== Transfer Points ==

There is only one entrance to The Abyss. It is accessed via a submarine in the southeast corner of [[Grandville]].

== Villain Groups ==

The Abyss is completely under control of the [[Devouring Earth]]. In the center of a watery bowl-shaped area in the north, you can find [[Hamidon]], surrounded by its mitochondria. When Hamidon occupies its spot, it is the only enemy in the entire zone. If Hamidon is not present, [[Devouring Earth#Thorn|Thorn]], [[Devouring Earth#Stropharia|Stropharia]], [[Devouring Earth#Lattice|Lattice]], and [[Devouring Earth#Quarry|Quarry]] monsters roam throughout the zone. Defeating the monsters will earn a villain [[Inspirations#Special Inspirations|Essence of the Earth]] inspirations.

== Notes ==
* This zone was added to the game for [[Villain]]s in [[Issue 9]].
* For the movie-goers amongst us, the whole area of '''The Abyss''', especially around the buildings with the [[Geneticist Badge]], are inspired by the movie ''[[Wikipedia:Jurassic_Park|Jurassic Park]]''.

== TRAVEL POWER WARNING! ==
Like [[Terra Volta]], this zone can present immense difficulties for Villains whose only [[Travel Powers|Travel Power]] is [[Speed#Super Speed|Super Speed]]. The bowl shaped area around the [[Reborn Badge]] (more like a crater!) is very deep and there are only limited natural rock ramps that lead back to the top. For a 3-D travel power this is no issue, but if [[Hamidon]] is not present, i.e. there are [[Monster]]s still in the zone, then there is no way of getting out of the crater by Super Speed apart from the ramps, since there are no other enemies in the crater and you can't die from falling...
