Gates of the Abyss

Overview

Gates of the Abyss is one of Forsaken World's endgame raids — an endgame raid located at the gates of the underworld. Themed around demonic incursions, with multiple boss phases requiring coordinated mechanics. Gates of the Abyss is a popular raid for pre-cap raid groups — drop tier slightly below Hand of Storms but accessible to slightly less-geared players.

This article covers entrance requirements, encounter mechanics, drop tables, and progression strategy. For broader endgame planning, see World Bosses and Arena.

Journey through the Gates of the Abyss

Your journey in the world of Eyr has just begun, but once you reach level 30, you are challenged by the dark side of power. You are invited to penetrate the Abyss and punish the arrogant minions of Dokaru Lunar - the Nagas! This adventure is not easy, but the reward will be worth it. Gather a team of brave heroes and march towards victory over the dark side!

General Description

The Gates of the Abyss is part of the Challenge Expedition I. You can enter it with a certain probability by applying for the "Random Challenge Expedition I" in the party window, accessed via the hotkey "T" or the

button in the main menu. Successfully completing the expedition this way grants additional rewards.

NPC Bifur, located in the Winemakers' Village, Eldaram, can also send you to the Gates of the Abyss (requires a group of 2 or more players). However, completing the expedition this way does not provide additional rewards. The advantage of entering through the NPC is that it does not consume patience points, unlike the Random Challenge Expedition.

The Gates of the Abyss is designed for characters above level 30. During the expedition, you will face 4 different bosses, defeating whom will earn you level 30 blue equipment, Lionheart Knight Tokens, which can be exchanged for parts of the novice hero set (suitable for characters level 30-60), and a large number of star shards to enhance this equipment. Star shards also drop from mobs encountered between bosses. Throughout the expedition, you can find deposits of first, second, and third-level ores and herbs, which you can mine to increase your mining and herbalism profession levels.

Walkthrough

If your character's level is low (30+), and your skills are lacking, follow these recommendations:

• Have a healer in the party - Priest, Bard, Vampire;
• Have a tank character - Protector, Warrior, Reaper;
• Include ranged and AoE damage dealers - Mage, Shooter, Assassin;
• Repair equipment and stock up on HP and MP potions before the expedition;
• Always defeat mobs before approaching bosses.

Following these recommendations will significantly increase your chances of successfully completing the expedition.

Upon entering the dungeon, you will see a familiar landscape of the Winemakers' Village in Eldaram. However, behind you is the "Mnemonic Stone of Exit," surrounded by mist, indicating that you cannot pass through. Ahead, monsters are attacking dwarves! These are the Toad Minions. You can help the dwarves or carefully bypass them. At the foot of the mountain, you will encounter the first boss - Redeye.

Redeye

Redeye is a three-headed lizard, the first obstacle in your path. It is surrounded by mobs that will attack when you are nearby. The boss has an area attack, so the tank should turn it away from the group. Periodically, the boss will enter a frenzy or defense state. The system will notify you, and a buff icon will appear on Redeye. In frenzy, the boss's attacks become stronger, but its defense decreases; in defense, attacks weaken, but its defense strengthens. After defeating it, continue up the mountain.

Tamer of the Furry

Ascending the mountain, you reach a small platform where the second boss, the Tamer of the Furry, awaits. When attacked, his not-so-friendly pet, Furry, will appear and attack those threatening its master. To calm it temporarily, collect and use Rotten Meat Pieces from the battlefield. Using the Tamer of Flesh causes dizziness in Furry but does not affect the Tamer of the Furry.

Furry cannot be killed; when its health drops below 50%, the main villain, Dokaru Lunar, will fully heal it. Therefore, stun Furry with meat and attack the Tamer of the Furry. After its death, Furry's aggression will cease, and NPC Furry will appear to guide your team to new enemies.

Kin the Ancient Zombie

To reach the third boss, you must overcome its minions, undead pirates, who will slow you down with shots. It is recommended to bypass them along the left side of the location. Ranged characters have an advantage here, as the strong slowdown complicates quick elimination for melee characters. The real challenge begins with the third boss - Kin the Ancient Zombie.

This is the most difficult boss. Its main feature is a negative effect that drains 1.3% of maximum health per second after being near the boss for a few seconds. This effect cannot be removed, so support characters must actively heal the tank. Ranged characters can attack from a distance, while melee characters should retreat after a few hits. If your priest is strong, retreating may not be necessary. After defeating Kin, a swirling portal will teleport your team to the next stage.

Dokaru Lunar

To reach Dokaru Lunar, you must traverse a long distance filled with moving whirlwinds that slow you down if caught. Many nagas will attack you along the way. It is recommended for the party to stay together.

Killing each naga grants the team the "Shalia's Blessing" buff, increasing attack by 200 and maximum health by 600, stacking up to 20 times. Killing 20 nagas provides a total increase of 4000 attack and 12000 health, aiding in the battle with Lunar if your character is low-level and your gear is not well-upgraded. Dokaru Lunar stands on a small platform accessible via a half-destroyed bridge. When the boss's health reaches 40%, she will disappear, threatening future revenge. A chest will appear in her place, containing your reward.

This concludes the expedition.

Resources

In addition to regular ores and herbs, the Gates of the Abyss features Glowing Moss, which yields Shining Moss. To gather it, you need a level 1 Herbalist profession and a shovel.

• Shining Moss - a resource needed to create special crystals.
