Abyssal Beginner Guide — First Steps in the Abyss

Learn the core loop of Abyssal: checkpoints, Witnesses, AE orbs, and reaching Floor 2.

Overview

Learn the core loop of Abyssal: checkpoints, Witnesses, AE orbs, and reaching Floor 2.

Follow the steps below for detailed instructions. A video walkthrough is included at the bottom of this page when available.

Prepare the recommended Witness abilities before attempting this content. Stock AE by collecting orbs along the route.

Activate checkpoints as you progress so failed attempts can restart from nearby teleport points.

For Echo guides, mark collected Echoes in our Echo Progress Tracker to avoid losing track.

What do I need before starting?

Appropriate Witness abilities, sufficient AE, and activated checkpoints on the relevant floor.

Can I do this solo?

Most content is solo-viable with the right build, though co-op Double Jump simplifies several sections.
