"Do you really think you can save them Player?"
Darkest Depths is a bonus dungeon found in the Celsian Isles. Up to four players can participate in the dungeon together and, similarly to Ephemeral Corridors, it can be played an infinite number of times in a week.
Unlocking
Within the Celsian Isles ocean, there are three entrances into the depths surrounded by warped flora. Entering any of these sends the player to the lobby. Players can either look for these entrances themselves or start the quest in Breachpoint, where they will be given the location of one via compass. The quest is complete upon entering the lobby.
Entering the Dungeon
In a similar fashion to Strikes, only a limited number of players may enter an instance. Up to four players may enter the same instance.
Hitting the button on the starting door will give players a random ability each.
Death
Dying in the Depths doesn't shatter anything, but each player only gets one life. Upon dying in the dungeon, players will be sent to their own reward room, with loot depending on their group's Treasure Score at the time of death (more info further). The only exit to the reward room is a pair of doors that, when entered, send the player back to the lobby.
Depth Trinket
The Depth Trinket is a special item given in the first two rooms of an instance. Left-clicking with it in mainhand will keep track of your party members, your room number, and the number of spawners that need to be broken in a room in order to advance. Right-clicking with it in mainhand or inventory will open a GUI listing player's abilities, as well as their teammate's abilities. Shift+left clicking will show the delve modifiers applied to the run after floor 3 in endless.
Floors
The Darkest Depths is categorized into three floors, each with it's own enemies and theming. Floors consist of ten rooms each, with the last room always being the boss of that area.
Room Generation
Located at the end of each room is a door with a button on a obsidian block. Pressing this button will open a GUI for room selection with 1-5 options available. Here, players may choose which room to generate, determining the size of the room and the rewards upon clearing. If the room has not been cleared, pressing this button will instead say how many more spawners need to be broken in order to generate the reward and advance. If the room has been cleared by breaking the majority of the spawners in this room, a reward chest will be generated at the last spawner required.
Normal Rooms
Normal rooms are relatively small rooms.
Elite Rooms
Elite rooms are much larger rooms with many more spawners compared to normal rooms. The rewards are typically much better as well, granting more treasure score or better abilities.
Treasure Reward
Opening the reward chests generated by Treasure rooms will cause it to disappear and will add to the group's Treasure Score (3 score in Normal rooms and 5 score in Elite rooms). Bug currenctly not fixed: Generate next room before treasure reward been claimed will cause it lose its function, meaning the treasure scout is lost forever.
Ability Reward
Each player will be granted 3 abilities of varying rarities that they may select via opening the chest or opening Depth Trinket GUI. Elite rooms are more likely to have much higher rarities (even Legendary). Each player's options are different and the selection will not affect other player's options.
The very first room in each instance will always be a special kind of Normal Room with no spawners but Ability Reward, granting the player an ability and an aspect.
Upgrade Reward
Each player will be shown 3 of their abilities with higher rarity than what they currently have. Selecting an upgrade will increase the ability to that rarity, overall making it more powerful. Normal rooms will typically only upgrade abilities up one rarity, while elite rooms will usually upgrade abilities up two rarities. If the player doesn't have at least three abilities capable of being upgraded, the selection will accommodate, giving less options or no options at all if the player cannot upgrade anything.
Twisted Rooms
Twisted Rooms are a special variation of Upgrade Rooms, featuring a much larger floor-dependant room. It rarely appears in the center of the room selection GUI as obfuscated text. Upon completion of the room, the reward will appear like an upgrade room reward. These upgrades are of a rarity higher than Legendary and can only be upgraded to it via Twisted rooms.
Utility Rooms
Utility rooms have no spawners, but also have none of the typical rewards listed above. Instead, they will have some special interaction or reward, ranging from extra Treasure Score, special music discs, or even overpowered potions that can only be used in the dungeon.
Boss Rooms
Boss rooms are always generated every ten rooms, signifying the last room of the floor. Here, players will fight the boss of the floor; Hedera, Venom of the Waves for Floor 1, Davey, Void Lieutenant for Floor 2, and Gyrhaeddant, the Nucleus for Floor 3. Defeating the boss will kill any minions left alive and will send the players to the starting room of the next floor shortly afterwards.
Completion of a boss room will increase the Treasure Score by (8 * Floor Number) + 2.
Utility Rooms
When a Utility Room is generated, it will spawn one of the following rooms:
- A room with a totem with a button in the middle that will spawn exclusively on floor 1. Activating the button will allow you to remove a single ability of your choice. This can only be used once per floor per person.
- A similarly room with a totem with a button in the middle but only will spawn exclusively on floor 2. Activating the button will allow you to remove a single ability of your choice and gain an ability in the same slot but from the categories of skills that you don't have. This can only be used once per floor per person.
- A small room with brewing stands. Within these stands contains a drinkable Regeneration potion lasting 20 minutes, an Instant Drink Instant Health IV potion with 6 seconds of Strength III, a splash potion with 4 seconds of Resistance V (unkillable), and a splash potion with 30 seconds of Absorption V. These potions will be dropped upon leaving the dungeon.
- A zigzag room with a one-time slot machine. Activating the slot machine will give 1-5 Treasure Score.
- A room with an enderchest, a jukebox, a button, and a training dummy. Pressing the button gives 1 Treasure Score. Inside the jukebox is an uncommon disc dependent on what floor it is.
- Floor 1 Disc - Magical Jazz
- Floor 2 Disc - Davey's Deep Cuts
- Floor 3 Disc - Brimstone Hardbass
- A room with a single button in the middle and colored particles surrounding it. Pressing the button will remove a random ability from the closest player and give them two more abilities of the same rarity. This can only be used once per floor per person.
- There is a workshop-like room that will spawn exclusively on floor 3. Hitting one of the buttons on the floor will summon 4 random weapons. These items, just like the potions found in the potion utility room will be dropped from player inventories upon leaving the dungeon.
- Actypoh: A powerful wand with Thunder Aspect, Mainhand Regeneration, and 100% Spell Power.
- C'thedrros: A netherite axe with massive attack damage, Bleed, and Quake.
- Etrexa: A netherite sword with high attack damage, Sweeping Edge, and Life Drain.
- Yxojh'zha: A netherite scythe with high damage and attack speed, armor, Ability Power, Fire Aspect, and Ice Aspect.
Abilities
Down in the Depths, your class is disabled. Due to this, players must obtain abilities within the Depths instead. These abilities not only include abilities similar to certain class skills, but some entirely new ones as well. Each player gets a free ability at the start and can get more via completion of reward rooms. They can also upgrade their current abilities by clearing upgrade rooms. The Depth Trinket can be used to keep track of party member's abilities.
There are seven categories of abilities; Dawnbringer, Earthbound, Flamecaller, Frostborn, Shadowdancer, Steelsage, and Windwalker. Players may only have one of each activation (i.e. shift-left click with weapon, swap key, shift-fire with bow, etc.) active skill at once. Players are additionally not limited to one category, and can select any ability given to them. However, players will only have access to 4 of the 7 trees per run and will be random each run. Because of this, players can buy special talismans corresponding to each tree from Mittens in the Depths lobby for 64 Voidstained Geodes each. Enabling a talisman guarantees that category for the player in normal mode or Rigged Endless, but only increases the chance of getting the category to 75% in Endless. Each player may only have one talisman enabled at a time.
Every ability has six rarities, increasing in performance based on said rarity. The rarities from worst to best is Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary and Twisted. Abilities can only become Twisted rarity as a possible upgrade selection in Twisted Rooms or from sacrificing a Twisted ability for two more in the specific Utility Room.
Abilities listed in charts below have X / X / X / X / X / X to signify stat changes between rarities from worst to best.

Aspect
In the first generated room in an instance, there will be a button on crying obsidian. Pressing it will open a GUI where the player may select one of three random aspects. One of the choices may also be "Get a Random Ability" which, as it implies, grants a random ability. Players may also choose to select from all 5 different options by spending 12 CCS.
Aspect selection will no longer appear after this room, so not selecting an aspect will mean the player will not have an aspect for the rest of the run.

Endless
After completing the Depths, players will be able to purchase an Endless Mode key from the gatekeeper for 48 CCS and 4 Voidstained Geodes. In Endless Mode, completing room 30 (or floor 3) will instead send the player to floor 4, which is essentially floor 1. The floors will loop continually until all players die. Every loop also adds a few delve modifiers to increase the difficulty significantly. Upon death, the player will be sent to the reward room as always and, if proceeding past room 30, will have a global announcement acknowledging how far they got.
Utility room options will be 1/3 as common starting at floor 4. Additionally, after floor 15, players will take 10% extra damage per 3 floors.
Every loop of a boss will increase the boss' HP by 1.15x the HP of the previous fight, with no cap. For example, the second fight of a boss will have 1.15x the base HP and the third fight of the boss will have 1.3225x the base HP. To counter this, bosses will not receive health and speed modifiers from delve points. Repeated bosses will also periodically summon enemies from the floor.
As mentioned earlier, Talismans will only increase the chance of getting it's respective ability type to 75% in Endless. However, using a Rigged Endless Key will guarantee the talismans selected for the players.
Completion of Floor 6 allows the player to purchase the Otherworldly Myiopsitta parrot from the Parrot Bell for 32 Voidstained Geodes
Completion of Floor 12 rewards the player with the Blind Eye of Faimynyw trophy as well as the ability to purchase the Otherworldly Myiopsitta (U) parrot from the Parrot Bell for 64 Voidstained Geodes if they have purchased the Otherworldly Myiopsitta.
