How to get to Yahar'gul, The Unseen Village in Bloodborne? | FAQ Bloodborne Guide
Last update: 06 March 2018
There are two ways, in which you can get to Yahar'gul, The Unseen Village. The first one is visiting the village earlier than it is required by the plotline. You can then only access the part of the village called the Underground Jail.
For this to be possible, you need to defeat the boss at the Old Yharnam, Blood-starved Beast. After you do that, in several locations, you will encounter opponents of a new type ((the screenshot), with bags on their backs. These bags are used for capturing you and the opponents are very strong. At an early stage into the game, they will easily kill you. And this is the point! Unusually, after you are killed by the opponents, you do not respawn in the location of the last lit lamp. Instead, you will respawn in the cage inside the Underground Jail.
Some of the locations, where you can encounter the "catchers":
- after you leave Odeon's Chapel (the entrance is across) go right before the stairs, as much as possible, towards the building. The catcher is lurking in the corner,
- at the Cathedral ward, on the right side of the chapel where there is the entrance to the Old Yharnam,
- in the lower part of the workshop, in the Healing Church,
- in the Forbidden Woods, in the upper part of the village.
This location is swarming with strong opponents. If you have traveled to the village early into the game, you may have hard time here. To be able to return here, it is a good idea to exit the cage, right after you wake up, and climb up the stairs, where you can light the lamp at the altar. It remains lit, up until you have killed Rom, the Vacuous Spider. After you defeat him in Byrgenwerth, you will not be able to use it anymore.
Note: In the village, you can find Adella, who is connected with a side quest. If you want to save her, by telling her about the safety, you need to do this, before you fight Rom, the Vacuous Spider. Some of the items that you find here, during the first visit, are the same as the ones that you find later on - if you miss something, you will still have one more opportunity to visit here.
The location itself will not be much different - all the some opponents disappear and they are replaced with other. After you defeat Rom, the Vacuous Spider, you gain access to the entire Yahar'gul, The Unseen Village. The entrance is on the right-most side, in Cathedral ward, you need to take a turn before the Church. In the spot, where you could earlier access the Lecture Building, there will now be opened door - this is the actual entrance to Yahar'gul.
