Abyss One: The Magnus

Introduction

The world of Magnus awaits in the Abyss and provides rewards, skills and quality of life features! 
  • A form of Fast Travel that can transport you between major cities
  • Unique "Abyssal Legacy" skills that enhance a pre-awakened skill for every class
  • A PEN Armor piece of your choice as a quest reward 
  • Remote Access to other region's storage with the ability to move / store items. 
  • Once per family Quest Rewards that include a (15 day) Value pack 

 

Rewards From the Magnus

The Magnus quest line rewards you with a bunch of rewards like one PEN boss armor piece, instant teleportation between regions, a new skill for all classes and more.

 

Fast Travelling Map 

Once you've finished with the Magnus questlines you'll be able to interact with Abyssal Veins to teleport without using the Magnus. 

 

This will let you open a unique fast travel teleport map to select a destination to teleport to. Just jump in to the well after selecting a destination and you'll travel there without going through the Magnus. 

 

 

The Abyssal Wells for Ulukita will also be unlocked when you unlock the Mediah knowledge in the Magnus questline.

The helmets and chest pieces can be enhanced to Labreska's Helmet and Fallen God armor respectively using the usual methods. 

 

Remote storage

Another reward from the Magnus which is great for quality of life is the enhanced remote storage. 

Black Desert Remote Storage

 

As you complete more of the Magnus main questline you will connect more of the storages together. 

 

This isn't available in Muiquun and Port Ratt and can't be used to transport trade items, basic potion items, Ornette's Spirit Essence or Odore's Spirit Essence.

 

Class skill: Abyssal Legacy

Completing all of the Magnus questline will unlock a new "Abyssal Legacy" skill for each class.

Black Desert Abyssal Legacy Skill

 

Once you use the secret book to learn the new skill, it will replace the skill commands of an Absolute skill in your character's arsenal.

 

You can still add and use the replaced Absolute skill via Quick Slot.

 

For other Characters:

You only have to do the quest line onces for all of your classes to get their skills. To get the skill on other characters you talk with the black spirit and he will give you a quest called [The Magnus] Abyssal Revelation

Requirements 

The Magnus questline is new player friendly, with relatively low requirements to get started. Your character will need to have completed the following quests:

 

  • "Farewell, Grusha," "Embarking on an Adventure," or "Big Fish in a Small Pond" Balenos main quests
  • "[Special Growth] Fughar's Memorandum - Chapter 1" during the Simplified questline.
  • "[Everfrost] Beyond the Doors of Alyaelli" from the Mountain of Eternal Winter main questline

 

While you are able to start the questlines after completing the above, it is only up to a certain point. 

 

There are some parts of "Abyss One: The Magnus" that are available after completing the Serendia and Calpheon main questlines.          

 

Heading to the Magnus

Starting Quest [The Magnus] Nostalgic For Velia obtained from Black Spirit (,) in The Main Quest tab. You will then be able to start the questline at NPC Eileen in Velia 

 

She'll then guide you over to Bartali Farm where you can head into the Magnus! 

 

Black Desert Adventure into the magnus

 

Since the Magnus is new player friendly, it uses it's own unique set of custom gear, just like the Arena of Solare. You're also unable to use regular items while in the Magnus.

 

Black Desert Magnus Gear

 

If you need to get out of the Magnus for any reason, just hit Esc, you will be given the below menu. 

Black Desert Escaping the Magnus

The Magnus: Abyss One Challenges 

Below is an extensive guide on the challenges you'll find in the Magnus! We'll cover each challenge seperately. 

 

The easiest way to find the challenge you're looking for is by using find (Ctrl+F) or using the Table of Contents page navigation to the right of page.  

 

You can click on any of the images on this page for a larger version of the image should you need it.

 

Memory Fragment and the Peaceful Vegabond

Climb aboard the boat and begin rowing. This is nice and easy, just head towards the lights, the cat will meow when you get closer to the correct light 

 

Black Desert Memory Fragment and the Peaceful Vegabond

 

There is also guiding wind that shows you the way, so you don't have to rely purely on the cat. Simply travel to each light until finished. 

 

Black Desert Magnus Guiding Light

 

Why Don't you do it Yourself? 

This is a stealth gameplay section, avoid the Red Nosed Imp's field of vision and collect the five orbs scattered around the cave. 

 

Black Desert why don't you do it yourself stealth

 

Stack all five orbs in the room on the imp altar, without being seen. Being hit will reset you back to the start of the cave. 

 

Black Desert why dont you do it yourself altar

 

After you're done with the orbs you will then be prompted to follow the cat out of the cave to complete the quest. 

 

Black Desert Why don't you do it yourself exit

 

Pendulum Goes Clickety-Clack 

This is a nice, simple one. Pick up the orb, avoid everything and carry it to the otherside.

 

Pendulum Goes Clickety-Clack Guide

 

Once you're at the opposite end, there will be a clear pedastal that you have to place the orb on. 

 

Pendulum Goes Clickety-Clack exit

 

Repeat back and forth until complete. 

 

You will now be done with the first section of the Magnus questline and be awarded with the first enhanced storage and travel back up to the normal world.

 

Black Desert Magnus Balenos

 

For the next part of the questline, you'll taken to Moretti Farm, the anomaly is on the roof here.  

 

Black Desert Magnus Moretti Farm

 

After you've interacted with the anomaly you are able to head down the next well, back into the abyss. 

Golden Lion of Serendia

Now you'll meet up with Jordine who's also been transported to the Magnus, he'll be helping you on this questline, speak to him to have him open the first gate. 

 

Black Desert Golden Lion of Serendia Jordine

 

After Jordine has opened the gate for you, step on the yellow pedestal. Keep away from the fire! 

 

Black Desert Golden Lion of Serendia Fire

 

Needing something to extinguish the fire, step into the first room where Jordine still is. Head over to the Mystical waterfall and touch the water.  

 

Black Desert Golden Lion of Serendia Water

 

Slowly approach the fire, let it extinguish slowly. You'll be able to see the flames die out as you walk. 

Black Desert Golden Lion of Serendia Extinguish

 

Next you'll come to the second room. Watch out for the floating black spirits as they'll deal alot of damage if you get too close. 

 

Black Desert Golden Lion of Serendia Room 2

 

Speaking with Jordine will attempt to have him stand on one of the platforms. Here I've used the provided Abyssal Orb and stood on the other platform myself.

 

This will open the gates to the left in the image below. 

 

Black Desert Golden Lion of Serendia Floor tiles

 

When you enter the gates, they'll close behind you. Search the "Junk" and the "Chest" in the image below.

 

The chest will give you "Ancient Orders" and the Junk will give you a "Rusty Helmet."

 

Place the  "Ancient Orders" on Altar 1 and keep the "Rusty Helmet" for now. 

 

Black Desert Golden Lion of Serendia Puzzle 1

 

To escape the room, use the crank, and head back through the gates to the room we just left. Ignore Jordine in the image below, I used the purple orb again.

 

To unlock the gates on the right, this time use the pressure plates like this:

 

Black Desert Golden Lion of Serendia Floor tiles 2

 

Now interact with the "Old Flag" and the "Sword and Shield" this will give you an "Old Flag" and a

"Rusty Quiver."

 

Place the "Rusty Helmet" on Altar 3 and place the "Rusty Quiver" on Altar 4. 

 

Black Desert Golden Lion of Serendia puzzle 2

 

Now that we have the "Old Flag", exit the room with the crank. Change the pressure plates back to how you first set them and enter the other cell. 

 

Place the "Old Flag" on Altar 2.  

 

Black Desert Golden Lion of Serendia Puzzle 3

 

Now you will be prompted that the next gates are open and will be able to advance into the next area. 

 

You will have to fight off some monsters with Jordine and destroy the iron gateways.

 

Black Desert Golden Lion of Serendia Monsters

 

Finally you will have to face a large snake boss with Jordine, this is the last part of this challenge. 

 

Black Desert Golden Lion of Serendia Boss

 

Exploding Fireworks

Talk to the snake Ibedor to begin the challenge, which will involve monsters invading through the portals in the distance. 

 

Black Desert Exploding Fireworks Start

 

Ibedor will spawn a chariot that has a cannon attached to it that you'll use to defend from the invasion. 

 

It's best to stay still for a few moments to allow the chariot to properly spawn, otherwise it may not be an interactable object. 

 

You can reset this by hitting "Esc" and clicking "Retry" or by running into the center of the map and hitting "Retry."

 

Changing graphics options can also sometimes help.

 

Black Desert Exploding Fireworks Chariot

 

Defeat the incoming invaders by firing the cannon as they attack, "LMB" is fire while "RMB" will activate a rapid fire to help clear out the mobs.

On the starting platform there is only one option, just head forwards and interact with the orb.

There are a few more options this time, just run over to the orb marked in the image below. You can click on the image to make it larger.

Head back down the well in Gambino Farm and find Wuju, just follow the questline instructions.

Crouch down using 'Q' then walk through the center of the security systems, when you get to the golden light, destroy the cube by attacking it. You can roll forward with Shift+W to be a little quicker.

Black Desert The Girl who Lost the Sea Start


Next talk to Lara until she gives you the quest "Gathering Material #1." Talk to her again and

"Ask for the location of the tree." 

 

Follow the yellow light she creates to find the materials. You'll have to do this for all the needed materials of the quest. 

 

You can jump into the ocean to teleport back to Lara, it won't reset your progress. 

 

Black Desert The Girl who Lost the Sea Light

 

Once you've completed that you'll be given "Gathering Material #2." Repeat the process of asking her for the material locations and following the light.

 

When you have the resin, melt it on the bonfire then speak to Lara to give her the ingredients.

If the raft doesn't spawn, you can swim out to the cat in the ocean, it will still count. 

 

The Only Thing That Matters

At the start of this challenge, you'll have to speak to Gorgath and collect some herbs, the game directs you with very obvious golden lights so nothing to worry about here.

You will then have to spread the light through the rest of the giant pillars by interacting with them. 

 

Black Desert The Only Thing That Matters Light

 

You can just spam 'R' while interacting with the pillars, you don't have to exit after rotating them. 

 

When spamming 'R' the pillar will continue to rotate, just make it rotate until the light appears. You don't have to actually solve anything.

When the lights are all lit up, the cat will appear and the challenge will be complete. 

 

Black Desert The Only Thing That Matters End

After this challenge you'll return back to the original world and be awarded with more connected storage.

Next you'll head back to the Altinova Gateway and then jump down the well there. Locate Wuju to start the next questchain. 

 

Beneath the Surface

Speak to Zobadi to begin the quest, he'll ask you to hunt moles within the cave. If you stand near the light dust clouds it will spawn a "Small Mole."

 

These moles won't complete the quest, instead you need to look for a darker dust cloud.

Stormy Hills

This time its a much simpler challenge. Interact with the "Cron's Heart" to start the challenge. A large yellow wall will surround the area.
