Abyss

Created by forbidden necromantic magic during the age of the Precursors, the Abyssal have been biding their time underground. Now, obeying the will of their General, they are emerging from the depths through fissures spreading across all of Wraeclast. Fight this ancient evil, seal the fissures.

Storyline

• There are now large Abyss cracks on the atlas. Completing Atlas Abysses will close them and always give you an Abyssal Depths with a boss fight.
• The Abyss Atlas Tree has been revamped with many new nodes and changes to existing nodes.
• Kulemak's Invitation is now always allocated to the Map owner.
• Abyss Omens no longer drop in areas below level 65.
• Modifiers to the number of chests found now apply to Chests found in Abyss. These also apply to the chance to find an Abyssal Depths, so the chance to find an Abyssal Depths does not decrease with more chests in the area.
• Adjusted the damage of the Meteoric Demise Abyss Monster modifier.
• Lithomantic Runes from the Lithomantic Runes Abyss Monster modifier are now active after a longer Delay.

Seal the Abyss

In your travels throughout Wraeclast you will encounter fissures in the ground, sapping the life force of the monsters above. Slaying these monsters will trigger the Abyssal to emerge, enhanced with extra necromantic abilities from those who power they were draining. You will need to defeat them to close the Abyss.

Abysses increase in size, power and variety as you go through the game. Closing them will reveal Abyssal troves with valuable items, and sometimes allow you to travel underground to engage with the Abyssal directly.

Harness the Well of Souls

As you close the Abysses, you may find ancient bones that can be used to imbue your items with abyssal magic, adding hidden Abyssal modifiers. Using the Well of Souls, which you discover in Act Two, you can reveal the Desecrated modifier and choose to transform it by selecting one of three different options. During the campaign this allows you to more easily craft additional regular mods onto your items.

New Bosses and a New Pinnacle

During the endgame, new and powerful mods that were not previously possible to craft will be unlocked.The Well of Souls can also affect your Waystones, granting new modifiers that will push difficulty and rewards to new heights

Delve into the Abyssal Depths, swarming with legions of the undead and guarding powerful rewards. Discover an ominous Ancient Spire and challenge the Abyssal commanders in their attempt to plunge Wraeclast into a lightless void.
