Love And Deepspace unveils yet another shady zone within the N109, Charon. This time, you’ll be investigating the whereabouts of a cursed stone that Sylus would like to purchase. In the process, you may even uncover why Sylus is so intent upon buying this odd rock. Could it be that this little heirloom is more than meets the eye?
Abyssal Splendor is a multi-stage investigation event that takes you on a journey through the heart of Charon alongside Sylus, your trusty protector and (un)friendly tour guide. During the event, you can earn special event memories and even test Sylus’s new combat companion, Sylus: Abysm Sovereign.
The event only runs from
December 02 to 4:59 December 16
. All items and rewards in the event
will not be attainable
outside of the event window.
How To Start The Event
To start the Abyssal Splendor event, navigate to the events tab. The event should trigger the moment you enter the events tab and will throw you straight into the event prologue.
Abyssal Splendor accompanies the limited-time myth Wish Pool, Where Drakeshadows Fall. As you complete stages of Abyssal Splendor, you will earn rewards and memories that tie into the storyline of Sylus’s second myth story,
How To Complete Gem Hunting Stages
The main portion of the event revolves around completing Gem Hunting stages. Gem Hunting stages are investigations similar to those in Island Secrets and Chansia Journey in that they are small snippets of text conversations. In this case, the text is also accompanied by a story-board style illustration of the events.
There are two sets of stages in Gem Hunting. The first is Charon: East and the second is Charon: West. Both East and West Charon have twelve investigation locations to explore.
To enter an investigation stage, you need to
use Tracking Bands.
How To Get Tracking Bands
Tracking Bands are a type of currency that unlocks investigation levels for you to explore. Each level requires one Tracking Band to unlock, so you will need 24 Tracking Bands in total to investigate all areas of the event.
To get Tracking bands, you must reach certain Encrypted Keycard milestones in the Event Tasks tab.
Every few hundred or few thousand Encrypted Keycards you collect will grant you one Tracking Band. This may take a few days to accomplish, but you can earn around nine to ten Tracking Bands on the first day of the event if you are diligent about completing Event Tasks.
How To Unlock Story Stages
There are three Story Stages in Abyssal Splendor. The first one is the prologue you played through upon entering the event. To unlock stages two and three, you need to complete all investigations in Charon: East and Charon: West respectively.
You can
revisit the event stories
from the Love Timeline in Sylus’s
With Him menu, but cannot
revisit individual investigation stages.
Charon: East
There are twelve investigation locations in Charon: East, each requiring one Tracking Band to complete. Each stage is either a single image or a short dialogue of around six chat bubbles accompanied by an image.
Once you have completed all investigations in Charon: East, you will trigger chapter two of the event story. You will also receive a comic-book-style collage of all the investigation photos.
Charon: West
Charon: West also has twelve locations to investigate, each one following the same formatting as those in Charon: East. After completing all stages in Charon: West, you will trigger the third and final event story.
You will also receive the four-star memory, Sylus: Bloodnight Drift after completing both districts of Charon. There are two more event-specific memories to collect.
How To Complete Companion Rehearsal
Since Abyssal Splendor runs alongside the Wish Pool for Sylus’s new myth memories, it provides an opportunity to play-test Sylus’s new combat companion, Sylus: Abysm Sovereign.
In Companion Rehearsal, you will learn each of the new combat skills Abysm Sovereign and the player character can use in battle.
You will be able to experiment with the new weapon, Fiend Reaper, and practice your combat strategies with Abysm Sovereign so that you are prepared to use him in a real battle.
You can’t use Sylus: Abysm Sovereign unless you have
pulled both Sylus: Abyssal Mark and Sylus: Abyssal Blossom
from the Where Drakeshadows Fall Wish Pool. You can navigate to the event pool by
selecting the Wish icon
in the main event UI.
After you complete Companion Rehearsal, you will earn the memory, Sylus: Bloodnight Blaze. You can earn more copies of both Sylus: Bloodnight Blaze and Sylus: Bloodnight Drift from Galaxy Explorer explorations after the event has ended.
Event Tasks And Rewards
Like with most events, Abyssal Splendor has associated Event Tasks to complete. These tasks range from pulling event memories from the associated event pool (in this case, Where Drakeshadows Fall) to simply logging into the event UI once a day.
As you complete your Event Tasks, you will earn Encrypted Key Cards to be spent in the Deal Shop. Encrypted Keycard milestones also grant you more Tracking bands to use in Charon: East and West.
You will need several thousand Encrypted Keycards to unlock all investigation stages in Charon. But don’t worry, you’ll be able to spend these keycards on valuable resources and event-limited loot in the Deal Shop.
Deal Shop
The Deal Shop is a special event shop that will disappear once Abyssal Splendor has come to an end. You can purchase the event background music, an Awakening Heart: SSR, stickers, Ascension Crystal Boxes, a fully-ranked three-star memory (Sylus: Reckless Living), and more.
With so many days in the event and a
plethora of Event Tasks
to complete, you can
easily procure more money
than needed to
purchase all the limited items
in the event shop.
Current And Upcoming Events
Currently, the Wish Pool Where Drakeshadows Fall runs alongside Abyssal Splendor. You can draw both of Sylus’s myth memories from this pool between December 02 and December 16.
You
cannot play Sylus’s new myth
without having pulled
at least one copy of both
myth memories!
Pulling one
memory will only allow you to
play half of the chapters
in the myth storyline. Each memory is also part of a
powerful Memory Pair
that grants you
useful stat boosts
in combat when equipped together.
A new World Underneath Story, Mischief, was also released with the update containing Abyssal Splendor. It follows the twins, Luke and Kieran on their typical mischievous adventures. You can read this new story from the World Underneath Tab in the main story menu.
From 5:00 December 07 to 4:59 December 17, an event offering a free five-star Xavier memory will be released. This investigation event will coincide with the release of the next chapter of Xavier’s main story branch.
