The Abyss

Description
The Abyss is an alternate act 3 (and 4!) themed around horrors and aberrations. Once where eldritch and primeval beings were sealed away, the Abyss is now at the heart of their reawakening. And beyond the Abyss is found the Void, where adventurers will face the ultimate test. Together with the Menagerie (act 1) and the Elementarium (act 2), it is part of a full set of alternate acts for Slay the Spire.

Like my other mods, my aim with the Abyss to create a unique experience that is faithful to base game but explores new design space and creates interesting choices. You will find the full set of what you expect in new acts: new encounters, new elites, new bosses, new events, new relics, and new cards.

And this time, it's two acts: in addition to the Abyss, this mod includes the Void, an act 4 that has a new elite and final boss to rival the heart (like the base game, you'll need to collect the three keys to access act 4). Together, the two acts have a balance of new ideas and fights, events, and relics that are inspired by the base game -- and that together with the Menagerie and the Elementarium, provide a full set of alternate acts for Slay the Spire!
  • Navigate a land ravaged by dark powers and terrible behemoths!
  • Wield dark and corrupted power... and pay the price!
  • Find brief peace in secluded shrines and untainted wilderness!
  • Face the onslaught of horrors freed from their chains!
  • Discover ancient crystals that once guarded the land!
  • Experience crossover content with the Menagerie and the Elementarium!
  • Confront the dreadful power within the heart of the void!

Go forth and explore the Abyss!

The Abyss has full Bestiary integration. With Bestiary running, you can Shift+Right+Click enemies to see an overlay explaining their moves. If you like modded acts but want the same knowledge and insight into enemy move patterns as in the base game, this is for you!


This mod was made with Raz’s ActLikeIt API -- make sure you are subbed to it on the Steam Workshop: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1934902042


Thank you to Mega Crit for making such an amazing game, the Slay the Spire modding community for building great support for mods like this, all the other creators of alternate acts for inspiring me to build this, and everyone who helped me playtest.

Thank you to the following contributors for translations:
  • CaptainSnafu (ZHS)
  • zerosiki__ (KOR)

Check out my other mods too!
  • Corrupt the Spire (adds variety and challenge through a new corrupted room mechanic)
  • The Shaman (a new character, a mystic linked to the elements who applies elemental debuffs in battle)
  • Run History Plus (quality of life for run history)

The music is the same as the vanilla game. MegaCrit did a great job with it!

@pIxzzu: It looks like you're running Vex's Mapless Spire mod and it has a bug. You should report the bug on the workshop page for that mod.

@Dedrax: I'm happy to incorporate any translations people make but don't plan to make any translations myself.

hello a FR version is possible?

For those who have enjoyed my act mods, check out my new mod, Corrupt the Spire . It adds corrupted rooms throughout the Spire that provide variety, challenge, and new rewards -- but those rewards come at the cost of adding to Corruption, a global value which increases the difficulty of enemies. I've been working on it for a while and am excited to release it.

It's totally separate from my act mods, but if you've enjoyed the enemy, event, relic, and card designs in my act mods, you may enjoy Corrupt the Spire too. Hope everyone gives it a try!

I've really enjoyed your Act mods for the challenge and intrigue. The only critiques I have:

- A20 Act 1 is significantly harder with the Menagerie (multi hit warpig, elusive wraith and thorny experiment each have about 50 hp and can show up in the first fight.)
-A20 observer mechanic is quite unfair given that fewer hard hits should be a fair way of dealing with problems in Act 3. Its the equivalent of having about 200-300 hp depending on how long the fight lasts. The fact that it gains more of all of its resources over time and hits very hard is frustrating.
