A large new update for Anthem was recently deployed to the servers. The patch not only brought new features for the ongoing Cataclysm, but also a little secret. If you keep your eyes open in the Emerald Abyss, you might find a new cutscene.
What is this secret? On the evening of September 4th, a huge new update for Anthem was released. Patch 1.40 brought a new event for the Cataclysm, new War Chests, and several bug fixes as well as quality-of-life changes.
In addition, the official Twitter account of Anthem announced a little secret before the update. Players were advised to take a closer look at the sights around the Emerald Abyss. You never know what tomorrow may hold for them.
What is there to see? As you approach the Emerald Abyss, you will immediately notice the huge, serpent-like structure reaching up to the sky. This is a relic of the Shapers or a part of a Shaper machine that has suddenly risen. All of this is connected to the Cataclysm and is meant to show how the world changes with the event.
But that’s not all there is to see. A little south of the ruins of the Sanctuary, you can find a chest that you can activate to see a new cutscene.
Where can you find the cutscene? Head into the Emerald Abyss and stick to the ruins. Stay south and follow the river to a small waterfall that hides a hole you can dive into. Stand on this “waterfall” and look at the serpent-like Shaper structure. Now look to the right and you will see the cliff in the distance.
Watch out for small stairs and two torches. The chest is located a bit higher and overlooks the valley.
If you haven’t found the chest yet or want to watch the clip again, we’ve embedded the appropriate YouTube video for you:
