Back to the ten worlds

7Pressure Ocean

Rule: Oxygen. Stage: Expertise.

The whole world is sea, up to y 240, with no dry land. You arrive in a diving chamber on the sea floor. Without a helmet your breath lasts about half a minute under water; a snorkel helmet, one for each ore of the world, breathes for you from a tank of 3 to 12 minutes that refills in air pockets, bubble columns, over Air Vents, with an Oxygen Capsule or at the Abyssal Press. The helmets are fragile: hits wear them fast. Below y 110 the pressure crushes you; each Diving piece and a better helmet let you dive deeper.

  • 33 sof breath without a helmet
  • 12 minof air in a Pearl Snorkel Helmet
  • y 110where the pressure starts
