    ​
    Abyss of Shadow - Single Player Map

    To access the Abyss of Shadow map, players must use the Shadow Guide item.

    You will then be teleported to the Abyss Hub. Upon entering, all players have the same statistics and action items are disabled, except those linked to this feature.

    Once in the hub, you can go to the portal, then click on the Portal Gate. You will then enter the Abyss of Shadow map

    On the hub map, you can also accept map quests from Jack Hawk.

    Players will have access to three companions when entering the map, each offering unique abilities:

    • Agoje Mino ("Fighting Companion"): Unlocked from the start, Agoje focuses on attacking NPCs and dealing damage. He uses rockets every 30-60 seconds and follows the behavior pattern
    • Nadira Boro ("Healing Companion"): Unlock with currency. Nadira spawns area-of-effect (AoE) abilities heals the player with small amounts of health per second.
    • Daniel Agawe ("Damage Companion"): Unlockable with currency, Daniel spawns area-of-effect (AoE) abilities that damage NPCs.
    Once unlocked, companions automatically join the player in runs. For specific stats, refer to the NPC table.

    You can purchase stackable buffs for your ship and your companions.

    Buffs, up to three per companion, are stackable and resettable (you will get 50% of the buff coins back).

    The map features Fog of War mechanics, where enemies are weaker in the light.

    You can use lamp oils to extend visibility. Running out of oil leaves players vulnerable in darkness, but oil can be replenished from loot.

    Each wave is harder and is offering progressively better loot from NPCs.

    Players must defeat a set number of NPCs to summon the admiral, whose defeat opens an exit portal to the next map.

    With each run and level, the difficulty ramps up as NPCs become stronger.

    After leaving the map, you can add companions and get them buff by using the currency Shadow Marks that you get as a loot.

    You can end the map by dying, leaving or disconnecting.

    This will bring you back to the Dungeon Hub.

    Whenever you go back to the Abyss Hub, you will begin from map 1, when you enter the dungeon again.
    ​
    Phantom Labyrinth - Mini Game

    Once you have collected enough Ancient Emblems you are able to access the “Phantom Labyrinth” map from the Safe Haven by speaking to Captain Ravenbeard.

    Your view range is drastically reduced on the “Phantom Labyrinth” map, where you find 4 npcs, one Boss and some moving zones which deal damage to you.

    The goal is to kill the Boss, but before you can attack the Boss you have to find and kill the 4 npcs.
    ​
    Phosphorescent Volcano

    The “Phosphorescent Volcano” feature works like the same Volcano feature we had in the past, but with a new cool and nice-looking green glow.

    The Volcano will spawn NPCs which can be attacked. Pumpkin Ammo, Phosphor Ammo and Pumpkin Torpedo will deal increased damage.

    It spawns between the October 29th and November 11th during certain time slots which lasts between 3-6 hours.
    ​
    Circle of Salt - Group Map

    You can join the group maps by speaking to Captain Ravenbeard on the Safe Haven.

    He will offer you two versions of the groupmap, Bloody Battle and Brutal Battle; both of these have the same mechanics however the Brutal Battle is an easier version.

    Within the map, your group of four will encounter Y’kanin, who will constantly move towards players in your group.

    Your goal is to defeat Y’kanin, however, this will not be easy.

    Y'kanin attacks players and when close to you will trap you with a whirlpool.

    Being close to Y’kanin has another downfall, with every piece of damage inflicted to you Y’kanin will regain some of the hitpoints it has lost!

    So keep your distance pirates!

    The map ends when Y’kanin has been defeated or all players have been killed.
