League mechanics: Abyss. Kirac map mods: Area contains 2 additional Abysses(cost: 6 Chaos Orbs). PoE Abyss Scarab : Area contains an additional Abyss. List of PoE Abyss Atlas Tree.
Here’s a breakdown of how to tackle each Abyss encounter you listed:
1. Complete Abysses (0/30):
This is the most straightforward. Simply enter any map and find an Abyss crack on the ground.
Kill all the monsters that spawn from the crack to "complete" the Abyss.
Repeat this process in 30 different maps to finish the challenge.
2. Defeat Rare Abyssal monsters (0/100):
While completing regular Abysses, keep an eye out for Abyssal monsters with a yellow nameplate (rares) and a blue health bar.
These rares are tougher than regular ones but offer better loot.
You need to defeat 100 of these Abyssal rares to complete the challenge.
3. Complete Abysses with 4 pits (0/10):
Focus on finding Abysses that spawn the Stygian Spire (a large black obelisk).
The Stygian Spire shoots projectiles that create chasms (pits) on the ground.
You need to complete 10 Abysses where the Spire spawns and creates 4 pits before it gets destroyed.
Refer to the previous tips I mentioned about managing damage to the Spire to ensure it spawns enough monsters and creates 4 pits.
4. Defeat Stygian Spires (0/5):
This challenge overlaps slightly with the previous one.
You need to defeat 5 Stygian Spires in total.
Follow the tips mentioned earlier to strategically damage the Spire and allow it to spawn enough monsters before destroying it.
Additional Tips:
Use Abyss Scarabs on your maps. These guarantee an Abyss encounter in the map.
Allocate Atlas Passive points that increase the frequency of Abyss encounters.
Play in higher tier maps (if your character can handle them) as they have a higher chance of spawning Abysses with Stygian Spires.
By following these steps and focusing on these specific Abyss encounters, you should be able to complete all the challenges you listed.
