Northeastern bridge beyond Main Academy Gate

Liurnia of the Lakes · Academy assistance

Starting Site of Grace: Main Academy Gate

  1. Use an Academy Glintstone Key to reach Main Academy Gate. Walk through the northeastern blue seal without interacting with it. Continue onto the bridge and look for Yura’s red sign near the broken end.

  1. Follow the road north from Altus Highway Junction. Leave it toward the church northwest of the junction, on the lower hillside. Find Yura inside.

Quest steps

Quest steps can include different outcomes. Read the branch, conditions and cutoffs before making a choice.

  1. Optional dragon meeting

    Branch: Main quest

    Speak at the lakeside camp for his warning about Agheel. He can assist against the dragon, but killing Agheel is not required for the later Bloody Finger quest.

  2. Survive Nerijus

    Branch: Main quest

    Fight Nerijus in Murkwater ravine. Yura arrives to help after the fight begins. Keep yourself alive, then speak to him farther north.

  3. Return the favor

    Branch: Main quest

    Use Yura’s red sign beyond Main Academy Gate to help him defeat Bloody Finger Ravenmount Assassin. Back in your world, speak to him on the bridge.

  4. Find Eleonora

    Branch: Main quest

    After the academy encounter, speak to the dying Yura inside Second Church of Marika. Collect Nagakiba, then defeat Eleonora when she invades.

    Progression cutoff: Do the academy meeting before reaching the Mountaintops. Shabriri’s arrival replaces Yura’s remaining story.

Rewards and conditions

Reward or serviceConditionDetails
Smithing Stone [5]Speak to Yura after the Ravenmount victory.Ash of War: Raptor of the Mists is awarded by the assisted invasion.
NagakibaCollect it after his death, or kill him early.Early killing loses his later assistance and conversations. If his story was skipped, check his last applicable earlier position for the sword.
Eleonora’s Poleblade and Purifying Crystal TearDefeat Eleonora at Second Church of Marika.These are her invasion rewards rather than Yura’s direct gift.

Notes

  • Yura’s red sign asks you to help him. It is not a prompt to kill him.
  • Ronin Set belongs to the later Shabriri meeting in Yura’s body. Killing Yura early does not provide the armor.
  • The blue academy seals can be walked through. Interacting with one instead changes where you travel.
  • Eleonora can still become available through later progression if Yura’s meetings were skipped, but that does not restore his academy reward.
  • Nagakiba’s pickup location depends on where his unfinished story stopped. Check the lakeside camp, ravine and academy bridge if it is missing from the church.
