Getting started

Reaching The Dreadlands[]

In order to reach the Dreadlands, the player must have killed Asorah, located an Abyssal Stronghold, and have a gateway key, and be in the possession of a transmutation gem. Asorah’s Dreaded Gateway Key is crafted by placing the gateway key in the center of the crafting grid, with the other 3 components around it (1 located on top of it, the other 2 on the sides in the grid). The key is used like it’s former counterpart. Right-click on the ground and a portal will be created.

One thing you should do before heading to the Dreadlands is to create a Transmutator, as it will be very useful later when it comes to experimenting with crystals produced by the Crystallizer. In order to craft it, you need 2 Refined Coralium Blocks, 1 Liquid Coralium Bucket, 1 Transmutation Gem and 5 Coralium Bricks. In order to obtain the Coralium Bricks, you need to pour Liquid Antimatter on Liquid Coralium, creating Coralium Stone. Liquid Antimatter can be found in the Coralium Infested Swamp biome, but can also be crafted if you can’t find the biome (using 1 lava bucket, 1 water bucket, 1 milk bucket and 1 liquid coralium bucket, with 5 iron ingots placed as a boat with the buckets on top of it in the crafting grid).

Defeating Cha’garoth[]

Getting started (skyfactory 3)

Once inside the Dreadstone Stronghold that holds Cha’garoth’s Lair, you will encounter multiple Dreadguards while heading to the far north end of the structure, where you will walk down a staircase until you drop down into the lair. There are 2 additional rooms within the structure, where you can find various things. When you reach the hall with fenced windows (reached after going up the staircase), Cha’garoth’s health bar will appear, and Spawns of Cha’garoth will spawn at your location as long as their master is alive. Once you’ve reached the lair, you’ll find Cha’garoth in a circular room with 2 Dreadguards (and the amount of mobs he has spawned while you were working your way towards him). If you have a bow and a large amount of arrows, the fight should be a bit easier, apart from the many minions that spawn at your location. One way to make the fight easier on your end is to have splash potions of healing (as all Dread mobs are undead), buying you time when throwing them at the enemies while healing yourself. Another method for making the fight easier is to either have the Plated Coralium Armor set or the Dreadium Samurai one (the samurai set gives you a health regen, and the Katana deals a lot of damage). Once you have defeated Cha’garoth, he will drop a Dread-plagued Gateway Key, which needs to be transmuted in order to obtain Cha’garoth’s R’lyehian Gateway Key, needed to reach the final dimension.

Exploring the Overworld[]

Iron chests

Your next step should be crafting a Gateway Key, which will allow you to enter the Abyssal Wasteland. It’s recommended that you stock up with armor and tools as well. Abyssalnite Armor and Tools can be made from coralium, which is slightly stronger than their iron counterparts.

You will then need to seek out a Darklands Mountains biome and slay enough Shadow Creatures, Shadow Monsters, and Shadow Beasts to obtain Shadow Gems which will be turned into Shards of Oblivion. To craft the Gateway Key you will need 16 gems.

Once you have the key, find a good open area to create the portal and right click the ground to open it. (It’s advised that you gather a supply of food and light sources before going through the portal. Where you’re going, those two are going to be hard to come by).

General wiki templates[]

Clear

{{clr}}, plus {{clrl}} and {{clrr}}

This template is used to reduce the amount of non-wikicode used on pages, replacing the code . Its use should generally be avoided.
You can use {{clr}} instead of the HTML tag that clears space below things like images, pictures and tables, so the following stuff doesn’t begin until the bottom of the image, picture or table box.
You can also use {{clrl}} or {{clrr}} to clear only left or right floats.

Use at the top of articles as a simple «for x see y» template.

Use at the start of a section to link to the main article on it.

Right-aligned Table of Contents

This template floats the table of contents (toc) on the right. It should only be used when absolutely necessary, to keep consistent design.

A template that should be used to head up all Project:Sandbox pages.

This template allows you to show example template code (with a link to the templates) without using the template itself. It is used extensively on this page.

Welcome

{{welcIP}} and {{welcome}}

The first (with longer version «welcomeIP» for those of you who like typing more) is to welcome new non-vandalistic contributors who are «anonymous», identified only by their IP number; it encourages them to register.
The second template is for welcoming new registered users. Should be customized for the wiki, indicating the pages we most want newcomers to visit.
The above two templates are very suitable for having «subst:» prefixed, because they can be edited with additions or deletions appropriate to the apparent strengths of the person being welcomed; e.g. if the contributor has already demonstrated good wiki editing skills you could delete references to pages about «how to edit».

Wikipedia

{{wikipedia}}, {{wikipedia-deleted}}

Wikipedia-related templates. Use {{wikipedia}} for articles taken directly from Wikipedia, and {{wikipedia-deleted}} for articles deleted from Wikipedia.

Generating a new world[]

The first thing you should do after installing AbyssalCraft (as of version 1.8.4 and later) is to craft a Necronomicon. This picture shows how a Necronomicon is crafted:

This book contains the majority of the information written on this wiki page, with some extra info on materials found in the various dimensions added by the mod (and new materials found in the Overworld).

As you might suspect, AbyssalCraft adds a new overworld biome when you generate a new world with it, the biome (called «The Darklands») is made out of Darklands grass, which is a purple/indigo grass that emits nether portal particles, and other things you can easily notice inside it is the trees (leaves have a similar color to the grass) and the various generated structure scattered around the place (as of lately, the structures are quite rare). A good start when you find a Darklands biome is to locate the 2 story high buildings that looks like a wizard tower, for the simple reason that it contains a fully powered enchantment table, allowing you to quickly enchant tools/armor as you obtain them.

The Dreadlands[]

Once inside the Dreadlands, you’ll notice the Abyssalnite/Dreaded Abyssalnite Golems, who continuously fight each other (with the exception of the dreaded one also attacking the player). These mobs can be used as an easy way to farm huge quantities of Abyssalnite, as they drop chunks of it on death. The environment in the Dreadlands is quite desolate, but there are still mobs that spawn here (apart from the aforementioned golems). In the Dreadlands Forest biomes you can find Demon Pigs and Dread Spawns (and the golems plus the Dreadling, which has a fairly average chance of spawning in all of the various Dreadlands biomes). If you happen to stumble upon a Dreadlands Mountains biome, you should be able to find larger amounts of Dreadlings, but also Fists of Cha’garoth, Spawns of Cha’garoth and the infamous Dreadguard. The only ore you can find here are the Dreaded/Dreadlands Abyssalnite ores, which can be smelted down for more Abyssalnite Ingots. There is also a Purified Dreadlands biome (which is the opposite of the normal Dreadlands biome, since this one is covered in Abyssalnite Stone instead of Dreadstone).

What are templates?[]

Wiki templates provide a means to insert the same content over and over in different (or the same) pages. This saves editors the hassle of duplicating the same text again and again, and also helps ensure consistency.

Templates are generally shown with the format required to use the template (e.g. ). Clicking the template name takes you to the template’s page, where you can see what it looks like and how it is used.

Detailed instructions on the usage of each template should exist on:

a subpage using {{documentation}}; or
the template page itself (inside «noinclude» tags); or
the template’s talk page.

For more information on templates, see Help:Templates.

Rituals require altars to be performed. Altars are player-made structures consisting of 9 pillars with one in the center. 8 types of different materials can be used to create altars. The central pillar of the altar is usually just called the Altar, and the side pillars are usually called Pedestals.

Shift right-click an Altar using a Necronomicon to complete an Altar or to perform a ritual. When performing a ritual, items must be placed on the altar, and a type of energy called Potential Energy is required. Rituals are used for various different tasks.

Omothol[]

A endless temple city built at the very edge of sanity. The Realm of J’zahar holds the only entrance to where The Great Old Ones dwell. The Gatekeeper is always watching, and nobody leaves the final layer of the Abyss alive.

Materials

	Omothol Stone is a new type of stone that Omothol is made out of. It can be combined with Ethaxium to create Dark Ethaxium.
	Ethaxium is a new material most commonly appearing in Omothol as the material used for structures built there. Ethaxium is extremely hard, and can thus only be destroyed with tools made from it.	Ethaxium is said to be what souls are made out of, which likely explains why it’s almost indestructible. No wonder J’zahar built his temple city from this.
	Dark Ethaxium is a stronger version of Ethaxium created by combining regular Ethaxium with Omothol Stone. This kind of Ethaxium is harder than it’s normal counterpart.	This material is only used in one structure, the Temple of J’zahar.

Progression

Now that you’ve arrived in Omothol, it’s time to battle J’zahar, Gatekeeper of The Abyss. This Dimension is currently incomplete, so there isn’t that much to do here apart from getting materials to craft the Abyssalnomicon.

This section will be updated when Omothol has been completed. At that point, there will be a gigantic city built upon these floating islands.

Entities

	Remnants are the citizens of Omothol, found there.	Since all Great Old Ones has some type of offspring, J’zahar has the Remnants, whom are lesser beings of himself, incapable of obtaining the power he bears. Instead they worship him like his loyal breed, and trade goods with other life forms.
	Omothol ghouls are the final evolution, found in Omothol.	The Omothol Ghoul is the final evolution of the Depths Ghoul, unlocking the full potential of death. Aeons in darkness has made these behemoths immune to fire, while strengthening them greatly.
	Omothol Wardens are demons found in Omothol.	Omothol Wardens are demons tasked by J’zahar to patrol Omothol, searching for intruders to eliminate. These demonic beings are powerful guardians of the Abyss.
	Minions of The Gatekeeper are loyal servants to J’zahar found in Omothol.	Minions of The Gatekeeper are an elite of more powerful Remnants serving their master. They are commonly found around The Temple of J’zahar, being loyal minions to the Gatekeeper.
	J’zahar, Gatekeeper of The Abyss, is the final boss in AbyssalCraft, found in Omothol.	J’zahar was the only one among The Great Old Ones to not get banished to the eternal void. Due to the powers he obtained when he reverted time and space to re-create it, he is tasked with guarding his fellow demonic gods in their eternal slumber.
	Lesser Shoggoths are a smaller breed of Shoggoths found throughout the Abyss.	Shoggoths are amorphous shapeshifting beings genetically engineered by the Elder Things as a race of servant-tools. Though being mindless, they became conscious and killed their masteers. Now they sometimes build monoliths in honor of The Great old Ones.

Gaining Entry to Cha’garoth’s Lair[]

In order to reach Cha’garoth, and fight him, you need to access his lair. This is done by crafting the two pieces of his altar, then placing them at ground level 40 inside a Dreadlands Mountains biome. However, in order to do this, you will need Dreadium Ingots, which can be obtained through a couple of methods. You can obtain them by transmuting Dreaded Shards of Abyssalnite (dropped by Dreadguards, who has a chance of spawning in any Dreadlands biome, but more often in Dreadlands Mountain biomes), or by crystallizing Dreaded Chunks of Abyssalnite (the Crystallizer is crafted by surrounding a furnace with Dreadstone Bricks, but with 1 Block of Dreadium on each side of the furnace). The altar consists of 2 pieces, a bottom part and a top part, the bottom part is crafted with 2 Bones, 1 Dread Cloth, 2 Dreadium Ingots, 2 Dreadstone, Asorah’s Dreaded Gateway Key and 1 Dreaded Shard of Abyssalnite (the Gateway Key in the middle, with 1 Dreadium Ingot on each side, then 1 Dreadstone below the Dreadium Ingot, and the Dreaded Shard there, then the cloth on top of the Gateway Key with a Bone on each side of it). The top part requires 1 Bucket, 2 Sticks, 3 Dread Cloths and 3 Dreadium Ingots (the Bucket on top with 1 Stick on each side, then all of the Dread Cloth in the middle row and all of the Dreadium Ingots in the bottom row). Once you have the altar pieces, you will need to get to ground level 40 in the Dreadlands Mountains biome. When you place the bottom piece of the altar, you will get a message if the altar is placed at the wrong height, then you will get a message telling you to right-click the top part if both of the altar pieces have been placed correctly. Once you have clicked, the altar will disappear, and you will be inside Cha’garoth’s Lair.

The Dread Cloth is crafted by putting a piece of leather in the middle, surrounded by Strings and Dread Fragments (four each, in a checkers pattern).

Abyssal Strongholds[]

Located throughout the Abyssal Wastelands are underground fortresses known as Abyssal Strongholds. Similar to the Overworld’s Strongholds, these structures house portals to the Dreadlands and are found using Powerstone Trackers.

Functioning similarly to Eyes of Ender, Powerstone Trackers are crafted by surrounding an Eye of Ender with eight Coralium Gems. The Trackers can then be thrown into the air as they begin to float in the direction of a Stronghold. More specifically, Trackers hone in on the Dreadlands Infused Powerstone hidden away in the Abyssal Stronghold itself. The Dreadlands Infused Powerstone can only be harvested with a Refined Coralium Pickaxe or better.
