The Abyssal Shovel and Abyssal Pan are the ultimate endgame tools introduced in the Abyssal Depths update for the Roblox game Prospecting. They are designed to be the most powerful items for mining, offering top-tier speed, strength, and luck. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to find and acquire them.
Introduction to the Abyssal Tools
The Abyssal Shovel and Abyssal Pan represent the pinnacle of mining equipment in Prospecting. Reaching these tools is a significant endgame goal that requires preparation, navigation, and a hefty amount of in-game currency. They are essential for players who want to mine endgame minerals and craft the best possible gear with maximum efficiency.
How to Access the Abyssal Depths
Before you can even think about the tools, you must first gain entry to the dangerous Abyssal Depths.
Locate the Entrance: The journey begins at the Deeproot Spring area. Look for the entrance to the Abyssal Depths here.
Craft a Firefly Flare: Inside the initial part of the Depths, you will find a crafting table. You must craft a Firefly Flare. This item is not optional; it creates a protective bubble of light that keeps you alive in the oppressive darkness of the Abyss.
Stay in the Light: You must remain close to your placed Firefly Flare at all times. Venturing outside its light will quickly lead to your demise.
Preparing for the Maze: The 25,000 Mineral Requirement
Simply entering the Abyss is not enough. To access the maze where the tools are hidden, you must meet a specific goal. You need to collect a total of 25,000 minerals while inside the Abyssal Depths. This is a cumulative goal, meaning you can do it over multiple trips.
Once you have mined 25,000 Abyss minerals, a gateway to a labyrinth will open, granting you access to the final challenge.
Finding the Abyssal Pan Location
The Abyssal Pan is located on the right-hand path of the maze. Follow these directions carefully:
From the maze entrance, take the right path.

Following this path will lead you directly to the Abyssal Pan.
