Spiral Abyss

The Spiral Abyss consists of two main parts: the Abyss Corridor (floors 1–8) and the Abyssal Moon Spire (floors 9–12). Completing all floors in the Abyss Corridor permanently unlocks the Abyssal Moon Spire. The Abyss Corridor's rewards can only be collected once, but the Abyssal Moon Spire's rewards reset on the 16th of each month during the Moment of Syzygy.

Abyssal Stars, Chambers, and Floors

The Spiral Abyss is divided into 12 floors, with each floor containing 3 chambers. In the Abyss Corridor, all enemies have the same level in a given floor. In the Abyssal Moon Spire, the level of enemies gradually increases from chamber to chamber even within a given floor.

Enemies in each chamber can appear in one of two formats — being constantly replaced by new enemies one by one when each enemy is defeated until all units of that enemy type are defeated, or more commonly, in sets of enemy waves that require all enemies in the current wave to be defeated in order to spawn the next wave of enemies.

For floors 1 to 4, each chamber must be cleared in 300 seconds. From floor 5 onward, each chamber must be cleared in 600 seconds. In floors where the Ley Line Monolith must be protected, it must be kept intact, or the challenge will fail. In floors where 2 teams are required, the second half of the chamber starts with the remaining time (or Ley Line Monolith HP) from the first half.

All chambers have additional challenges that can be completed in order to obtain additional rewards other than the first-time clear rewards. Currently, there are two types of challenges — one in which the chamber needs to be cleared in a specified amount of time, and another in which a Ley Line Monolith must have a specified amount of health remaining. Entering the next floor requires the player to have earned at least six Abyssal Stars from the previous floor, as well as having cleared all three of the previous floor's chambers. Although the game does not provide recommendations to clear each floor, players are recommended to check what enemies are on each floor, as specific enemies can severely limit team compositions.

Total stars earned are retroactive. In other words, it is not necessary to clear the entire floor in one go to get more stars. If the player obtained 3 stars from the second and third chambers of a floor, but none from the first chamber on their first try, they may retry the first chamber as many times as they want, with the highest amount of stars gained during these attempts being saved even after leaving and restarting the floor. It is not possible to reset after clearing an entire chamber, so the player should be careful before completing the second half of a chamber to avoid having to complete the entire floor again just to reach that chamber if they miss the requirements.

In the Abyss Corridor, earning Abyssal Stars has various requirements which are generally inconsistent across floors.

In the Abyssal Moon Spire, the time requirements to earn Abyssal Stars in timed challenged are more consistent, with the first two chambers of floors 9, 10 and 11 requiring clear times of 60/180/300 seconds (i.e. 1/3/5 minutes remaining) for each star respectively. On the last chamber of these floors, and the entirety of floor 12, the time needed to obtain a star is decreased to 180/300/420 seconds (i.e. 3/5/7 minutes remaining) for each star respectively.

After Version 5.1, the player can quick-claim full star rewards from floors 9 and 10, and do not have to clear them again when the Abyssal Moon Spire resets, provided that they have cleared floor 11 and 12 with full stars respectively.

After completing a chamber, the character's HP and energy levels will be immediately halted and recorded at the level where they were at the very moment the chamber was completed. If the chamber was cleared, but the character is still applying healing over time afterward, or energy particles/orbs were absorbed by them, they will not have been recorded. Starting the next chamber will set each character's HP and energy to the level where they were at the moment it was recorded. Tactical moves made by the player in a previous chamber to ensure characters begin the next chamber with more HP and energy can make battles easier and make a great difference between achieving or missing a star.

The player can view their current Spiral Abyss progress inside the map menu, next to the resin count at the top. If no Spiral Abyss challenge has been completed, it will show "This round's challenge has not yet begun."

The player can also view statistics of their runs in the Abyssal Moon Spire (floors 9–12) for the last 24 Spiral Abyss resets using the "Challenge Summary" menu.

Abyss Corridor and the Abyssal Moon Spire

The Spiral Abyss is composed of two parts: The "Abyss Corridor" (floors 1–8) and the "Abyssal Moon Spire" (floors 9–12). Clearing all 8 floors of the Abyss Corridor will permanently unlock the Abyssal Moon Spire.

The Abyssal Moon Spire will reset once a month, occurring on the 16th of each month, which will also cause a new period of Blessing of the Abyssal Moon to begin. However, the rewards within the Abyss Corridor will not reset. When the Abyssal Moon Spire resets each month, it can be attempted again in order to reclaim its rewards.

The enemies on floors 9 and 10 generally change once every anniversary update (i.e. during Version X.0), while the enemies on floors 11 and 12 generally change once every version, taking effect after the Abyssal Moon Spire is reset within that version.

Normal Bosses or Veteran Local Legends usually appear on floor 11 on one half, though a few cases have happened where this does not occur. However, they are much more common in floor 12, and often on both halves. Some Normal Bosses may have stat and/or behavior adjustments compared to their overworld counterpart; for example, Tenebrous Papilla in the Spiral Abyss has higher resistance and immediately initiates combat with its special attack, while others like Maguu Kenki is the same as its overworld counterpart.

Enemies on each floor can appear in waves, though in cases with significant numbers, may appear gradually with a cap. The boss or Local Legend usually appears as the final enemy of the wave set, however starting from Luna VIII these notable enemies may appear first instead of normal enemies.

Prior to June 16th, 2024, these rewards would reset twice each month instead, with the period beginning on the 1st of each month being called the Waxing Phase while the period beginning on the 16th of each month being called the Waning Phase.

Combat Bonuses and Restrictions

Restrictions and Ley Line Disorders

There are several restrictions in the Spiral Abyss. When challenging each floor, the player will be disallowed from:

• Consuming food or other consumables
• Changing party members
• Changing artifacts or weapons
• Leveling up or ascending characters
• Opening the inventory or character menus.

In addition, each floor in the Spiral Abyss has different Ley Line Disorders, which can grant buffs or debuffs to characters, enemies, or both. Considering the enemies in each chamber and the Ley Line Disorder in effect will enable the player to complete the challenges more easily.

Divergence

Starting from floor 5, the Spiral Abyss will diverge into two paths. To be able to challenge these floors, two teams of up to four characters must be arranged to challenge each half of a chamber. The same character cannot be used in both teams.

Enemy HP

On certain floors of the Spiral Abyss, enemies have increased HP values compared to those of their counterparts encountered in the open world**:

• Floors 3–7: HP 150% vs open world
• Floors 8–11: HP 200% vs open world
• Floor 12: HP 250% vs open world

**Note: Some Spiral Abyss cycles may have additional amendments on the HP Bonus on specific enemies, or specific chambers, or the entire floor. Please refer to a specific Spiral Abyss cycle for more details on a particular rotation.

Benediction of the Abyss

At the start of each chamber, the player must choose to receive one buff from a choice of three to assist them in battle. These buffs are known as the Benediction of the Abyss. Different Benedictions have different effects and durations:

• Effective this floor: The given buff will last until entering the next floor.
• Effective this chamber: The given buff will last until entering the next chamber.
• Effective immediately: The given buff will take effect instantly after being chosen.

Choosing suitable Benedictions according to the player's requirements and party composition can help complete the challenges more easily.

The choice of Benedictions provided in each chamber changes every daily reset.

Blessing of the Abyssal Moon

At the start of each Spiral Abyss cycle after the monthly reset, a global buff will be provided which will apply throughout the entire Abyssal Moon Spire. This buff is known as the Blessing of the Abyssal Moon.

There are no current blessings.There are no upcoming blessings.

Rewards

Clearing the Spiral Abyss grants the player various rewards. Clearing each chamber for the first time allows the player to receive the "Chamber's Bounty." Earning enough Abyssal Stars in each chamber allows the player to claim the "Star's Bounty." The various rewards and whether they have been claimed can be checked using the "Rewards Preview" menu.

On the sixteenth day of each month, the Abyssal Moon Spire's rewards will reset and a new period of Blessing of the Abyssal Moon will begin. Abyss Corridor rewards are one-time only and do not reset.

If there is not enough inventory space for Spiral Abyss bounty, the items will be sent via mail under the title "Spiral Abyss — Lost Items," with one mail per chamber. However, this does not apply to rewards which were not claimed before the reset, such as primogems.

Trivia

• The Abyss Corridor is hinted to be located in Teyvat, whereas the Abyssal Moon Spire is hinted to extend beyond Teyvat.
  • This also hints that the Abyssal Moon Spire follows the lunar cycle of another realm, which is why it resets on the 16th of each month.
  • The moon visible in the Abyssal Moon Spire seems to be distinct from the moon over Teyvat, which further supports this theory.
• In astronomy, "syzygy" is the configuration of three celestial bodies in a straight line. One commonly-known type of syzygy is an eclipse.
  • In the Valentinianism system of Gnosticism, "syzygy" refers to the paired male and female emanations of God.
