Abyssus Ancient Core Mastery — Deal 2,000 in One Hit
Deal 2000 damage with a single hit of the Ancient Core. Land one sufficiently strong Core hit rather than accumulating damage across repeated casts.
Deal 2000 damage with a single hit of the Ancient Core.
Reward: Ancient Core Mods
Unlock Ancient Core from the Lobby artefact room. Its listed base weakspot damage is 1000. Build ability damage and favorable damage conditions before attempting the 2000-damage hit.

Open this challenge in Build Creator →Attempt sequence
- Equip the Core and choose Upgraded Inventions and applicable direct damage support.
- Use a full-health damage window for Perfectionist or the beginning of an encounter for Assassination. Shared Investment helps if the ability has several Blessings.
- Land a single Core hit and inspect the damage and challenge notification. Avoid enemies with damage-reduction effects when assessing the result.
Why the challenge may not trigger
- Multiple smaller hits do not meet the one-hit requirement.
- Weapon-only modifiers do not automatically increase ability damage.
- Death Strike and Trigger Happy are useful after mastery, but should not be prerequisites for unlocking its own reward pool.
If the ideal items do not appear
Keep stacking applicable bonuses if the hit remains below the threshold. This page does not assume every multiplier stacks additively or promise an exact two-item solution.
Keep the exact in-game requirement separate from this suggested route. Compare the notification and Logbook after your attempt; the Creator checks your planned choices, not the live achievement.
After unlocking the unique Forge pool, use the Ancient Core build guide to plan a complete ability route.
