game, when you reach the Mountaintops of the Giants. For him to appear, you must defeat Mohg, the Omen as battling this boss leads to the discovery of the Three Fingers and the opportunity to discover the Frenzied Flame.

From here, Yura's corporeal form can be met at the Zamor Ruins Site of Grace. He will explain that the Yura that you once knew is dead, and that the form standing before you is none other than the infamous Shabriri, of the grape fame. Yura/Shabriri will then encourage you to seek the Three Fingers and embrace the Frenzied Flame.
