Bloody Finger Hunter Yura

血の指の狩人、ユラ (Chi no yubi no karyūdo, Yura)

**Bloody Finger Hunter Yura** is an NPC in *Elden Ring.*

## Overview

Yura is a warrior who dresses in the garb reminiscent of that worn in the Land of Reeds. He is a self-proclaimed hunter of Bloody Fingers and a prior associate of Eleonora, Violet Bloody Finger, whom he likely had strong feelings for.

While resting by Agheel Lake in Limgrave, Yura is met by a Tarnished. Yura warns them to stay away from the lake, where the mighty dragon Agheel roosts. He will however offer his aid in hunting Agheel, and if the Tarnished slays the beast, will inform them of the Church of Dragon Communion and warn them about the dangers of seeking the power of dragons.

When the Tarnished is ambushed by Bloody Finger Nerijus, Yura intervenes and helps them kill him. Yura then makes his way to the Academy of Raya Lucaria, where he is paid back for helping the Tarnished champion by receiving aid against a Ravenmount assassin. He warns the Tarnished to avoid Eleonora, describing her as the deadliest of all Bloody Fingers.

Yura manages to track her down to the Second Church of Marika in the Altus Plateau, where he engages her in combat. Yura manages to slice off one of her fingers, but receives a mortal wound. As the Tarnished champion who had aided him stumbles upon the scene, Yura begs Eleonora to no longer yield to the cessblood, before dying.

After his death, his body is possessed by Shabiri, who claims that Yura gave him his body.
