Under the Ashen Banner Pike

5 ground regions + Abyss sky layer. Recommended order: Hernand → Demeniss → Pailune (Ch 7 lock) → Delesyia → Crimson Desert → Abyss. Level ranges and what to do in each.

Abyss Nexus are the round floor plates that unlock fast travel across Pywel. Activate every white '?' search area you pass on the way to bells and artifacts.

Every Sealed Abyss Artifact unlocks a Challenge — and Challenge progress only counts AFTER you find the artifact. Here's how to collect all 141 in the optimal order.
