: Don't let your success go to your head, Avatar.
The Isle of the Avatar is a fairly desolate place. But
that's sorta to be expected, since the whole thing is sitting on top of
what is essentially hell.
Some Blackrock Arms are sitting at the top of a nearby
cliff.
And, since we forgot to take the Red Candle from Destard,
the developers were kind enough to hide one in an underwater box near the
docks.
...Well, I guess that's everything we need in order to
do this ritual.
There's a demon skull on a pike near the
pentagram.
It makes our base.
Now we season it with some Sulphurous Ash and Spider's
Silk.
The next ingredient the recipe calls for is some
Blackrock. We can use any blackrock, but the idea is that we'd have taken
a chunk from Covetous.
We're ballsy so we're going to sacrifice our Blackrock
chest.
And now the last ingredient, the Red
Candle.
We learned from our last mistake with the Candle of Love,
and can only assume the same thing would happen if we cast Bolt of Flame
on the Candle of Hate, so we use a basic Ignite
spell.
Woo!
Oh god that looked so painful. At least Pyros looked
happy to see us.
Okay. This is it: my favorite part of this
game. The Abyss. It is, perhaps, the only dungeon in this whole pile of
crap that has at least an ounce of creativity put into it. It's also
really fun. In my opinion it's worth playing through the entire game just
to get to this dungeon.
Before we get started, I'm going to
post my crappy MSPaint of the Abyss' overall structure.
It goes like this:
Pyros pulled us down into the
cavern below the Isle of the Avatar by phasing us through the rock and
driving us insane through agony. In the middle of the Lake of Fire area is
a shaft leading down. There are four elemental puzzles that reward us with
four elemental Globes, each of which opens a single portal to an Elemental
Plane. On this Elemental Plane we need to destroy a boss - typically a
fuckoff-huge demon or dragon. Destroying all four elemental guardians
lowers the elemental seal, which lets us climb down into the lower cavern
and beat us up some Blackthorn.
Yay, the Abyss!
