Abyssus Secret Pond Guide (Fish Deity)

The **Secret Pond** in Abyssus is part of a deity fish quest called the *Mystery of the Pond*. To activate it, players must defeat three elite enemies near the Royal Abyss, which rotate guardian statues in the lobby fountain when vanquished.

Steps to Solve the Mystery of the Pond

Advance through your run until reaching the area just before the Royal Abyss final boss.
Face one of three randomly appearing elite enemies: **Frog**, **Mage**, or another variant.
Defeating an elite turns its matching statue in the fountain lobby, causing water to flow from it.
Repeat this for all elites across multiple runs (or use modifiers) until all statues activate.

Optimization Strategies

**Use modifiers**: Activate a modifier to force all three elite fights in a single run, saving time.
**Target priority**: Focus on defeating the **Frog** first (easiest), then tackle the **Mage** (hardest).
Track statue progress to avoid redundant battles.
