The Abyss Valentine's Day update introduced a variety of features, including new fish mutations, cosmetics, and two additional questlines. Among these additions is a limited-time merchant, known as Cupcake, who appears exclusively in the Valentine's area. This area is only open during the event and will close on February 28th, making it essential for players to visit before it becomes inaccessible.
To reach the Valentine's area, players need to progress through the game's tutorial and head to the Forgotten Deep Dome, the first major exploration point in Abyss. The location is straightforward to find. Players should look for pink Valentine's Day-themed flags and heart-shaped decorations situated between the Harpoon store and Richard at the Bestiary. Passing through these decorations leads directly into the Valentine's area, where both Cupcake and Big Boss can be found.
Interacting with Cupcake, the Valentine's Merchant
Cupcake is stationed behind a desk on the right-hand side upon entering the Valentine's area. Big Boss occupies a chair to the left, while Cupcake serves as the event's merchant. The merchant offers a selection of items that are exclusive to the Valentine's event, and players can interact with Cupcake at any point to view the available stock. The items on display are arranged with special weapon skins on display racks beside the merchant, while three other items rotate on the table in front. This rotating selection encourages players to revisit the merchant regularly to find specific items.
Event Currency and How to Use It
All purchases at the Valentine's merchant require VTickets, or Valentine's Tickets, which are unique to the event. Players can earn VTickets by catching Valentine's-mutated fish throughout Abyss or by completing the two quests provided by Big Boss in the Valentine's area. It is important to note that VTickets cannot be used outside the event, making timely spending crucial.
Available Items and Their Effects
Cupcake’s stock includes a mix of weapon skins, consumables, and event-exclusive collectibles. The Heartbroken Gun is a skin for the Ruined Gun and requires players to own the base weapon before applying the skin. Similarly, the Cupid Gun is a skin for the Crossbow Gun and also requires ownership of the original weapon. Consumables include potions that temporarily boost stats or tube speed, as well as basic oxygen pods that restore oxygen levels. The Heart Geode is a collectible item exclusive to this event. Players should plan their purchases according to their VTickets balance and the items they prioritize for gameplay or cosmetic purposes.
Tips for Visiting the Valentine's Merchant
New players do not need extensive experience in Abyss to access the Valentine's area or Cupcake’s offerings. The area is easily recognizable, and the proximity to the Forgotten Deep Dome ensures that players can reach it shortly after completing the tutorial. Because the merchant’s stock rotates, checking in on a regular basis increases the chances of obtaining desired items. Additionally, players should focus on earning VTickets efficiently through mutated fish or quests to maximize the number of purchases before the event concludes.
