The abyssal portal is a portal that leads deep into the Abyss, and was created by Xeric. While admiring the other world, Vespula flew through the portal and attacked Xeric's crew, who fled the scene. Vespula now controls the area and tends to her offspring while protecting the portal.

Abyssal portal regenerates its stats at a rate of 1 per 45 ticks, faster than the standard rate of 1 per 100 ticks.[2]

The portal must be destroyed in order to dispel Vespula and her offspring to proceed further into the caves. However, attacking the portal when Vespula is flying will cause her to enrage, attacking nearby players; she will stop flying once she reaches 23% of her Hitpoints, making it safer to attack the portal. If any of her lux grubs grow into vespine soldiers, Vespula and the abyssal portal will both regain hitpoints while they are alive. If under attack the abyssal portal will drain the prayer points of players standing in range by three points every two ticks; if prayer points are already depleted, then three damage will be applied instead. This is indicated with a faint green projectile, though players using the Redemption method should not be hit by this attack.

The portal is seven tiles away from the accessible area, though a weapon with an 8-tile range is highly recommended, as otherwise players will be hit by Vespula's melee if she is enraged. Notably, crossbows other than Armadyl or Zaryte and one-handed powered staves require longrange attack style to use reliably with the Redemption method. The portal is weaker to Magic despite its high Magic level, making it ideal to use Tumeken's shadow or a harmonised nightmare staff; otherwise, ranged is preferable.
