Aion: How to get into the Abyss

Aion The Tower of Eternity is a visually stunning MMORPG that has thousands upon thousands of people talking across the globe. First going live in Korea, then following with a grand showing in China, the Aion game has now made it global and quest help is needed more than ever. There are many different areas and zones inside Aion The Tower of Eternity and even more non-player characters (NPCs) running around offering a multitude of questing options. It is easy to get confused and lost within this new world.

It is important to understand how to navigate through the world and the different options Aion provides players. Tapping the “j” key will allow quick access to the Quest Log. There are little boxes next to the quests inside the log that you can put a check mark in. This little check mark allows for the quest to be seen on the right hand side of the screen. With this option you can review details of the quest or check progress. If a full detail view of the quest is needed again there is a small arrow on the right side of the quest that you can click on the screen and it will open your log again.

Inside almost every quest is a link that players can click. This link is usually the name of a NPC or place within the game. Clicking this

link will open a map that gives players a location of the place they are looking for. Tapping “m” opens the regular map and “n” opens a clear map that allows players to still play the game while seeing where they are heading.

Take a walk into the world of Aion and get ready to be impressed.

The Abyss is an area of Aion that both factions; Elyos and Asmodian, must complete a series of quests to enter. Each faction has their own base within the Abyss to gather together as one race and decide upon the best war tactics and attack strategies. There are 3 sections to the Abyss that characters can visit and quest upon; an upper portion, core, and lower portion. Each section is accessible from each other through the many portals.

The Balaur also roam the Abyss and both Elyos and Asmodians alike must face their wrath. The Abyss offers PvP and PvE opportunities for leveling. Upon reaching level 25 each character in Aion will receive a quest that will begin the series that eventually takes them to the Abyss. Each race’s quest series is 4 quests in total.

There are 3 entrances to the Abyss for each faction:
