What happens when you kill Yura, Hunter of Bloody Fingers, in Elden Ring?

sportskeeda.com:

The majority of non-playable characters, including quest givers, can be killed in Elden Ring.

Oftentimes, if a player is done interacting with a certain NPC, they will simply slaughter them to see what kind of loot they can pick up. Yura, the Bloody Finger Hunter, is a perfect example of this.

Players can speak with Yura to start a long questline that some may feel is ultimately more rewarding. Players can also simply kill him, remove the questline from existence, and take his sword.

If players kill Yura, it prevents his questline from being completed. This takes away chances at receiving Runes, gaining extra loot, obtaining more XP, and simply enjoying certain content found in Elden Ring.

Players meet Yura under an overpass in Limgrave, near the Seaside Ruins. This is where the long quest begins to take out other Bloody Finger Hunters. This quest can be completely avoided.

If players do not wish to complete the quest, they can simply attack Yura and after a few hits, he will fight back. Watch out for the length of his katana, as it can strike from a good distance. Kill him and the Nagakiba katana is dropped after his defeat.

If players choose to kill Yura, they will miss out on the following moments in his quest and their rewards:

The questline that Yura offers in Elden Ring is truly long. It takes a lot of travel, patience, and power to overcome the obstacles this questline delivers.

Completing these quests provides players with great rewards, but it ultimately depends on if they want to go through the trouble.
