Surviving the Abyss Anomaly | How to Stop It

Surviving the Abyss is a game about deepwater rig construction. As you might have guessed from the name, there is a little more to it than that. In addition to managing resources and constructing buildings, you also must fend off a terrifying creature known as The Anomaly. Unsure of how to deal with this thing? Our guide has the answers. Let’s dive into our Surviving the Abyss Anomaly Guide!

What is the Anomaly?

We don’t know a lot about The Anomaly. What is it? Where does it come from? Its origin and nature are mysterious. It comes in the form of a shadowy, tentacled creature seemingly out of nowhere. What we do know about this creature is that it loves destruction and – if you let it – it will destroy everything you have built.

If you are still early on in the game, it is likely you have not encountered The Anomaly yet. Don’t worry – it’s coming. The anomaly does not appear right away, but instead waits until you have put some time into the game before making its first appearance.

Fending Off The Anomaly

There is one simple tool to fighting off The Anomaly: UV light. Like with most things in this game, there is a tradeoff when you use it. While shining UV light on the creature will keep it at bay, it also doubles the rate you use fuel for as long as it is active. This is an important tradeoff you must keep in mind.

About Surviving the Abyss

After months of hype, Surviving the Abyss finally dropped in January of 2023. It is first and foremost a game about resource management. Can you keep your structures online and growing while dealing with dwindling resources? The addition of The Anomaly only adds new, interesting layers to the game.

That wraps up our Surviving the Abyss Anomaly guide. Have you had any luck fending off The Anomaly? If so, we’d love to hear about it. Leave us a message in the comment section and let us know how it went!
