Assault on the Abyss

The main objectives in the Abyss are main quests in which an original story unfolds, guild quests accepted in the guild headquarters and collecting relics. The main character has three attributes: “physical strength”, “abundance” and “stamina”. Both abundance and stamina are reduced when trading. Stamina recovers automatically, but to restore satiety you need to eat. It is important to eat regularly to maintain satiety, as stamina cannot be restored when satiety is at zero.

— The Abyss raid requires avoiding hazards such as wild creatures and unstable terrain. When defeated by a large creature, they exhibit a devastating “game-over” performance.

In addition to the three statuses, the player must consider numerous other factors when raiding the Abyss, including the environment, the main character’s health, the amount of food remaining, the durability of tools, and the weight of supplies. The player must be mindful of these factors and act appropriately, whether deciding to continue the heist, return to the surface, and sometimes even what to bring back.

—Carrying too much reduces movement speed significantly and costs the ability to build mines or attack.

return

After the raider has achieved his objective in the Abyss, he must return to the surface. However, the further the raider descends, the more intense the effects of The Curse of the Abyss, physical and mental strains, as they return to the surface. The raider may vomit, experience a significant decrease in bloating, or spurt blood from their body, causing a reduction in bloating and stamina. In addition to Abyssal Curse, they may be attacked by creatures, the terrain may have changed, or traits that were present on the way down may not be available on the way back, forcing them to take a different route back to find.
