How to Unlock Abyssal Insight Incantation

Speak With Chaos Over Multiple Runs

The exact requirements and conditions for unlocking the Incantation are still unclear.

Based on our playthroughs, the Abyssal Insight Incantation became available after meeting the following conditions, while speaking to Chaos at every opportunity over multiple runs.

• Give Chaos 1 Nectar.
• Journey to the Surface and succumb to your bloodline's curse.
• Lift the curse by chanting the Unraveling a Fateful Bond Incantation (requires planting an Origin Seed).
• Have enough interactions with Chaos.

Despite what other sources say, you don't need to unlock all Nocturnal Arm Aspects or give Chaos additional Nectar to unlock the Chaos Trials.
