Information

The Abyss is a foreboding arena located at the heart of the New Londo Ruins, serving as the battleground for the Four Kings, one of the essential bosses to progress the main story. Accessing the Abyss requires the Covenant of Artorias ring to prevent instant death upon entering the dark void. This requirement extends to summoned allies. After defeating the Four Kings, the ring is no longer necessary.

Reaching the Abyss

  1. Preparation:

    • Equip the Covenant of Artorias ring.
    • Bring Transient Curses to fight ghosts or use a cursed weapon like the Jagged Ghost Blade.
    • Stock up on healing items and repair gear, as New Londo is treacherous.
  2. Drain the Flood:

    • Speak to Ingward to obtain the Key to the Seal or kill him to retrieve it.
    • Use the key to open the floodgate, draining the water in the ruins and revealing new pathways.
  3. Descend the Ruins:

    • Clear out Darkwraiths and ghosts while navigating the now-dry ruins.
    • Reach the spiral staircase leading to the Abyss.
  4. Entering the Abyss:

    • Equip the Covenant of Artorias before jumping from the spiral staircase into the void.
