​

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.
​

The Skull of Penta-Quinte

Once you have collected enough ancient emblems you are able to access the “The Skull of Penta-Quinte” group map from the Safe Haven by speaking to Captain Ravenbeard.

After you choose the role you want to play (“Damage Dealer”, “Healer” and “Tank”) and the team is full you are teleported to the group map.

The goal is to kill Lord Joseph Pyre, which is augmented with extra attacks/abilities by 5 Ritual Stones. Each Ritual Stone has a colored zone about it and spawns 3 Spirits, which are color coded to match one Ritual Stone zone.

You can´t damage the Ritual Stones directly, to destroy them you have to lure and sink 3 correct Spirits in the matching zones.

Not destroying the Ritual Stones adds more loot for the whole encounter.

It´s not possible to join the group map again, when you are sunk.

To finish the group map, you need to defeat Lord Joseph Pyre.

You will gain ranking points for defeating him, and extra ranking points for every Ritual Stone left alive.
​

Bloody/Brutal Battle Group Maps

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.
