Hypogean Gaol is a location in Bloodborne, a subsection of Yahar'gul that can be accessed before the main quest takes the Hunter there. The lamp to this location becomes unavailable after the player advances past Rom, the Vacuous Spider, although the area will be accessible once again later in the night.
How to Find:
To reach Hypogean Gaol you must be killed by a Snatcher (the snatcher has to score the kill. simply dying near one doesn't work). These enemies start to appear after you defeat the boss Blood-Starved Beast. If they kill you, you will get a short cutscene and wake up in a prison. If you leave your cage and ascend the stairs, you will reach the lamp of Hypogean Gaol.
Lamps
The first lamp is found at the top of the spiral staircase to the left of the area in which you spawn. Quite a few strong enemies reside inside the Unseen Village, so it may be helpful to light this Lamp and come back when you are stronger. (After you defeat Rom, this lamp will become unavailable from the Hunter's Dream)
Saw Spear: N - Found on body in Central Yharnam or can be purchased for 1000 Blood Echoes from the Messengers after finding the Saw Hunter Badge
