This is a lot of trouble for a 20G 1.10 ratio Achievement, I recommend only completionists attempt it.

THIS IS NOT MY WORK I should not take credit for it, but it was the only walkthrough I could find on the Web.
Raise Hell DLC - Evernight Abyss If you've downloaded the Raising Hell Expansion DLC, you will get this quest after completing the Mellow Hills Abyss. Since it's recommended that you complete the Golden Hills (but before starting on the Ruborian Desert) before you begin to investigate the Abyssal dungeons, you should be well on your way to some serious ass kicking after destroying Goldar and his magic Castle. You will need access to all four minions nests, in addition to some hefty armor and weapons (Arcanium arsenal) due to the greater reliance on your Overlord as an independent fighting element. Don't forget to max out your horde size and farm 300 to 500 lifeforce for all your minions. The Abyss dungeons are brutal!
The Evernight Abyss will be in Oberon's glade. It will not appear until the Mellow Hills and Heaven's Peak Abyss are completed and the Ruborian Desert is available. Build a mixed combat team (all minion types). Use a blue to activate the light switch in the blue pool to get rid of the thorny wall. The enemies here have hand cannon, so swarm them en masse and kill them off. Swarm the theater and kill the undead gunners and swordsmen. Expect to take losses and remember to keep your horde back when you crack open the bulbous plants -- just in case of the bombs. The Abyss stone is in the theater, but blocked by the recurring play the elves are forced to watch. Move into the backstage so you can find the prop to break this cycle of boredom.
The prop turns out to be Goldo's steam tank. Find a way down the back to the stage; there is a shortcut from the wraiths' dressing room (where they become dwarves). Cross the stage from the dwarf side to the elf side and push the scenery back a bit to reveal a wall.
edit The only problem I had was pushing the stage scenery back. I had to be off to one side to get my minions to lock on and push it. I couldn't do it standing in front of the scenery. Posted by olde fortran 77 on 02 Oct 11 17:33:53
Use a bomb in the elf dressing rooms to take out the blockage behind the scenery. Take out the crew behind the scenery, then push the block barring the scenery from going back further. Push the big (15 minion) scenery to the very back to reveal the special item, a mold for the Mace of Doom.
Having pushed the scenery back a bit more, use the bombs in the elf dressing room to blast the stone wall on the dwarf/wraith side of the stage; this reveals a minion ramp to the light switch (the access made possible by the block pushed earlier). With the backstage lights on, you can have the minions push the backdrop another time to the back. Open the door (switch) to access the "Terror of Evernight" - the dwarven steam tank and a warp point.
It's not over with that scenery. Since the tank needs two sticks to operate it, you need to do more searching. Move behind the scenery to find another block holding it back. Move the block out of the way, then move the scenery back again to reveal some stairs. Head there, enrage your minions and take out the Wraith mini-boss (the one looking like Death). Clean up, watch for bombs and take the stick back to the tank.
The second stick is atop the castle rampart (near the minion portals), guarded by a Wraith berserker (kills hordes of your guys instantly). Fake him out and attack him using Overlord to preserve lifeforce. Take the second stick back to the tank and "drive" the tank by targeting it and using the right stick (like the Arkanoid game). All you need to do is break the scenery; to end act 3, just slaughter the elf actors on the stage. Once that's done, use the small turnstile to roast Oberon. The flame gun turns if there are 3 or more minions on it, but stays where its aiming when 2 minions are holdinh the turnstile. Use this knowledge to roast Oberon without even attacking him with your forces.
Take the time to call up a maximum mixed horde (with blues to do revives). The abyssal stone is the same as the ones before - take it to the warp point and it will be attacked midway through. Use a guard banner to defend it and Overlord to tactically surprise enemies. Anger and Rage works well with defence missions if you have the mana. Take the stone to the warp and get out of this abyss. |
