Chasm of the Abyss
The Chasm of the Abyss is a very dark area, so we recommend you bring along the Cast Light sorcery which you can buy from Elizabeth, or bring along a Sunlight Maggot.
Proceed down and to the left of the Chasm of the Abyss, here you will find a Crystal Lizard, kill it and proceed down and to the left and kill the four Residents and the Witch. Proceed to hug the left wall and go down until you see a path branching off above. Head left and you will be transported down.
