Since the Abyss tuning quests are pretty tricky, I had to use some Aion strategy guides to figure out the easiest way to access the Abyss. It is very important for any player to start the Abyss quest chain to enter this area because all the quests here give you good XP and also Abyss Points (AP). Most of the mobs are good for grinding as they have a rich loot table, plus they give more XP than the creatures from the areas outside of the Abyss.
As a regret, I have been working through some Aion strategy guides to benefit from all the information available in the Abyss quest chain. Therefore, in this article I am going to describe the 4 phases of this Asmodian faction quest.
1. In the first phase of the Abyss Attunement quest chain, you will work on the “Hone Your Skills” quest. Go to the capital city of Asmodian, Pandemonium and talk to Balder, located in the Great Temple of Pandemonium. It will redirect you to Therf, in the Triniel Coliseum. Continue the search and return to Balder. As you complete “Hone Your Skills” you will receive a reward of 10k XP and 250 AP.
2. Accept “General Knowledge of the Abyss” from Balder. He will send you to the Temple of Knowledge to meet 3 other NPCs, Phosphor, Moreinen and Kushar. Each NPC will ask you 3 questions and for each question you will be given a list of 3 very obvious answers. After finishing all 3 trial trials, you will be sent to the National Assembly building to talk to Kvasir and complete the “General Knowledge of the Abyss” quest.
3. The third part of the quest chain is “Follow Up”. He must talk to Aegir, located in the Morheim Ice Fortress, and to Gram, inside the Triniel Coliseum in Pandemonium. You will be given 3 quests and as the Aion strategy guides pointed out to me, the one that requires killing Morheim creatures is the easiest to complete, so pick that one. For this step, you need to kill 3 Guzzlin Kurin and 3 Dark Lake Spirits in Salintus Desert, and also 3 Klaw Lookers found in Mushpel Gate. Then head back to Aegir and finish the quest. You will receive a reward of 10k Kinah, a nice Manastone, and 250 AP.
4. The last part of the Abyss Access String quest is “The Last Checkpoint”. You accept this quest from Aegir after finishing “Following” and you will be sent to speak with Yornduf in the Frost Fortress of Morheim. Yornduf will give you 1:40 minutes to fly through 6 portals, which is pretty easy. To finish this quest, talk to Yornduf again, report to Aegir. Congratulations! Now you can enter the Abyss.
The Aion strategy guides I have been working with helped me not only with my Abyss Attunement Quest. They have also helped me improve my leveling speed, giving me great leveling paths, for Asmodians and Elyos. So if any players are having problems with their progress in Aion Online, I highly recommend these guides.
