"Father Nikolai founded this sleepy village, and others soon followed. Now, danger lurks in the surrounding wilderness and threatens Wygol's tranquility."

— In-game description

Wygol Village is a location in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. Aside from Ecclesia, this is the only enemy-free area in the game. Wygol has some houses and inhabitants (that Shanoa must rescue throughout the game) who will give Shanoa side missions with rewards. Each villager has different kind of missions, according to his or her personality.

Villagers

Visiting Wygol Village for the first time allows Shanoa to have a conversation with the village founder, Nikolai. She will then be given the task of finding the other twelve villagers who are imprisoned by releasing them from the Torpor glyphs. Rescuing them allows her to receive additional quests and better equipment. Lastly, if all of the thirteen villagers are rescued prior to the events of the Mystery Manor, Shanoa can access Dracula's Castle and finally obtain the good ending of the game.

Other appearances

It's possible that the remnants of the Belmont Clan founded Wygol Village on the site of the town that was burned down during the events of Castlevania: Rondo of Blood because they had a connection to this place. This town may be the same as Jova, which was the first town in Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, and also featured a variety of villagers that could be interacted with.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (series)

Main article: Wygol Village (Lords of Shadow)

The alternate timeline game Castlevania: Lords of Shadow depicted a village called Wygol Village, which was an uncannily frigid town located near the Vampire Castle, which later became Dracula's Castle. It may have become the Cursed Village in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate. The village was later destroyed during the Great Explosion at the end of the Castle Siege in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 in medieval times during the battle between Dracula and Roland de Ronceval. Humans eventually resettled in the areas around Wygol Village and Dracula's Castle, which eventually grew to become a thriving metropolis known as Castlevania City by modern times.

Castlevania (animated series)

In the animated series, Wygol appears on Carmilla's map located near the southwest border of Wallachia, west of Bukharest (today Bucharest, capital of Romania). However, Wygol is never mentioned or shown during the series beyond this appearance.
