Shadow of Yharnam (ヤーナムの影 Yānamu no kage lit. "Shadow of Yharnam") is a Boss in Bloodborne.
Shadow of Yharnam Information
- This fight is not optional, as defeating the enemies is required to progress to Byrgenwerth.
- You gain 0 Insight for finding the boss and 2 Insight for beating it.
- If left alive too long, all 3 will transform, plus gaining the summoning ability.
- With Impurity rune equipped, you can summon Younger Madaras Twin. The summon spot is near the place where you'd find Clockwise Metamorphosis rune.
- If killed, Henryk can be summoned for this fight. Summon him at the fork just before the Forbidden Grave using Old Hunter Bell. If Henryk has not been killed, Younger Madaras Twin will be summoned instead.
- Make use of obstacles such as the huge rock/grave to separate them temporarily. Fighting all three at once is disadvantageous. Obstacles(tall ones) can also give you cover from fire spells.

Combat Information
- One of the three is strong against Bolt and Arcane damage.
- There are three Shadows in this fight. The first wields only a scimitar weapon in his left hand, the second a scimitar and a candle which acts in a similar fashion to the Flamesprayer, the third holds a flame in hand similar to the pyromancy flame from Dark Souls.
- Dont let them swarm you, move around, take cover in obstacles, lure the melee, charge the mage if no one is near him...etc
- When one Shadow has been damaged below the 40% threshold, they will all transform gaining additional abilities.(phase 2)
- When 2 are dead, or one is dead and both others have reached 30% health, the survivors will gain the ability to summon giant snakes that generally kill you in 1 hit.(phase 3)
- They will not heal between stages, so it is recommended getting them all close to 30% HP before letting them transform, then during the second phase, get them both close to death, and you can then finish the last one off right after the second, essentially skipping the third phase.
- All three of the Shadows can be parried. After you kill the fully melee one, the second one starts swinging his own sword, leaving him open to parries and when you get close to the fire throwing one, he switches to physical attacks, which can all be parried.
- The Shaman Bone Blade works on them allowing you to easily kill them off.
- Especially weak against Bolt - Tonitrus or Bolt Paper makes this fight much easier.
- Summoing an NPC hunter helps a lot - the two melees will generally focus on the NPC, letting you stun lock the mage. Finish him quickly, or the NPC may be killed before you can help him with the other two.
During the first phase, the first and second Shadows will be extremely aggressive and chase you around while the third will fire soft-homing fireballs at you that come in waves of three. This puts you in a very evasive position and the obvious course of action is to kill the third ASAP. The third tends to hang back from you compared to the others, leading the first and second away from the third is recommended. Obstacles throughout the arena are useful for stalling the aggressive pair's movement. When the third becomes isolated, charge at him and beat him down, but watch out, because the other two will be on you again quickly. The first is the most aggressive, but that doesn't mean you can ignore the second. The second will occasionally blow on his candle and unleash a flame in a wide arc that tracks you. If you're caught in the middle of it you're likely to die, but if you can get away from it you should survive just fine.
After you've done enough damage to kill one of them (you don't actually need to kill one of them, but just do enough damage between the three that one would be dead if all that damage was stacked on them), the Shadows reveal their inhuman nature. Their movesets change at this point, becoming rather bizarre; they can stretch their limbs at odd angles. You'll find that this increases their range immensely. If you put too much distance between yourself and the two melee Shadows, they'll hit you with melee attacks with a near unlimited range. There's very little wind up to these attacks, meaning that you've got an incredibly narrow window to dodge. If they land one of these attacks they can take off significant amounts of health.
At this point the second will light his scimitar on fire, if you attack him during this animation and manage to stagger him, you can prevent this weapon buff. The third will occasionally shoot the fireballs up in an arc rather than fire them in a wave now, where the fireballs land will leave a patch of fire. Otherwise, the second phase is largely the same. After killing the third, focus your attention on killing the first Shadow, as it is more aggressive. Use the obstacles in the area to separate the two remaining Shadows, but be careful - when the Shadows stretch their limbs for their attacks, it seems they can clip through the obstacles.
After killing your second shadow, the remaining shadow gains an extra ability; a new "summoning" ability wherein he will pause for a moment, become enveloped in a crimson aura, and cause several ENORMOUS serpents to rise from the surrounding mire and attack you. It doesn't matter which Shadow is left alive, all three are capable of this attack when they're on their own. In practice, they're not so much enemies as an attack unto themselves, as they'll eventually go away. Their range covers pretty much the entire arena, so keep on your toes. If you're feeling brave, when the Shadow gets down on his knees to summon you can sprint in and land a couple of hits. You can interrupt this summoning process if you can get enough hits in quickly enough which will stop the snakes appearing.
If you're having trouble with the snake spawns in the last phase, try to leave the third Shadow until last and then stay right on top of him attacking constantly. It takes a second for his fireball to wind up so you can interrupt it and if he's being hit he won't stop to summon the giant snakes. The only thing to look out for is his occasional mace attack.
Attacks and Counters
| Attack Name | Attack Description & Counter |
|---|---|
| Phase 1 | Mage (Mace & Fireball) |
| Homing Fireball | The Mage Shadow casts out 3 fireballs that will home in on your location. This attack is easily dodged, or you can use the terrain to your advantage. |
| Phase 1 | Candle |
| Fire Breath (Candle) | The Shadow holding the candle will periodically blow fire in your general direction. Keeping your distance is good. Bait the attack out and keep distance until the fire is done spewing. Dodging to the side will help. |
| Phase 1 | Sword |
| Upward Swing | Swift close-range launcher used in combos and on its own; counter, or quickstep forward or backward. |
| Running Slash | Mid-range running knockdown attack; counter, or quickstep sideways or forward through them. |
| Phase 2 | Sword |
| Whip Thrust | Long-range forward thrust with slightly delayed startup; counter, or quickstep sideways |
| Whip Uppercut | Identical to the Upward Slash, except slightly delayed startup and long-range; counter or quickstep any direction. |
| Phase 2 | Mage |
| Triple Raining Fireball | Throws three arcing mid-range fireballs that converge on your location and create large spherical explosions; quickstep backward or forward. |
| Phase 3 | All |
| Snake Summon | Summons three giant snakes that perform long-range strikes or mid-range sweeping bites depending on their distance from you. Snakes appear in random locations; keep moving and roll in any direction when attacked. |
Strategy 1 (Hunter Axe with Pistol - Physical build)
- initially kite the bosses, until fire tossing boss is out of Line of Sight. preferably use the big grave stone to the right of the entrance. the one with katana is extremely easy to counter with the pistol. 3-4 counters will drop him to low enough health for him to transform.
- when he is transforming, DO NOT BACK OFF, dash in and finish him off ASAP, the katana one is very very annoying in the snake form, and becomes less aggressive overall.
- next kill the scythe one.
- lastly the fire one is really easy.
Strategy 2 (Happy Feet)
This strategy makes the fight trivial. Focus the fast katana user first, and kite around the fire mage. Use obstacles in the arena to block his fireballs. Once the first katana user is dead, there will be two left. The now snake bellied fire caster, using AoE bursts of flame (simply avoid the areas he's shooting), and the one with the flaming katana. The one with the flaming katana is promptly named "Happy Feet," because he does nothing but sidestep you. This has happened to me twice now, both NG and NG+, and I'm not sure if it's supposed to happen, but all he does is sidestep you. You can pin him in to a corner, or just laugh at him, but all he does is dodge sideways. To finish the fight, simply pin him in a corner and attack him to death, he will not ever attack. For both fights I used Ludwig's Holy Sword in greatsword form. After happy feet is dead, the fire caster will pull out an Tonitrus without any lightning buff, and poorly try and hit you with it. It does some damage, so watch out, but nothing to stress about, as he is very slow and short range.
(This seems to only have happened due to a bug where enemy AI would become extremely simple if the game was left on for too long. It no longer happens, and the AI will attack as normal on current patches.)
Strategy 3 (AI)
The fight is tough, especially on NG+ but don't give up. This strategy involves killing the caster first. This seems obvious but the strategy begins to work once it is dead. I chose to wear high fire resist armor for the times I made mistakes. Anyways once the caster is dead, next start to work on the katana only boss. The trick for the 2nd phase is to keep both bosses in line of sight and keeping a certain distance. Once you find the distance they seem to become incredibly predictable. This strategy is designed to take away the advantage the boss has which, at this point is 2 AI threads running independently. If you properly distance yourself you can bait the katana wielder to do a normal melee attack while the other breathes fire. Once you get in this rhythm you can start to parry the katana wileder consistently. The AI may to do some weird things so pay attention during this second phase cause it isn't guaranteed to keep them from doing something random. The idea is to get as many V-attacks on the katana wielder. This will mitigate the damage you take by giving you i-frames and healing you if you use the proper rune. Also if you wear the Charred set, the damage the candle boss will do is reduced. If you can get through this second phase you should be in great shape for the last phase.
The last phase should be simple. Stay aggressive and bait attacks to push the last boss into a corner. As long as you keep stamina and consistent Damage you shouldn't have a problem.
Strategy 4 (New Game +)
This is a very tough fight on New Game+. Prepare to die, and be very patient. Focus only on one at a time. Out of the three the most annoying one is the fire caster. Focus on him first, and kill him as fast as possible. Use the giant tomb stones, and the little ones as cover perpetually so you can draw the two swordsmen away from the fire caster. Once you get him low enough they will all transform. That's when you kill him as fast as possible and start focusing on the other two. Next one to kill is the one with the katana. This one is also very annoying. Since he is already transformed he will have long range sweeps and a uppercut thrust which deals a lot of damage. Just keep circling and use the tombstones as cover again. Use the Hunter Axe in trick form to do a sweep attack knocking them back repeatedly over and over. If you can use your pistol to counter him when he is in the middle of an attack, this will make it go by a lot faster. Once you have killed the Katana wielder rush to the last guy and do not let him breathe. Continuously attack him because he can summon snakes at this point which will kill you in one hit. DO NOT LET THAT HAPPEN. Keep on him and you will find success.
Strategy 5 (Waste of Skin, level 4)
The hardest boss battle in level 4 run can be made somewhat easier if you know what you are doing. First you have to prepare for the fight. You need two important things. Shaman Bone Blade (Brainsucker near Alfred NPC and the Forest entrance drops those) and piece of tape or some object to put in front of your TV to mark the exact place in the healthbars that triggers the phase two. Damaging the shadows in phase one is much easier than in phase two so getting the melee Shadow and the Mage as low health as possible before triggering the phase two is essential. Once those two are in low health (like 33%) and the next swing would trigger the phase two get the Shaman Bone Blade ready. Trigger the second phase by attacking and when the Shadows are transforming hit either the Katana or Mage with the Shaman Bone Blade. This way Shadows will fight each other and with luck kill the Bone Bladed one so you only have to worry about the last remaining two. I recommend to kill the melee Shadow with Bone Blade since the Mage has lesser health pool and is maybe easier to finish off later. Try to trigger the Candle Shadows fire breath attack and then run to the low health Shadow. Either kill him by attacking or use another Shaman Bone Blade if you can. After the second one is down just run to the last one, swing once and walk forward to create the famous loop strat.
Strategy 6 ( bloody hunter )
Have bloodtinge of 30 or higher ten bone marrow ash an Evelyn pistol 20 blood vials 20 bullets and any weapon that's +6 to +10. Find the one shadow you just hate with your whole heart, use your bone marrow ash on your Evelyn pistol for each shot, if he isn't dead kill him off with your weapon. If you don't kill the one with the candle first go for him this is where you use fire paper. Once its just one left avoid attack when possible, and NEVER EVER let them do the ground touch, it summons annoying ass snakes. Sadly I'm unable to help with how to dodge the attacks either find what works for you or use the guide above. Thankyou for reading my strategy.

Almost everyone in this comment thread needs to git gud. This battle rules. Most fun I had in BB up to that point. Spam dodge and kill the fire mage one first. Easy peasy.
I had 60k souls from exploring all the forbidden woods and I thought I could finally find a lamp there... just to be surprised by 3 dark figures. Thank God for the giant rock in the middle, otherwise the fireballs would have destroyed me. I made it out on the first try and didn't lose my souls.

There is a way to freeze their AI by walking up to the fog gate, moving to the far left of it while still touching it and turning left while keeping the prompt. After that, hit the button and the ai will freeze! If you fail, quit out and try again

When I beat them they gave me 18600 souls. NOT 20460. I was paying attention because I visceraled the last one hoping for 30% more echos and I guess it didnt count. I got less than what this wiki is saying is the base amount too. So I doubt the heir rune worked and the wiki must be outdated cause they indeed gave me 18600 on a fresh new game.

I’m gonna be controversial here and say this is one of the best gank fights in soulsborne. The only gank fight that surpasses it in my opinion is demon prince. I’ve always had fun fighting the shadows of yharnam. The reason I say demon prince surpasses it is because the shadows are way too easy even without parrying. I haven’t beat ds2 so I can’t say for their fights.
I ignored any tips, and it worked fairly well for me by doing this...
Wear the Charred Hunter set for fire protection. Applied bolt to weapon at the start. I focused mainly on the caster, even though everyone said not to, but I tried to keep the health bars of everyone fairly balanced. I only did this (balanced health bars) because I found that snake summon in the final phase to be pretty painful. So near the end when it was just two left, I had them both down fairly low, that way when I killed the one guy, the second wouldn't take much to kill. He ended up not even getting a summon off, because he was so low health for me to kill.
In hindsight though, it probably would have been best to focus on one of the melee guys first, since they have crazy reach in phase 2... but things worked out fine for me. In phase two, I found using that large tombstone to protect myself a bit while I charged the R2 attack on the axe worked fairly well.

My strat for this (first attempt kill):
One of them will always rush you. He is the priority. Once he starts an animation, interrupt with a quickshot if using the side arm (my build is axe+sidearm). Enough interrupts will stagger them allowing for easy free damage. At some points, you will be able to rush the caster one to get some free damage in, be sure to do that from time to time if the melees are attacking the air randomly.
While focusing melee make sure to dodge the fireballs of the caster, always be on the move and kite around pillars as if you're playing WoW arena.
Don't risk it and always heal up if you get caught out, repeat until sword guy #1 is dead.
Repeat the strategy for guy melee #2.
Finish off the caster guy. Just be wary that **** will start to go haywire towards the last 20-30% of his hp, so be sure to retreat to a safer spot in case you need to heal. He will start summoning a huge snake attack at some points and other caster stuff, be aware to not get hit while putting the last hits on him.

Even though it's easily my least favorite mandatory boss in the game, it still think it has an interesting gimmick.
It's only really hard when you have to deal with all the three, but you want to keep them alive, and get them all to 30%, so you don't have to deal with three of them in phase 2 for any longer than you have to.

These guys gave me absolute hell my first run as a str build. Turns out they're a complete joke if you invest in skl since they're so easy to parry. Saved the pyro for last and just 100-0'd him with R1 spam before he could even summon.

The annoying part of this boss is actually traveling to it again after dying, I had more trouble getting to it than actually beating it (although I had died a couple of times in the boss). I parried the first shadow over and over and so did the second.

I just beat these guys, it took me about 30 tries, first time playing Bloodborne, no summon, lv. 51. My advice, kill the fireball guy last (let it with at least 40% hp or they will summon the giant snakes even being two of them alive), he is the easier to kill and if you are fast he won't even summon the snakes.

Have Impunity rune equipped, summon both Henryk and Younger Madaras Twin before entering (both should join you), annihilate.

For me they started summoning the huge snakes even when there were still 2 of them. both of their health bars were quite low so maybe it just happens when they lose an amount of hp equivalent to 2 hp bars.

Summoned Younger Madaras Twin for this fight. YMT took on two of them and I lured one out for a 1v1. By the time I beat my shadow, YMT had already killed one and was finishing off the last one. He probably could have taken out all three by himself.

Good strat is to make sure you have both hunter summons available for this battle and equip bolt paper. The summons are mainly canon fodder, but do a fair bit of damage as well, allowing you to focus on one Shadow at a time.

A proper scary gank, but it's really manageable if you're careful. For one, there's tons of cover from the ranged fire stuff, and most importantly, they all have different levels of aggression. If you can successfully single them out like you're their middle school bully, they go down pretty fast. F*ck the giant floor-snakes though, noclip having ass sekiro wannabes

I thought this boss was pretty hard to be honest. You don’t have a lot of window to strike and the shadows become more powerful as the fight goes on. Got it in five attempts but I was out of Blood vials and almost out of HP
Latest lore theory is that "Shadows of Yharnam" is Yharnam's premier Black Metal band and the reason they're so pissed is that you interrupted the recording of their latest album -- "Silhouettes In The Mist". Source: my ass

Weaken the pyromancer a bit. Kite the other two. Finish the aggressive katana wielder off Quickly. Then the mage. Stay on the candle fire breather, as he tends to sidestep more than attack. Saving him for last helps keep the big snake summon from going off.

If you can parry well, you should take out the aggressive melee guy first. If not, target the caster as he has the least health, then kite the other two, but watch the extended reach. They're harder to parry in snake form as they're more likely to stagger you from far away before you can get a visceral
In my 20+ playthroughs of this game they have never dropped blood rapture just a madmans knowledge.

I think the reason you don’t gain insight upon entering the arena is because the shadows appear as normal humans and only show their true forms after the fight has begun.

One of the easiest boss-fights in the game if you're adept at parrying. Just parry the katana-guy first, then the dude with the candle and falchion and leave the weakest, aka the pyromancer last. Just try to make sure that while there's more than one ringwraith alive that you keep the giant gravestone between you and the mage and reposition when needed.

I found taking out the FireCaster first is the best, as the other two will chase you, while the FireCaster will stay back, so you can lure the two others away from the FireCaster, and hit some heavy damage into him. Then I took out the fast katana dude, and lastly the candle guy. By doing this I beat them first try!

I treated these guys as a crowd control problem, after dying in about 5 seconds on my first try LOL. Threaded whip in whip mode with bolt paper in the early phase -- it kept them at a distance and gave me enough time to dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge...Then I dodged some more and used the rocks to try and get them to cluster up. I got more aggressive when one of the melee guys died and I had more room to breathe. The whip has such good range that I managed to outspace the remaining melee guy most of the time. Then when he died I charged in and pounded the caster into the ground. He got off a summon but I think RNG was in my favor, because I managed to roll under it and finish him off. Level 56, though, with a +6 Threaded whip and carefully stacked blood gems. Overleveled? Not sure, but I ran through a couple other areas completely by accident before this one...so leveling happened naturally, I guess. Love this fight. The music is badass, too :D

Best strat I've found is to just patiently wait for visceral attack opportunities on the two sword guys. Once the fire caster is alone, he goes down real easy. Use your surroundings to split them up and get the sword guys alone, like the big stone wall to the right of the arena entrance.

It says "they're" strong to arcane, but it's just one of them who is. Even if "they" all are, I still summoned the two hunters and spammed the augur over and over, works every time.
This is a gank fight done right! These three sinister figures synergize with each other in a superb manner. They're very forgiving with their openings when it's time to attack them and parrying them feels so right to decrease their aggression meter. Other than the long runback to this boss, I think FromSoft nailed it when it comes to this boss battle.
