Diving into the depths of Roblox Abyss quickly teaches you one thing: moving between regions is time-consuming and oxygen-draining. What if I told you there’s a hidden fast travel system that most new players completely miss? I’m talking about the teleportation mechanic that’s locked behind a seemingly simple quest. In this complete guide, I’ll show you exactly how to unlock teleportation in Abyss and reveal the precise locations of all four Scientist quest items you need to find.
Before we dive deep into the specifics, here’s what you need to know about the teleportation system in Abyss:
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Quest Giver | Scientist NPC (located near potty toilet, right of Harpoon Shop) |
| Required Items | Door, Toilet Paper, Toilet Seat, Power Relay (4 total items) |
| Quest Location | Forgotten Deep (Oxygen Zone/Starting Area) |
| Unlock Requirement | Complete Scientist’s Quest 1 |
| Teleportation Cost | Approximately $150 per teleport |
| Available Destinations | Ancient Sands, Spirit Roots, and other unlocked regions with teleporters |
| Prerequisite | Must activate teleporter in destination zone first |
The teleportation system is a game-changer for Abyss progression, especially if you don’t have the Sell Anywhere Gamepass. Without it, you’ll waste precious oxygen swimming back to sell fish at the Kraken every single time. Let me walk you through everything you need to know.
Teleportation in Abyss isn’t just a convenience feature it’s essential for efficient progression. The system works differently than you might expect, and understanding how it functions will save you hours of frustration.
The fast travel mechanic in Abyss is tied directly to the Scientist NPC’s quest line. Unlike other Roblox games where teleportation might be instant or free, Abyss takes a more realistic approach. You need to physically unlock each teleportation point in different biomes before you can use them.
The visual effect is unique too—you’ll literally be flushed through a toilet-themed teleporter. It’s quirky, unexpected, and perfectly fits the underwater survival theme of the game. The developers clearly have a sense of humor, and it shows in how they’ve implemented this system.
Here’s the truth: if you’re serious about progressing through Abyss efficiently, you need to unlock the teleporter before moving to Ancient Sands. Without it, every fishing trip becomes a tedious back-and-forth journey that drains your oxygen tanks and wastes your time.
Players without the Sell Anywhere Gamepass will find themselves constantly swimming back to the Forgotten Deep just to sell their catches to the Kraken. This isn’t just annoying—it actively slows down your progression and makes grinding feel like a chore rather than an adventure.

The Scientist’s Quest is your ticket to unlocking fast travel, and getting started is surprisingly straightforward. Let me break down exactly what you need to do.
The Scientist NPC is located in the Forgotten Deep, which is your starting area (also known as the Oxygen Zone). You’ll find him standing next to a porta-potty toilet structure to the right of Henry’s Harpoon Shop. He’s impossible to miss once you know where to look.
Here’s a pro tip: wait until you’ve completed the short tutorial before accepting this quest. Why? Because the tutorial text can block your inventory interface, making it unnecessarily difficult to collect the quest items. Once the tutorial is done, head straight to the Scientist and press ‘E’ to interact with him.
The Scientist will explain that his teleportation device is broken and needs four specific components to function again. Your mission is to scavenge these items from around the Forgotten Deep safe zone.
The Scientist needs four items to repair his teleporter:
All four items are located within the safe bubble area of Forgotten Deep, so you won’t need to venture into dangerous depths or worry about oxygen levels while searching for them. Each item can be collected simply by approaching it and pressing the ‘E’ key.
Let’s start with the first item on your list: the teleportation chamber door.
The door is one of the easier items to locate, and you’ll find it near David, the Tubes merchant NPC. David runs the shop where you’ll eventually purchase tubes for deeper diving, so familiarizing yourself with his location helps for future reference too.
Exact Location Steps:
The door is massive and painted bright blue, so once you’re in the general area, you literally can’t miss it. It stands out against the darker underwater environment and practically calls attention to itself.
When approaching David’s shop from the center of the safe zone, keep your eyes on the right side of the building. The Pufferfish Tube is one of the shop items displayed outside, and the door leans against the shed wall right behind it. If you see the lifebuoy, you’re in the perfect spot.
Press ‘E’ when you’re close enough, and the door will automatically be collected and sent to the Scientist’s teleporter machine. One down, three to go!
The toilet paper might be the easiest item to find in the entire quest, but only if you know where to look.
You’ll find the toilet paper underneath a round wooden table located to the left of Henry’s Harpoon Shop. Here’s what makes this location special: the three NPCs sitting around this table are actually the developers of Abyss. It’s a fun Easter egg that adds personality to the game world.
How to Find It:
The toilet paper is easy to spot once you’re at the table—it’s a standard white toilet paper roll that contrasts with the darker ocean floor. Simply approach it and press ‘E’ to collect it.
As I mentioned, those three NPCs aren’t random background characters. They represent the development team behind Abyss. It’s these small touches that make Roblox games special—developers who care enough to include themselves in their creation and add humor to what could have been a standard fetch quest.
The toilet seat is probably the trickiest item to find for most players, but I’ll make it simple for you.
Richard is the Bestiary NPC in Forgotten Deep, and he’s your key landmark for finding the toilet seat. He’s the guy wearing a cowboy hat and glasses, manning a stand filled with books. You’ll typically find him near the central hub area, close to the leaderboard.
Toilet Seat Location Process:
The toilet seat is painted blue with the seat up, and it’s partially buried in the ocean floor. It might blend in slightly with the environment, which is why the tree landmark is so crucial. Once you know to look behind Richard’s tree, you’ll spot it immediately.
Many new players rush past Richard’s area looking for the toilet seat without realizing it’s hidden behind the tree. The tree is large enough that it completely obscures the toilet from most viewing angles. This is why using Richard’s stand as your starting point is essential—approach the tree from his location, walk around it, and you’ll find the toilet waiting for you.
Press ‘E’ to collect it, and you’re three-fourths of the way done!
The Power Relay is your fourth and final item needed to activate the teleporter. Let’s find it.
The Power Relays are located near Billy, the storage NPC who manages your portable storage system. Billy stands next to a large blue storage container in the central hub area of Forgotten Deep.
Precise Location Instructions:
The Power Relays look like two antenna-style devices with a power coil in the middle. They’re metallic and technological-looking, which makes sense given their purpose. The platform they’re on is slightly elevated, so make sure you’re looking at the right height level.
The blue storage container is massive and impossible to miss—it’s the same container where you’ll store overflow items throughout your Abyss journey. Since you’ll be visiting Billy frequently anyway, remembering this location serves double duty for future reference.
Approach the Power Relays and press ‘E’ to collect them. They’ll automatically be sent to join the other three items at the Scientist’s teleporter machine.
You’ve gathered all four items—now it’s time to finish what you started.
With all four quest items collected (Door, Toilet Paper, Toilet Seat, and Power Relay), head back to the Scientist NPC at the porta-potty teleporter. He’s right where you left him, eagerly waiting for you to complete his quest.
Press ‘E’ to interact with the Scientist and hand over the items. He’ll be thrilled that you’ve found everything he needs to repair the teleportation device.
Once you deliver all four items, the Scientist will activate the teleporter immediately. Congratulations! You’ve now unlocked one of the most valuable progression tools in Abyss.
The teleporter you’ve just activated serves as your home base teleportation point. This is the first teleporter in what will eventually become your fast travel network across Abyss’s various biomes.

Now that you’ve unlocked teleportation, let me explain how to actually use this system.
Here’s something crucial that many players don’t realize: unlocking the Scientist’s teleporter in Forgotten Deep isn’t enough to teleport everywhere. You need to physically travel to each new zone and activate the teleporter located there before you can use it for fast travel.
Think of it like discovering fast travel points in other open-world games. Each biome in Abyss (Ancient Sands, Spirit Roots, etc.) has its own teleporter that must be activated before you can teleport to that location.
Using a teleporter is simple:
The cost is minimal compared to the time and oxygen you save, making it absolutely worth the investment every single time.
Each teleportation costs around $150 in Abyss currency. While this might seem expensive when you’re just starting out, it becomes pocket change once you’re catching valuable fish in deeper zones. The time saved alone makes this cost negligible—you’ll make back that $150 from a single good fish catch in advanced areas.
For players without the Sell Anywhere Gamepass, the teleporter becomes your lifeline. Instead of swimming all the way back to Forgotten Deep to sell fish at the Kraken, you can teleport back instantly, sell your catches, and teleport right back to continue fishing.
Let’s explore where you’ll find teleporters in each major zone of Abyss.
The Forgotten Deep teleporter is the one you just activated with the Scientist’s Quest. It’s located next to Henry’s Harpoon Shop by the porta-potty structure. This serves as your home base for fast travel.
Ancient Sands is the second major biome you’ll reach in Abyss. To get there, you’ll need at least the Pufferfish Tube to handle the depth.
How to Find It:
Activating this teleporter allows you to fast travel between Forgotten Deep and Ancient Sands instantly.
Spirit Roots is located beyond Ancient Sands and requires even better equipment to reach. The teleporter follows a similar pattern—once you discover the area, you’ll find a teleporter that can be activated for future fast travel.
As Abyss continues to receive updates, more biomes and teleporter locations will be added. The pattern remains consistent: explore new areas, find the teleporter, activate it, and add it to your fast travel network.
Unlocking the teleporter early in your Abyss journey provides massive strategic benefits.
Players who unlock the teleporter before venturing to Ancient Sands progress significantly faster than those who don’t. Here’s why: every fishing trip in Ancient Sands yields better fish with higher sell values. Being able to teleport back to Forgotten Deep to sell these fish, then teleport back to Ancient Sands to continue fishing, creates an incredibly efficient grinding loop.
Without the teleporter, you’d spend half your oxygen swimming back and forth. With it, you can maximize your time in profitable fishing zones.
The teleporter transforms how you make money in Abyss. Instead of small, inefficient fishing trips limited by oxygen and travel time, you can now operate like a professional:
This cycle is the foundation of efficient money-making in Abyss. The $150 teleportation cost is easily offset by the value of fish you catch in the time you save.
The Sell Anywhere Gamepass allows players to sell fish from any location without returning to an NPC. It’s a premium feature that many players consider essential. However, if you don’t have this gamepass, the teleporter becomes absolutely crucial.
Without Gamepass or Teleporter: Swim from fishing zone → Swim back to Kraken → Sell fish → Swim back to fishing zone (massive oxygen and time loss)
Without Gamepass but With Teleporter: Fish in zone → Teleport to Kraken → Sell fish → Teleport back (minimal time loss, small monetary cost)
With Gamepass: Fish anywhere → Sell instantly (ultimate convenience)
The teleporter serves as the free alternative that bridges the gap between basic gameplay and premium convenience.
Let me save you from the mistakes I made (and watched countless other players make) when unlocking the teleporter.
The single biggest mistake players make is postponing the Scientist’s Quest. Many new players think, “I’ll do this later when I have more time,” not realizing that every minute they delay costs them efficiency in the long run.
Start this quest as soon as you finish the tutorial. All four items are in the safe zone, the quest takes maybe 10 minutes maximum, and the benefits last your entire Abyss journey.
The toilet seat behind Richard’s tree is the most commonly missed item. Players circle the entire safe zone looking for it, not realizing they need to use the tree as a landmark. The second most missed item is the Power Relay—players find the blue storage container but don’t realize they need to look on the platform with the wooden crates.
Use the landmarks I’ve provided in this guide, and you’ll find every item on your first attempt.
Here’s a mistake that causes rage: players unlock the teleportation system, travel to Ancient Sands, fish for hours, and then realize they can’t teleport back because they forgot to activate the Ancient Sands teleporter when they arrived.
Make it a habit: whenever you enter a new zone for the first time, immediately find and activate the teleporter. Future you will thank present you for this simple act.
While $150 per teleport isn’t much, running out of money mid-session is embarrassing and frustrating. Always keep a cushion of at least $1,000 in your account for teleportation fees, oxygen tanks, and emergency purchases.
Now that you know the basics, let me share some advanced strategies.
The most successful Abyss players create repeatable fishing routes that maximize profit per oxygen tank:
Example Route:
This route costs $300 in teleportation fees per cycle but generates thousands in fish sales. The profit margin is massive.
Sometimes walking (swimming) is actually better than teleporting:
Many quest chains in Abyss require you to travel between multiple zones. The teleporter makes completing these quests infinitely easier. Before starting a quest chain, activate all relevant teleporters so you can zip between locations without wasting oxygen or time.
Unlocking the teleporter marks your transition from beginner to intermediate player. Here’s what comes next.
After unlocking the teleporter, your next goals should be:
Skip the Fire Tube and Air Rifle Gun—they’re trap purchases that don’t provide enough value. Save your money for the equipment that actually advances your depth capability.
With teleportation unlocked, prioritize these quests:
Once you have the Pufferfish Tube and active teleporter, you’re ready for Ancient Sands. Follow the objective marker west from Forgotten Deep until you reach the massive stone arch. Look for Crazy Jeff’s sign under the arch—it marks the entrance to a cave with breathable air.
Inside this cave, you’ll find Marcus, who sells the Boat Tube and Crossbow Gun. Activate the teleporter here immediately, then start exploring Ancient Sands’ unique fish species and deeper zones.
For players who want to min-max their Abyss experience, here are some expert strategies.
Different zones excel at producing different resources. Create specialized farming loops:
Money Farming Loop (Ancient Sands):
Quest Completion Loop:
Smart players use teleportation to extend their effective oxygen range. Instead of saving enough oxygen for a round trip, you only need enough to reach your destination and complete your objectives. Teleport back when your oxygen is low, saving tanks and reducing stress.
Lost in a dangerous area with low oxygen? Teleport back to safety instead of risking death. The $150 cost is nothing compared to losing your fish catch or having to start over from a respawn point.
No, you can only teleport to designated areas that have teleporters, such as Forgotten Deep, Ancient Sands, and Spirit Roots. Additionally, you must first unlock each area and activate its teleporter before you can fast travel there.
No, teleportation costs approximately $150 per use. While this might seem expensive early game, it’s a small price to pay for the massive time and oxygen savings teleportation provides.
All four items (Door, Toilet Paper, Toilet Seat, Power Relay) are located within the Forgotten Deep safe zone. Use the detailed location guides in this article—the items are always in the same spots and won’t despawn or move.
Technically no, but practically yes. While you can reach Ancient Sands and beyond without the teleporter, your progression will be significantly slower. Players without the Sell Anywhere Gamepass especially need the teleporter for efficient gameplay.
Yes! Teleportation is instant regardless of your current oxygen level or depth. This makes it perfect for emergency escapes when you’re in dangerous situations.
As of February 2026, there are teleporters in Forgotten Deep (starting area), Ancient Sands, and Spirit Roots. More biomes and teleporters may be added in future updates as the game expands.
The game simply refers to him as “the Scientist.” He’s characterized by his location near the porta-potty teleporter and his quest to repair the teleportation device.
No, each player must complete the Scientist’s Quest individually. However, you can guide your friends to the item locations or explore together to make it more fun.
Unlocking teleportation in Abyss transforms the game from a tedious swimming simulator into an efficient underwater exploration experience. The Scientist’s Quest is simple, quick, and provides returns that compound throughout your entire playthrough.
Remember these key points:
The teleporter isn’t just a convenience feature—it’s a fundamental progression tool that separates casual players from efficient grinders. By unlocking it early and using it strategically, you’ll progress through Abyss faster than 90% of other players.
Now get out there, find those four items, activate that teleporter, and start exploring the depths of Abyss the smart way. The ocean awaits, and with your new fast travel capabilities, every corner of it is now within reach. Happy diving, and may your oxygen tanks stay full and your fish catches stay valuable!
