Abyssal Roblox speedrun attempts focus primarily on individual floor clears across distinct rule sets, including Normal Mode, Challenge Mode, and Witness modifiers. In the cooperative obby Abyssal, developed on Roblox by nextReality Games, players traverse upward through an ancient chasm to reach the surface. Competitive timing logged on Speedrun.com tracks player completions for specific floors rather than an undivided full-game route.
A core movement mechanic documented on the official Roblox game page directly impacts routing choices: standing near other players grants a double jump. While running in a group provides this mobility advantage, climbing alone removes the proximity buff and raises platforming difficulty significantly.
Speedrun Categories and Modifiers
Submissions on the official Speedrun.com board for Abyssal are categorized by individual floor levels and subdivided by completion conditions. Recorded runs on Floor 1 distinguish whether runs use in-game Witnesses and which game mode is active:
- Beat the Floor Witness: Clearing the designated floor while interacting with or completing the floor's Witness objective.
- Beat the Floor Witnessless Normal Mode: Completing the standard floor layout without utilizing a Witness.
- Beat the Floor Witnessless Challenge Mode: Completing the floor under the harder Challenge Mode modifier without a Witness.
The community leaderboard is moderated by community members Leizox, VegetaTheSaiyan8, and zikie, tracking 46 verified runs across 13 players.

In-Game Floors and Challenge Badges
While Speedrun.com's public tables list active times for early floors, official Roblox badge data confirms that Abyssal contains seven distinct floors, each featuring standard and alternate completion criteria:
- Standard Clears: Badges are awarded for clearing Floor 1 through Floor 7.
- Challenge Mode Clears: Each floor from Floor 1 to Floor 7 features an official badge for completing it on Challenge Mode.
- Secret Challenges: Badges exist for starting a challenge on the ground floor and navigating all the way to a specific delivery point at the end of Floors 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
- Legacy Challenges: The game archives legacy achievements, such as a legacy clear for the older layout of Floor 4 on Challenge Mode.
Discussions within the speedrun forums indicate runner interest in routing subsequent stages, including faster opening routes to Floor 3 and delivery pathing for Floor 7 Secret Challenges.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does playing solo affect movement mechanics in an Abyssal speedrun?
Yes. The official game page specifies that players gain a double jump only when positioned near other players. Running solo deprives the player of this cooperative double jump, increasing movement difficulty across the obstacle courses.
Which categories are tracked for Floor 1?
Floor 1 leaderboards on Speedrun.com split runs into Beat the Floor Witness, Beat the Floor Witnessless Normal Mode, and Beat the Floor Witnessless Challenge Mode.
How many total floors exist in Abyssal?
Official badge milestones confirm seven floors in total, each featuring regular completion badges, Challenge Mode badges, and ground-to-floor delivery Secret Challenge badges.
