Description
A variant of Hell. The map consists of six separated "Hells" that are magically linked and experienced: A flaming hell area filled with an Arc Demon, with giant fire pillars coming from the ground; A sandy area where you acquire the Hippogryph soul; An icy aura part filled with Malachis and Frozen Shades; A blood red aura area (almost looking like a gastric organ) with moving shadows of tortured beings in the background; An outer space area (complete with aurora), filled with a Stolas and Black Panthers; And, finally a spike filled area. One should note that when all areas of The Abyss are linked, a hexagram-like shape is formed on the map. This the game's finishing point, with some of the hardest enemies/enemy combination in the game (Stolas who summons Erinys or Flame Demons constantly is a great danger in small rooms, for example). An extra note is the Boss Abaddon is found in the Abyss is a reference in the Christian Bible's Book of Revelation regarding Abaddon.
It takes on a semblance similar to hell as described in the Holy Bible. The second term for "Abyss" refers to when a player, NPC or enemy, fall into a pit or black hole that's never-ending.
The shape this area takes resembles a six pointed star of which each of its sections do not look connected at any point. However, due to the chaotic nature of this location, it inexplicably teleports you from one sector to another. The surrounding environment in this area changes depending on which section you currently are. The northmost section houses the typical fire and brimstone complete with fire pillars that shoot up from the ground at timed intervals. The other areas include something that looks like the inside of a refrigerator (presumably a reference to where Lucifer/Satan was banished to in the Divine Comedy, as he was sealed away in the deepest area of Hell in ice.), to outer space, to strange quicksand like pits (with oddly placed ear structures with the said sand running out of them), to within a giant colon (?), to a spike ridden lair with elaborate insectoid designs embedded within its walls.
The final section resides within the exact center of the location of which its environment is more twisted than any of the surrounding sections. It is here that the final battle ensues. (In Julius Mode, the final section of the Abyss is the Throne Room in The Pinnacle).
It should be noted that all sections (save for the top right section) of this area have 6 rooms each. The northeast section has an extra room, the room needed to warp to the center of the area to fight Menace. With the addition of Menace's room, the count reaches 38, however, it should also be noted that this room does not appear on the map and does not count toward your exploration rate counter on the menu screen.
