==SummaryDescription==
'''Infernal Abyss''' is a hellish-like [[Maps|map]]. It has been remade several times since its addition.
 
'''Infernal Abyss''' has the [[All Paths]] modifier. The [[All Paths]] modifier duplicates all enemies for each path with the exception of bosses. It also increases {{Coins|Coins}} and {{Exp|}} rewards by 10%.
'''Infernal Abyss''' is a two-pathed map, so enemies alternate between the spawn points.
 
==Design & Path==

|-|Version 3 =
The three paths start at the tentacles and end at a cave. These maps take multiple turns, avoiding natural terrain. The left and middle paths intersect first, and then all three paths intersect near the stone bridge. The path then goes over a stone bridge between two islands. The left and middle path have a very similar length, while the right path is a bit longer than both.
The third version of '''Infernal Abyss''' was similar to the second version, except that the baseplate magma was replaced with orange terrain water.
|-|Version 2 =4
|The fourth version of '''Infernal Abyss''' appeared to have been a former metropolitan city that had been destroyed and is now an island. A large lava pool surrounded what remained of the city. All the skyscrapers that once stood in the city have now been destroyed, with most on fire. Some of the smaller stone buildings had a more recognizable structure. Various burnt out and destroyed vehicles were scattered around the map. The pipe system that the city once had was exposed, though the lampposts remained standing. Several dark rocks spiked out from points in the map.
The second version of '''Infernal Abyss''' took place in the middle of a magma pool with two main islands that the paths crossed over, and a bridge that spanned the gap between the islands. There were two other smaller rock islands and some evidence of life, with bones and a cage. Various rocky hills and chains could be seen, including floating pieces of rock by the bridge. Dark rocky triangles encased the map.<br/>There were two portals where the stone paths began at and one exit as the paths intersected early on the first island. The path went over the bridge to cross between the two islands. The left path was slightly shorter than the right path (facing towards the portals). The path ended at a cave on the second island.
 
|-|Version 1 =
The path began at the two entrances to what appears to be the underworld. As there were two paths, enemies were divided between entrance points. The path followed the road system of the map. It intersected near the middle of the map before the path reached a cave at the end of the map, in the shadow of a destroyed skyscraper.
The first version of '''Infernal Abyss''' took place in the middle of a magma pool. There were two main islands, that were both black, with two smaller pillars seen to the side of the islands. Several grey bones, cages and cliff mounds could be seen on the islands.<br/>The black paths began at two lava portals before intersecting on the first island. The path then crossed over the grey bone bridge that linked the two island before reaching the cave on the second island.

==Interactive Map==
{{Map:Infernal Abyss}}
 
==Rewards==
The game calculates how many {{Coins|Coins}}, {{Gem|Gems}} and {{Exp|}} you receive based on how many waves you survived and if you won a match. During periods of 100% more {{Exp|}} (Friday – Sunday), any {{Exp|}} earned is multiplied by 2x through the [[XP Boost]] modifier. The VIP [[Gamepasses|gamepass]] also multiplies any {{Exp|}} earned by 1.25x through the [[VIP Boost]] modifier. These two boosts are additive. Regular {{Exp|}} boosts are multiplicative with other modifiers present on this map.
 
Any rewards that end in a decimal point is rounded down, no matter the first figure of the leading decimal.
 
{{Rewards|Insane|Modifiers = 1.1|Hardcore = Hide|Voidcore = Hide}}
 
==Strategy==
*All enemies, except major bosses, except [[Fallen Swordmaster]] spawn thrice on this map due to the [[All Paths]] modifier.
*The place where the paths intersect is where most ground towers should be placed to maximize a tower's range to hit the most amount of enemies.
**The increased amount of enemies allows you to gain more cash by damaging enemies. The [[Cowboy]] and [[Golden Cowboy]] can also generate more cash because of this, though the high amount of enemies may overwhelm them.
*The main area to place cliff towers is near the start of the map, though be aware of the limited space on top of the buildings.
*As all paths have a similar length, once all the paths intersect enemies from each path will be very close to each other, making AOE towers like the [[Pyromancer]], [[Gladiator]], [[Mortar]] or [[Executioner]] very useful here.
**[[Ranger]]s can effectively cover the a good part of the map, if a [[DJ Booth]] is also placed down.
**These towers should either be placed at the second island, or near the bridge at the first island.
*The [[Electroshocker]], [[Frost Blaster]] and [[Freezer]] are very useful for delaying enemies, allowing one path to be defeated before moving onto the other.
*Towers should either be placed near the intersection at the first island or on the second island.
*[[Military Base]]s are somewhat useful here, but bear in mind that only one [[Units|unit]] will spawn per [[Military Base]], and it will go down a random path.
**Do note that the first island has limited placement spots, as most of them are taken up by rocks which cannot have ground towers be placed on them.
*The [[Rocketeer]], [[Mortar]] and [[Demoman]] are highly recommended on this [[Maps|map]] as enemies from both paths often cluster around the intersection.
***However, there are quite a lot of cliff spots there, much more than on the second island.
*On this map, due to the relatively similar path lengths, the targeting system may target enemies that are not actually first (even if your towers are set to ''First'').

==Trivia==
*Prior to it being remade, '''Infernal Abyss''' was considered one of the hardest [[Maps|maps]] in the game. This was because '''Infernal Abyss''' had two paths and both theof pathsthem were relatively short.
**It was remade on the 8th of December 2019. Each path was made much longer, reducing the difficulty of the map.
***Having been remade on the 24th of June 2023, it is now once again one of the hardest standard maps in the game, due to being a three-pathed map with the [[All Paths]] modifier and its paths being shortened.
*Like many other maps that existed prior to the MEGA Update, this map was remade to give it a mid-poly look, replacing the old blocky version.
**ThisLike mapmany wasother furthermaps updatedthat inexisted prior to the Frost[[Release v1.0|MEGA Update]], so that thethis map was moreremade into linegive withit thea artisticmid-poly stylelook, ofreplacing the gameold blocky version.
**This map was further updated in the [[Overhaul v1.3|Frost Invasion Update]] so that the map was more in line with the artistic style of the game.
*Like every other two-pathed map, all enemies (including major bosses) used to spawn twice prior to the Frost Update. Enemies now alternate in spawn points between the paths.
*After the [[Overhaul v1.3|Frost Invasion Update]], enemies alternated between entrances instead of all enemies (including major bosses) spawning twice.
**On the 24th of June 2023, the map was remade and gained the [[All Paths]] modifier, which makes all enemies except major bosses spawn thrice.
*Multiple [[Humvee]]s and [[Humvee|Trucks]] were scattered around on the fourth version of the map.
*The first three people that triumphed '''Infernal Abyss''' in [[Hardcore Mode|Hardcore]] mode received their own skins. These skins are the {{Color|ContentCreator|Dank}}, {{Color|ContentCreator|CrazRex}} and {{Color|ContentCreator|5ouls}} skins.
