| 2 | + | The Abyss league and Hardcore Abyss league were a pair of challenge leagues. The leagues started on December 8, 2017 alongside the release of the War for the Atlas expansion and ended on 2018-02-27 New Zealand time or 2018-02-26 US time. | |

| 6 | + | All characters and stashes were moved to Standard league and Hardcore league respectively when the leagues ended. Characters that died in the Hardcore Abyss league were immediately moved to the permanent Standard league. | |

| 4 | 18 | ## Mechanics | |
| 19 | + | The league mechanics are Abysses, which can spawn in almost all areas of the game. Abysses are marked with a green dot on the minimap. They are triggered by walking over the green, glowing area. This opens a crack in the ground that can be followed to a gaping pit. Enemies spawn along the crack, and a rare enemy spawns from the pit. If enough enemies are defeated in a short time - particularly, but not necessarily, the rare enemy - a second crack opens and the process repeats once or twice. From the last pit, an Abyssal Trove may spawn, which usually contains one to three Abyss items listed below. At higher levels, a portal to the Abyssal Depths may open instead. | |
