Introduction

The following guide takes the player through the combat of the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Into the Abyss Expansion with as little effort as possible. It can be started after completing

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Impending Darkness Event

but it's recommended TotH.svg Throne of the Herald and AoD.png Atlas of discovery are completed first.

Frequent skill swapping is a lot more important than in Melvor Logo.svg base game, so if you are struggling to progress try leveling some non-combat skills first.

Skill Trees are also extremely important, make sure you are acquiring the buffs as those points come in to make progression significantly faster.

This Guide is NOT designed with the Ancient Relics Game Mode in mind. Players looking for more information about that Game Mode should visit the Ancient Relics Guide.

A simplistic order for completing combat:

  1. Error creating thumbnail: File missing

  2. Error creating thumbnail: File missing

How Into the Abyss affects Combat

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Abyssal Damage

Reversed Combat Triangle

In the Abyssal Realm, the direction of the Combat Triangle is reversed. Note that if your

is reduced by the enemy's 'Abyssal Intimidation' passive, the combat triangle is applied last.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Combat Simulator

Because the combat mechanics in this expansion are rather complex, and minor changes in enemy, equipment and player stats can make specific items better or worse it is always recommended to use the Combat Simulator to verify how to get the most kills per hour or drops per hour.

Stats and Buffs

Having progressed through TotH.svg Throne of the Herald and AoD.png Atlas of discovery combat will make

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Into the Abyss significantly easier. This is due to TotH.svg Throne of the Herald powerful starting potions from

bonuses,

bonuses and

familiars. AoD.png Atlas of discovery also has many benefits such as the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Points of Interest added which give many useful combat buffs, some of the

Make sure to run in Combat Simulator to find out what to use! These are just recommendations.
