Entry

Abyss

Abyss is checkpoint 6 of 7 in Drain the Lake — the deepest named layer before the bottom. Reaching it awards the Into the Abyss badge worth 125 Gems, and it becomes a respawn point so a swim or a Shark no longer sends you back to the start.

2,700,690 players have reached it — about 54% of everyone who has drained a first bucket, down from 58% at the Lost City.

Reaching the Abyss

The last named checkpoint before the lakebed. The Shark patrols the open water here, so drain along the edges rather than the middle. Clear the Abyss and only the final stretch to the phone remains.

The Abyss is the Shark's territory, and the last real obstacle. Work the shoreline, not the centre — the bucket reaches the water from the edge, so you keep the same fill rate while staying out of the Shark's hunting lane. Then it is a straight drain to the bottom.
