The Abyss ambience is the Main Menu theme distorted and slowed down.It also does not appear on the zoomed-out version of the map, but does when zoomed-in. This area does not have a Map, instead being shared with that of Ancient Basin.A sketch of this boss was shown by Team Cherry on Twitter, but the boss itself was never added. The lighthouse in the Abyss was originally going to feature a boss encounter.When later asked on Creative Hustler's Show in October 2017, it was stated that Team Cherry would not be working on the content planned for the Abyss expansion, citing that the world for the game was built without considering this expansion, and that Team Cherry would like to move on from Hollow Knight and work on a new game in the near future.According to Team Cherry, the expansion would have "taken players down into the lake of void, to explore the twisted space within." According to the Kickstarter stretch goals, the Abyss was "a massive new expansion for only the hardiest of adventures" and was going to have "4 new bosses", however, this $85,000 stretch goal was not reached.The reason for this similarity is unknown. This is the only area outside of the Dream Realm that features the floating circular symbols, though in a blue hue instead of pink. The Arcane Egg contained inside is no longer obtainable if missed. After obtaining Lifeblood Core from this room, the Knight wakes up next to the door, which is now sealed by dull grey vines, and can no longer be entered. In the background of this room is seen the massive multi-eyed head of the Abyss Creature. At the end of the area is a room with an altar where the Lifeblood Core Charm can be found. Inside the chamber is a short series of platforming challenges. When the Knight approaches the door with enough Lifeblood Masks, the orbs next to the door begin to glow, one by one, until the last one is shining a bright blue hue and the blue vines disappear, unlocking the door. It requires 14 Lifeblood Masks (15 with Joni's Blessing equipped) to open, which is most easily opened with Joni's Blessing in conjunction with other Lifeblood sources. The Lifeblood Chamber is accessed by a door on the west wall of the Abyss chasm, sealed by Lifeblood vines. The Void Tendrils and Siblings found throughout the Abyss become passive once Void Heart has been acquired. It also appears to be where the Pale King studied the Void, as there is a research room with diagrams on the walls, as well as the Hunter's Journal entry for Void Tendrils. The east side holds the Shade Cloak, in a room with a corpse holding a bowl of Void. This lighthouse can be activated to calm down the Void Tendrils in the sea which normally lash out towards intruders, allowing the Knight to cross to the east side of the Abyss. To the east is the sea of Void, with a massive lighthouse standing on its shore. To the very west is an altar surrounded by numerous screaming faces where the Abyss Shriek Spell can be acquired. When the Kingsoul Charm is equipped, a path to a hidden area can be opened with Desolate Dive, leading to an egg that can be Dream Nailed to obtain Void Heart. The main area of the Abyss is a giant chasm littered with the shells of Vessels who were born and then discarded.
