abyssal woods/abyss big and empty?

[loken]

Took a long time to get to this place and doesnt seem to be anything worth it there, am I missing something?

[Goro]

just keep walking.

Kind of like the Cerluean coast map portion. Definitely a couple of the areas look nice, but there's barely anything there.

2 weapons (fist and bottle), 2 cookbook (small and big pot) and a Shadow Rune 7
That's about all I found in the area.

It's massively empty with not alot to find, made all the worse with no mount. There's a main place to find with a boss, but there's not a lot. It might be the worst area of the game lol

[Tbobflow]

i didnt find alot, just i think a cookbook and a weapon and one building. i was suprised at the lack of enemies and items there. was hoping for a frenzied armor or more than one weapon but there just wasnt anything. i could have missed it but i think its a lame part of the map which sucks to say.

Abysmal

There is a remembrance boss in a pretty neat castle/manor type area.

You have to do a bit of a stealth section to get there though.

The boss fight is kinda meh compared to other DLC fights but it's fun and fairly telegraphed

Edit: judging by the replies here, people didn't explore enough to find it.

There is only a litle dungeon and a church the rest is like the name of the area abyss . And you can't use torrent for no reason.

Wellcome to the DLC with huge empty locations with a few same mobs. There is a church with some stuff and a temple with a boss on the opposite side. Just try to avoid funny looking npc cuz they are immortal and can oneshot you.

Its cause of the enemies there, Torrent would let you easily escape them.

These enemies WILL kill you if they land their one single attack.

there's a mansion you can find that has a remembrance boss, it's a pretty short dungeon but i think it's neat and the boss there is actually pretty fun
afaik that's basically the only thing of note in the entire area though, it's a LOT of aimless walking to find the one point of interest that exists. very unfortunate because the atmosphere of the zone is amazing but there's just almost nothing there

Wanted to let you know, they are killable, and they all drop items when killed.
But ive not figured out how to get torrent to stop being afraid yet. Maybe you have to kill all the "immortal" guys.

Whole place is a haunted forest trope, meant to make you feel uneasy and turn your imagination against you. Once you realize there's nothing more threatening than madness rats and an invader or two to deal with, it loses it's charm quickly. Or, as was my case first time through, never had charm in the first place.

All the notable items (ie weapons) are concentrated around the ruined church at one end of the area and the manor at the other end. Everything else is some flavor of crafting mat, used exclusively for the cookbooks you also find in the area. Apparently you can kill the sunflower-heads you're meant to stealth by, but idk why you'd bother since after you do it once you can just warp past them.

I think the intention was to have the entire map feel like a dungeon. Having said that, the area definitely feels rushed. It has so much potential. Would have been nice to see a bigger dungeon in the mansion, a catacomb or gaol, under the water fall. A village surrounding the church. Maybe even one of the nomadic merchants.
