How to Get into Phior Village of L’yehr in Chained Echoes

The secret Village is one of the spots where you will obtain one of the twelve Souls of Farnese. These are used to infuse with the Rusty Weapons of Chained Echoes. You need to find the Flying Smithy and Blacksmith, Vaehl who will combine the Rusty Weapons and Souls of Farnese in creating the Ultimate variation. There are two methods to access the secret Village of Arkant Archipelago. One via its Undergound entrance, although it is guarded and the other in a passageway through water.

There is a guard at the door but with your maximum ranking of the Base you will be able to get in.

Purchasing the Diving Bell

Alternatively, players can get into Village L’yehr via the Whirlpool in the south-west area of Arkant Archipelago. You are required to use a Diving Bell here. To get one you need to find the secret Mechant in Ograne Grottos east. However to get here you first need to acquire the Elevator Key for Raminas Tower. This is located in Nhysa Magic Academy. Head to the north-west side of the Courtyard and enter the room on the left. There is a note with the location of the Flying Smithy and the Key in the chest on the right-hand side. You need to go to 8F of the Raminas Tower via the Elevator Room which only takes you to 1F. From here, fight your way until you make it to the exit, taking you to an unseen area of Ograne Grotto.

Head south-west from the Ograne Grottos entrance as if you are heading towards the Baalrut Tunnels but go south from its entrance. The Merchant can be found here where you can purchase the Diving Bell. You need to then take it to the Whirlpool and drop it. Gaining access to the Village of L’yehr.
