Lost Ark: Abyssal Dungeons Complete Guide

With its four years on the Russian and Korean servers, Lost Ark has been able to offer extensive content in Europe since its release in early 2022. While core content is doable solo, primary content in Lost Ark requires group play, much like the Abyss Dungeons.

Abyss Dungeons come in the form of traditional dungeons, with monster packs and several bosses, including a final boss. Abyss dungeons are complex, and the boss mechanics cannot be ignored to overcome them.

While Chaos Dungeons and Guardian Raids are the core content of Lost Ark, Abyssal Dungeons kick the difficulty up a notch. Indeed, Tier 3 Abyss dungeons are a real challenge. This complete guide aims to explain to you the reasons why you should venture into the abyss!

What is an Abyss Dungeon?

The dungeons of the abyss come in a reasonably classic form, which can be reminiscent of the dungeons of World of Warcraft or TESO. The difference is that you can only enter each Abyss dungeon in your tier once a week.

Unlike Chaos Dungeons and Guardian Raids, Chaos Dungeons are done in groups, and you cannot enter them alone. It must be said that these are much more challenging and punitive than the primary content, and each failure will send you back to square one.

Before returning, preparation is an essential step since you will not be able to modify your equipment or even your grenades once inside. In addition, your F1 potions will be unusable, and your base potions will be limited.

Abyss Dungeons are accessible from a certain gear level for each gear tier. Here is the complete list of Abyss Dungeons:

Once the boss mechanics are understood and handled, Abyssal Dungeons offer much higher-quality rewards than those fetched from single-player content.

What are the rewards for Abyss Dungeons?

The abyssal dungeons offer a more than attractive loot table, including equipment materials, engraving books, and above all, abyssal materials.

Here is the list of items you can get from the Abyss dungeons:

Tier – Equipment level	Rewards (Chest included)
Tier 1 : 340	Destruction Stone Fragments Guardian Stone Fragments Harmonious Leap Stones Fragments of Harmony Knight's Oaths Ability Gems (epic) Maplegendary Engraving Recipes (rare–unusual) Sewing: Basic Design (epic) Metallurgy: Basic Throwing (epic) Gold Accessories (340epic) Equipment (302epic– Cradle of the Necromancer)

In addition to the essential rewards, you will have the possibility of recovering an additional chest in exchange for a few Lost Ark gold coins. This chest contains rewards similar to the basic ones, and it would be a shame to deprive yourself of them.

As you will have understood, the rewards offered by the abyss's dungeons differ by the abyssal materials' presence. These will allow you to make sets of equipment, offering mighty bonuses.

Crafting this equipment in tiers 1 and 2 is not essential, but if you want to optimize yourself at least at tier 3, preparing this equipment is an almost mandatory stop.

Craft Abyssal Equipment

As we mentioned above, the abyssal sets offer bonuses depending on the number of items you have. They are much more potent than traditional sets.

To craft these pieces of equipment, you will need to go to an Abyssal Forger, who will offer you several different sets. Your ability to craft these sets will depend on your tier and the type of Abyss Dungeon you just completed.

To forge the best set corresponding to the last level, you must farm for several weeks. However, given the impressive statistics of the 1370 set, the game is worth the effort.
