Introduction: Why is this Quest So Hard?
The Abyss is not a walk in the park. It is a high-level zone designed to disorient you. The “Burger in Abyss” quest isn’t just about finding an item; it’s about navigation and survival. Many players give up because they get lost in the fog or ambushed by Shadow Creepers.
But here’s the good news: Once you understand the layout and the specific mechanics of the Abyss, finding the burger becomes a breeze. I’ve broken this guide down into simple, actionable steps.
Who is Grumpy Hank?
You can find Grumpy Hank hanging out near the fountain in the Central Plaza. He’s the guy looking furious and complaining about his hunger. If you talk to him, he’ll mumble something about “the best burger in the world” being lost in the Abyss.
Tip: Make sure you have the “Charisma” skill at level 2 before talking to him. If you don’t, he won’t trust you enough to give you the quest. Check out our guide on Best Skill Builds if you are struggling with skill points.
Prerequisites: Preparing for the Abyss
Don’t just rush into the Abyss unprepared. You will likely die within seconds. Here is what you need to do before you even step foot in the dungeon:
- Level Up: Ensure you are at least Level 15. The enemies in the Abyss scale with your level, but anything below 15 is instant death.
- Light Source: The Abyss is pitch black. You need a Torch, a Lantern, or the “Night Vision” perk. Without light, your movement speed is reduced by 50%, and you can’t see interactable items.
- Stock Up Potions: Bring at least 3 Health Potions and 1 Antidote (there are poisonous spiders near the burger location).
- Equip Gear: If you have fire resistance gear, wear it. The “Inferno Burger” generates heat that damages you over time if you stand too close without protection.
How to Find the Burger in Abyss: Step-by-Step Guide
Alright, let’s get to the main event. Follow these steps precisely to locate the burger and deliver it to Hank.
Step 1: Entering the Abyss
The entrance to the Abyss is located in the sewers behind the Old Church. Fast travel to the “Church Ruins” waypoint and head north until you see a broken grate. Interact with it to enter the Abyss zone.
Note: If you are playing on a mobile device, make sure your graphics settings are optimized because the fog effects in the Abyss can cause lag on older phones.
Step 2: Navigating the Maze
Once inside, you will notice a fork in the path.
- Left Path: Leads to the “Echoing Caves” (High level loot, not what we want).
- Right Path: Leads to the “Rotting Hallway” (This is the way).
Take the Right Path. As you walk, keep your hand on the wall (literally, keep touching the right wall). This is the classic maze-solving technique, and it works perfectly in the game code to prevent you from getting looped.
Step 3: Solving the Fire Puzzle
After about 2 minutes of walking down the Right Path, you will reach a large circular room with a bonfire in the middle. This is the Fire Room. The door to the Burger is locked.
How to solve it:
There are four unlit torches in the room corners. You must light them in a specific order based on the color of the flames:
- Blue (North)
- Red (East)
- Green (South)
- Yellow (West)
Pro Tip: If you mess up the order, a Fire Elemental spawns. You can kill it, or just run out of the room and reset the puzzle.
Step 4: Locating the Inferno Burger
Once the puzzle is solved, the gate on the far side opens. Walk through, and you will enter a small kitchen-like sanctuary. In the center, sitting on a pristine silver plate, is the Inferno Burger.
Be Careful! As soon as you pick it up, the room starts to fill with gas. You have exactly 60 seconds to leave the Abyss before you pass out and fail the quest (dropping the burger at the entrance). Do not stop to fight enemies here; just sprint.
Step 5: Returning to Grumpy Hank
Now that you have the burger, backtrack to the entrance. Because the gas is chasing you, you can’t use the “wall-touching” method effectively. Just follow the minimap arrow pointing to the exit.
Once you surface, head straight to the Central Plaza.
Completing the Quest
Talk to Grumpy Hank. He will be ecstatic.
Dialogue Option:
- “I found your burger.” -> Standard Reward.
- “I差点吃了它 (I almost ate it).” -> Hank gives you an extra “Hank’s Secret Sauce” item.
Hand over the item, enjoy your XP, and bask in the glory of completing one of the most frustrating quests in the game.
Advanced Tips & Common Mistakes
I’ve seen a lot of players make the same mistakes while trying to find the Burger in Abyss. Here are some advanced strategies to ensure your success.
Mistake 1: Ignoring the “Spoilage” Mechanic
The burger is a temporary item. If you stay in the Abyss for more than 30 minutes after picking it up, it disappears. This means no exploring for side chests once you grab the burger. Grab it and go.
Mistake 2: Fighting the Shadow King
In the Rotting Hallway, you might bump into a mini-boss called the Shadow King. He is level 20 and very tough. Do not fight him. You can stealth past him by crouching in the dark corners of the hallway. Fighting him wastes time and resources you need for the escape.
Strategy: Using the “Burger Boost”
Did you know that while the burger is in your inventory, you gain a +5% movement speed buff? This is intended to help you escape the gas. Use this speed boost to sprint past the Fire Elementals if you have to backtrack through the Fire Room.
Troubleshooting
Q: I can’t find Grumpy Hank. Where is he?
If Hank isn’t in the Central Plaza, he might be patrolling the market streets. Wait for in-game morning (6:00 AM), and he will return to his usual spot.
Q: The puzzle door won’t open.
Make sure you are lighting the torches quickly. If you take too long between torches, the previous ones extinguish. You need to light all four within a 20-second window. Playing on a PC with high FPS settings helps here because the interaction hitboxes can be finicky on laggy devices.
Q: I died in the Abyss. Is the burger gone?
Yes. If you die, you drop the burger where you died. You have one chance to run back to your corpse and pick it up before it despawns.
FAQ’s
How do I unlock the Abyss area?
You must reach Level 15 and complete the “Slums Cleanup” main story quest. Once completed, the grate behind the Old Church becomes interactable.
What is the reward for the Grumpy Hank Quest?
You receive 500 Gold XP, a permanent +1 Stamina Boost, and Hank’s Medallion, which increases your bartering prices with merchants by 10%.
Can I do the quest in co-op mode?
Yes! In co-op mode, only one player needs to pick up the burger, but all players in the party will get credit for the quest completion. It’s actually easier in co-op because one player can light torches while the other fends off enemies.
Does the Burger spoil if I teleport?
No, using fast travel waypoints does not cause the burger to spoil. The spoilage timer only ticks down while you are physically inside the Abyss zone.
Where is the best place to grind levels before this quest?
I recommend the “Abandoned Mines” area. The enemies there drop decent loot and give enough XP to get you from Level 10 to 15 in about an hour. For more grinding spots, read our Best Leveling Spots Guide.
