What is the auto-save point in Central Yharnam?
I just started Bloodborne and am having a difficult time getting past the mob of assailants in Central Yharnam.
How far do I have to get in this area to reach an auto-save point? Or is there one?
Also, do I have to clear the entire mob before being able to continue in the map?
Best Answer
To answer your question, you have to beat a 1 of 2 bosses to get your 3rd (2nd if you killed the wolf (first monster) with bare hands) lantern.
However, if you are having trouble getting past the monsters what you should work on is shortcut that links the Central Yharnam lantern and the boss area. It will enable you to get to bosses without losing vials.
If you don't mind spoilers read ahead:
Spoiler Just before the Cleric beast there is a door into a building on the side of the bridge you can open (and travel a bit) to reach and unlock the other gate at the lantern you have right now. If you explore that area you will find a lot more shortcuts. One the sewer paths leads to Father Gascoigne (who in my opinion is an easier boss than the Cleric beast).

Does the game save automatically in Bloodborne?
Bloodborne features a very aggressive auto-save system, and every little thing you do in the game will be recorded. However, there is a safe way to quit the game whenever you want to stop playing. First off, you can save your game anywhere you want.Where do I go after central Yharnam?
While you could ascend the ladder directly outside of the tunnel, and go left to activate the final shortcut in Central Yharnam, in the form of a lift, it's best to bolt it past the pig if you don't wish to kill it now. Sprinting past it, and turning left will lead you to another ladder.Bloodborne Shortcuts - Central Yharnam Shortcut #1 - Gate in Front of Lamp
