Genshin Impact: What is the Secret Meaning of ABYSS Messages in Chasm?

The Chasm’s underground is filled with secret messages, including mysterious letters and abyssal writings at different locations in the video game. You’ll come across nine secret messages, usually in two parts. Deciphering these messages requires a bit of wit in Latin and decryption.

The Secret Meaning Of ABYSS Messages In Chasm – Genshin Impact

Recently, users of Reddit and players of the Genshin Impact deciphered the meanings of the ABYSS messages found in the Chasm. The abyssal messages, divided into top and bottom, are a combination of sentences. Its top part is an encrypted message, while the bottom could be directly translated to Latin.

First Abyssal Message

In its bright purple colour, the first abyssal message was translated to give the sentence, “The dweller in heaven sends the thorns”. Decrypting this message, we think it must be referring to the destruction of Chasm by Celestia.

Second Abyssal Message

The second abyssal message was translated to give the sentence, ”Not to be”.

Third Abyssal Message

The writing was translated as “I bewail the dead” at the third abyssal message location. After decryption, we think it might refer to mourning the people killed by Celestia.

Fourth Abyssal Message

The fourth message held the sentence “The growth of Agnarr”. Agnarr is a Pyro Abyss lector, and the decrypted message must mean that he’ll rise again after his defeat in the “Perils in the Dark” quest.

Fifth Abyssal Message

The fifth location held a message translated to “The way of the Abyss”. We think the message must mean the journey into the Abyss.

Sixth Abyssal Message

At the location for the sixth message, its meaning in English is “I call the living”. We think it’s a message from the abyss to the living but uncertain who is calling to the living. However, players speculate it could be the Abyss queen or twin.

Seventh Abyssal Message

The seventh message after translation means “Faithful Egill”. Egill is another Abyss lector that was taken down with Agnarr.

Eight Abyssal Message

The translation of the eighth message in English is “And Shadow”.

Ninth Abyssal Message

The final abyssal message translated to “To prevent the shedding of tears”. We think whoever wrote the message wants to prevent something that could cause tears.  However, we do not know who is causing or preventing the tears.

Players suggest the combined messages mean that the Celestia dropped the “thorn” and is still firmly against the Abyss. They think Egil and Agnarr mourn the dead and call to the survivors asking them to join the Abyss to prevent suffering.
