Abyssus Ability Mods
This guide provides a detailed walkthrough for unlocking every ability available in the 1.0 version of Abyssus. Each ability is tied to a specific act, stage, or hidden location, so careful exploration is key to collecting them all.
Turret – The Autonomous Ability
Find the Autonomous Ability by defeating the boss of the abandonded temple.
- Reward: Turret
- Location: Act 1, Stage 4 (Depth 4)
- How to Unlock: Defeat the boss at the end of Stage 4. The Turret ability will appear in the post-boss area.
The Turret is designed for automated offense, allowing you to deploy a stationary weapon that continuously attacks nearby enemies. It’s one of the earliest abilities you can acquire.
Anchor – The Mighty Ability
Find the Mighty Ability by unlocking the treasury.
- Reward: Anchor
- Location: Act 2
- How to Unlock: While traveling between encounters, watch for a locked door in a transition zone. Use a key to unlock it and claim the Anchor ability.
The Anchor grants powerful, impact-focused capabilities, making it ideal for players who prefer strong, decisive attacks.
Ancient Core – The Ancient Ability
Find the Ancient Ability by collecting 6 artifacts.
- Reward: Ancient Core
- Location: Pregame Lobby – Trophy Room
How to Unlock:
- Locate the Trophy Room entrance, which sits directly opposite the workbench, beyond the Soul Upgrade Wheel.
- Collect 6 Artifacts to access the room. Artifacts are earned by completing in-game challenges.
- Once inside, the Ancient Core can be obtained.
Tip: If you’ve completed multiple runs or progressed past Act 2, you likely already have enough artifacts to open the room.
Brine Field – The Protective Ability
Find the Protective Ability by ascending the pillars.
- Reward: Brine Field
- Location: Act 3 – Transition or Starting Area
- How to Unlock: Search for the distinctive safe room featuring multiple pillars encircling a bridge. The Brine Field ability is located atop the tallest pillar.
Because Act 3 features multiple safe room appearances, you may encounter this location more than once, increasing your chances of finding it.
