While exploring the Karl’s Bay district in Deathloop you may have come across a machine called The Yerhva. Interacting with it reveals 10 different questions that each have eight different answers you can pick. This can make it difficult to complete in one go if you don’t know where to start.
Even though you can loop back another time after getting a question wrong, there are better alternatives. First, you can obviously use our guide below and see the answer to every question. Because I spent the time figuring out each one to help you out. Otherwise, you can search all of Blackreef for books titled, “How Well Do YOU Know Blackreef?”
These books tend to have two trivia facts about Blackreef, the world Deathloop takes place in. However, it can be tough to find every answer if you don’t know where to look. That’s why I recommend taking a peek at our list below. And make it easier on yourself.
The Yerhva Trivia Answers in Deathloop
If you plan on winging it with your Yervha answers, you’ll probably end up with lights like these.
Before checking the answers below and rushing through, there’s one important disclaimer to mention. While our questions are labeled in number order below, the question order changes every loop. This means question number 1 for me isn’t necessarily the same as question number 1 for you.
So make sure you compare each Yerhva question below with the one you’re currently working on. With that said, the answer numbers are always the same for each question. So you can still use the answer numbers we’ve provided below.

The Yervha Reward For Answering All 10 Questions
After all that time searching for clues on the lore behind Blackreef, you get nothing, good day sir.
Unfortunately, even if you answer all 10 questions correctly, you don’t really get much. Since The Yerhva is a trivia machine, you get another fact as a reward. The following audio message below plays after correctly answering every question.
“Bravo bravo, your mind is overflowing with bountiful knowledge stranger. The Yerhva will now reveal the greatest secret of all. My prodigious provenance.
“Did you know that these automatons were made at the turn of the century in a small workshop on Blackreef. This is the only surviving specimen that we know of. It has been thoroughly refurbished by Charlie Montague. And immortalized as part of the AEON program entertainment module.”
After hearing that Charlie Montague fixed up The Yerhva, it’s not that surprising why one of the question answers is a little odd. It took me a while to crack Question 6 above about what transcendent work towers above the island’s artistic pursuits. Who would have guessed, “The nose, chin, and eyes of Charlie Montague”?
That’s all there is to this Deathloop guide on The Yervha trivia questions. If you have any other questions for me, feel free to comment below for further help. I’ll do my best to get back to you and help if I can. More guides are currently in the works.
