Read no further if you don't want spoilers.



For those who've played other versions of Aion this is trivial knowledge. It only matters because many view CB4 as primarily a chance to experience the abyss for the first time, so it would be somewhat counterproductive for them to be stomped by the abyss entry quest and spend hours trying to do it, given the limited time frame.

Once you reach lv25, IIRC, the abyss entry mission opens up automatically. You're given a choice of three tasks to perform. Unless they REALLY "Westernized" it, the easiest task to do is the one that sends you to the capital city's arena. The other two choices are harder or at least more time-consuming, including one that involves rifting into enemy territory. Even after you've chosen the task you can abandon it and pick another one.

BTW after you finally get there, take the time to go through the tutorial mission about the abyss.



An interesting thought: would it be fun to be a bastard and keep PKing those trying to do the arena task? I've never seen it happen but who knows.

you mean the quest where you have to go to the arena in pand? it happened in 2nd beta, people were trying to complete it and people kept killing them

thanks for the information, i`m only level 19, and not having the time - even all this weekend - i probably won`t reach sufficient level to get into the Abyss, much as i`d like to, i`ll be taking notes of this info, for my future departure for the abyss,
thanks again for the info... and kill some for me :)

Yea I made it on the 20th attempt or so. At least I hope I did cause when the beta shut down I was by the guy. Thought it was smart.

Well... none of us got to 25.. soooo none of us were able to do the Abyss quest. I don't think anyone was able to complete this quest at all.. seeing as it doesn't open up until 25 right? So not sure what you guys mean when you said you were able to complete it some how.

A lot of people will fail their abyss quest the first time around. A LOT of people will QQ about it no doubt. Still, unless they have changed it drastically then it's going to be a beast to complete for some people. Another thing I would recommend is to buff your flight time as much as possible via whatever gear you can get and pots and scrolls etc. It is VERY useful in the abyss and the abyss quest.

Getting to the abyss isn't all lollipops and sunshine, they actually make you work a little for it. I find this rather unique, albeit frustrating if you keep failing :p. At least you know that when you get out there, you didn't just cheese your way there.

Awesome, thanks for the help!

[Anitox]

Ok, So i'm on the lvl 25 entry quest to get into the abyss and I'm on the third part of the Quest which is "Following through" and I think I've chosen the hardest out of three quests given - Golden Helmet of Urgasch- which is in Eltnen in Elysea....My question is ; Do I have to find a rift and travel there? I've tried abandoning the quest but it won't let me! :( Can anyone help with this?

[Ryuzaki]

Nice tip, thnx.

Ok I didn't realise you could change your quest!! I thought it was referring to the abandoning of it on the quests window which it didn't allow but you actually have to return to the NPC and change the quest yourself...So to any that have chosen the third quest to do with the helmet and have found it rather difficult then change quests if you wish...Hope this helps people in the same position as me :)

What? Did I miss something? I ran around in Pandemonium a bit and talked to people, went into a solo instance and killed some mobs with hardly any hp and then flew through some rings. It was easy. So long as you choose the arena option and pay attention to the markings on each ring and watch the cutscene its actually pretty cake.

I agree that it isn't that hard. I just took the wrong quest and I wasn't very good with the rings tehe. I pretty much did everything wrong that Kawaii mentioned :sigh: but other than that it was easy

[Kawaii]

lol yeah I failed the fly part the first run through because I couldn't find the 3rd ring, doh.
Its pretty easy though once you figure out where they're all at ^_^
and its true any other option beside the arena is a pita unless you are wanting to run around a lot or do an infiltration quest.

Umm I don't really want to say how many times I failed.....:...:The third ring was confusing I kept getting lost since the ring was way down to my right so I ended up drawing a map of where they all were tehe

[Kawaii]

Haha well atleast you found a method that worked for you rather then mindlessly throwing yourself at it for an hour then ragequitting and posting on the boards about going back to Xgame cause Aion sucks <_<
Can you tell I hate those threads?

[Valmaria]

Oh yes I can tell :) You have a good point beacause those people just annoy me aswell...It's nice though that it makes you work for it ..Entering the abyss I mean because I felt proud that I made it :) especially in the beta
