The Sound of the Abyss will fight the player in a large arena, where the fleshy crystal worm will occasionally strike down allowing for the player to hit it. Overall, this fight is one of the easier ones inThymesia, but The Sound of the Abyss does incredible damage and can easily wipe out a player if they aren’t careful in reading its tells.

The Sound of the Abyss Moveset Phase 1
The Sound of the Abyss, likethe game’s first boss Odur, has two phases. Each of these phases comes with its own moveset.
Diving Thrust
Slam and Slide
It’s important to note that in Phase 1 of The Sound of the Abyss fight,damage can only be dealt to the worm by striking its weak spots located on its sides.These are only accessible when the worm has slammed down, so players should be patient and wait to deal damage. Once the player has depleted The Sound of the Abyss' first health bar, it will enter Phase 2.
The Sound of the Abyss Phase 2
The second phase of The Sound of the Abyss fight is quite gimmicky and doesn’t really require much on the player. This phase will have players doing mainly the same things: dodging the falling crystals and the occasional larger boulder now. Once players have survived for long enough, the Sound of the Abyss will slam down once again, revealing its core. This will allow the player toperform an execution on the wormand finish the fight.

Talent Recommendations
Beginners should notethat talents can be swapped at any time, meaning players should feel free to customize talents to what they feel suits the fight.
Plague Weapon
Any plague weapon will work in this fight as players won’t be directly hitting the boss for most of the fight. However,a plague weapon that can deal sufficient burstis useful to deal high damage to the boss while it’s vulnerable.
Potions
TheLong Lasting Potionis useful in this fight due to the non-aggressive nature of the boss. Players will have plenty of time to heal between its attacks as the boss is quite slow. Another aspect of the Long Lasting Potion is the sheer value it provides to players in terms of its health benefit.
Gameplay Tips
Burst Damage
As the boss is only vulnerable for a small period of time, players should look todeal as much burst damage to the boss as they can.This means using burning Plague weapons or other high damage abilities that they have when they can.
Confirming Damage
Confirming player wound damage is just as important as dealing the wounds in the first place. Players should be extra wary about being greedy, as it’s possible they could wound the entirety of The Sound of the Abyss' health bar, only to have it heal back.
