What if Yura Dies in Elden Ring?
As a passionate Elden Ring fan and content creator, I wanted to provide some detailed insights into what happens if the friendly NPC Yura dies in Elden Ring. From missed rewards to lore implications, his death has a significant impact.
Introduction
Yura is first encountered in Limgrave as a helpful warrior protecting the weak from invading bloody fingers. He gifts the player useful items and has an intriguing storyline tying into later events and characters. So what exactly happens if Yura dies prematurely? Let‘s analyze the key outcomes:
Missed Rewards
If Yura dies, you immediately miss out on several rewards he gifts you for aiding him:
- Ash of War: Raptor of the Mists – This powerful jumping attack allows great aerial combos and mobility. It‘s a top tier Ash unusable if Yura dies.
- Smithing Stone [5] – This rare early smithing stone lets you upgrade special weapons much sooner.
- Rune Arc – A rune arc fully restores rune power to aid difficult bosses. Extremely useful.
- Furlcalling Finger Remedy – Allows summoning coop help. Very helpful for newcomers.
Missing these vital items makes the early game much more difficult and limits build options for new players.
| Reward | Description |
|---|---|
| Raptor of the Mists | Excellent dexterity Ash of War enabling devastating aerial combos |
| Smithing Stone [5] | Rare upgrade material allowing early special weapon ascension |
| Rune Arc | Fully restores Rune boosts to aid difficult boss fights |
| Finger Remedy | Allows summoning online cooperative help |
Ronin‘s Armor Set Unobtainable
The incredibly strong Ronin‘s armor set cannot be obtained if Yura dies prematurely. This is some of the best well-rounded armor in Elden Ring, with fantastic robustness, immunity, and focus. It also provides a very unique samurai visual style, unmatched in detail and design. Players must fully complete Yura‘s questline for a chance at the Ronin set.
Nagakiba Katana Still Retrieveable
Luckily, Yura‘s legendary katana Nagakiba can still be picked up after his death by returning to his last location. This weapon‘s incredible length and S-tier dexterity scaling make it a popular choice even in late game PVE and PVP builds. So while missing out on rewards and armor, players can still snag Yura‘s iconic blade.
Missing Lore and Connections
Finally, Yura has intricate questlines tying into other characters like Eleonora. He provides backstory referenced through item descriptions and dialogue expanding on Elden Ring‘s lore in the Badlands and conflict surrounding Deathroot. Players experience loss uncovering these details if Yura meets an early end.
As a hardcore fan invested in everything Elden Ring‘s world has to offer, I felt cheated out of deeper understanding missing Yura‘s questline my first playthrough.
Conclusion
In summary, Yura dying early causes players to permanently miss special rewards, armor, enriching NPC side stories, and lore flavor that color in Elden Ring‘s world. He still drops his coveted Nagakiba katana upon death, but killing him too soon lessens the experience. I‘d advise all players to progress his questline fully to reap all the benefits before an untimely end!
