"You there! Hunter! Didn't you see the warning?"

— Retired Hunter Djura

Retired Hunter Djura is a character in Bloodborne.

Description

Djura is a legendary Hunter who, despite his old age, still displays a vast amount of skill when facing the beasts and seems to be strong enough to use his signature chain gun.

Djura has long, laid back gray hair and sports an old Dutch gray beard. He is apparently one-eyed, since he uses a bandage as a makeshift eyepatch for his right eye. Djura is dressed in tattered, silver clothes, and wears a tricorn similar to the one from the Hunter Set.

Location

• Old Yharnam:
  • Atop the tower with a large Chain Gun.

Lore

Djura is an old veteran hunter who is said to possess amazing skill. No one has seen him in many years, since he ventured into Old Yharnam, deserted and burned to the ground after the plague of the beast took its toll there long ago. Some of his dialogue suggest he still sees the beasts as sentient, intelligent beings, and so has a problem with their slaughter and is hell-bent on keeping hunters out.

Strategy

Djura is comparable to a skilled human invader in terms of difficulty, and the small combat area does little to help the situation.

• When approaching his rooftop perch he will attack the approaching player with a constant volley from his mounted Gatling Gun.

• Once confronted Djura will switch to a Stake Driver and Hunter Blunderbuss while tossing the occasional Molotov at his opponent. Djura is an incredibly aggressive and quick opponent giving players very little time to heal or counter his attacks and will do a quick dash attack, which has a very brief charge time, an explosion attack from his Stake Driver or repeatedly fire his Blunderbuss at players who attempt to gain distance or heal. Healing will often lead to Djura using his dash attack.

• Quick attacks or poorly timed gunshots will cause Djura to respond with a gunshot of his own, staggering the player and giving Djura an opportunity for a Visceral Attack. Djura can also be staggered.

• Djura can be shot off the rooftop. Reloading the area will make it possible to go back and loot Djura. Baiting him to run towards the player and then climbing down the ladder can sometimes cause him to fall off, but if timed poorly, can lead to a quick shot in the back, knocking the Hunter over the edge.

Upon killing Djura, players can loot his body for the Powder Keg Hunter Badge, and his trademark Ashen Hunter Set will be purchaseable from the Insight Bath Messenger.

Non-Confrontation

While most new players will just outright get to Djura and kill him so that they are no longer shot at with the chaingun, it is possible to befriend him, but only through a very contrived and time consuming method.

Befriending Djura requires only two things:

1. Enter Old Yharnam from the back, as entering through the front will always cause him to be hostile.
2. Do not kill any beasts.

Here, the player is given a dialogue choice, where both options result in a neutral Djura. Sparing the beasts will reward the player with the Powder Keg Hunter Badge and the "Brush off Dust" gesture.

Attacking any beasts in Djura's vision will cause him to become hostile and mount the gatling gun once more.

Introduction You there, Hunter! Didn't you see the warning? Turn back at once, Old Yharnam, burned and abandoned by men, is now home only to beasts. They are of no harm to those above. Turn back, or the hunter will face the hunt. After entering Old Yharnam From the Front You are a skilled hunter, adept, merciless... half-cut with blood, as the best hunters are. Which is why I must stop you... I should think you still have dreams, well the next time you dream... give some thought, to the hunt. Entering Old Yharnam From the Back and Speaking to Well, well, how did you get in here? Ah, it's no matter. What brings you to Old Yharnam? I've no interest in matters further up, but you must not disturb this place. The beasts do not venture above, and mean no harm to anyone. If you still insist on hunting them, then I will hunt you first. You understand me? Spare the Beasts Yes, very good. I no longer dream, but I was once a hunter too. There's nothing more horrific than a hunt. In case you fail to realise, the things you hunt -- they're not beasts, they're people. One day you will see. It's time you got going, but first a farewell gift. I have no use for it anyway. Talking to after Sparing Beasts What is it? Surely I need not repeat myself. Go I say. You have the whole night to dream, make the best of it. Choosing to Spare the Beasts, then Attacking them later You devious rat! The makings of a true hunter, this lass. Very well, then there's no need to hold back. The beasts will feast tonight. Hunt the Beasts Of course, I thought as much. You are a true hunter, which is why I must stop you. Attacking Him Is it the blood, or are you just raving mad? Being Killed by Him When the frail of heart join the fray, the hunter, becomes the hunted. Then come as often as you like, and I will show you another death. Upon Killing But remember one thing, you're not hunting beasts, it's you -- you're the beast, just think about what you're doing - it's utter madness.

Unknown Occasion "I should think you still have dreams? Well, the next time you dream, give some thought... to the hunt, and its purpose..." "You still dream, I should think? Then come as often as you like, and I will show you another death. Even a beast will feel pain, eventually…" Unknown Occasion "Don't you understand? All beasts were once men. Where is the profit in their murder? Why? Why insist on hunting us? We will never leave Old Yharnam. What possible harm could we cause? Whatever feeds your bloodlust… ...is of your own creation, not ours!"

Notes

• It is advised to befriend Djura as it allows players to acquire his gesture. Killing him after befriending him is also reccomended in order to acquire his trademark Ashen Hunter Set.
  • If players befriend and then decide to kill him, there is a rather easy strategy to deal with as he can be pushed off the tower with the Beast Roar without aggroing. This is due to the fact that this Hunter Tool does not deal any damage.
• If players are keen on killing Djura easily, then equip a pistol-type firearm, climb the stairs, and immediately spam-fire Djura relentlessly. Djura will fall from the edge and die instantly. Reloading the game makes the Powder Keg Hunter Badge spawn where he stood on the tower.

Trivia

• Djura claims that although once a hunter, he does not partake in the dream or the hunt.
• Djura wears his eyepatch over his left eye in the game. However, he can be seen wearing the eyepatch over his right eye in his concept art.
• In his artwork, he can be seen wielding a dagger, but it is currently unknown if he uses it in battle.
• Item descriptions state that the Hunter Hat is modeled after his cap.
• If the player has entered Old Yharnam through the back, after performing the necessary requirements to befriend Djura, when climbing the ladder to Djura's gatling gun spot, he will walk forward, almost to the center of the area, instead of standing near the gatling gun itself when he is hostile.
