The Underdepths (Proving Ground)

The Proving Grounds were introduced on Tuesday May 9, 2017 ( LU103 ) as "cooperative competition zones" (Battle upon the High Seas and Battle for Felwithe). The Update on Thursday June 8, 2017 introduced The Nexus Proving Ground (A ranked PVE match) and the first Unranked Match: The Underdepths.

The Underdepths is a solo zone where you take control of a powerful avatar within the depths of Skyshrine. Unlike the ranked matches, you may not always receive a reward for every boss defeated, as there are multiple bosses in some checkpoints. You do however still receive the one reward per checkpoint cleared, with a larger reward for defeating the final checkpoint, and a bonus reward for beating the goal time of 15 minutes. Unranked matches are currently repeatable every 90 minutes and they do not post to the scoreboard.

You can access the unranked matches from the zone object behind the Proving Grounds scoreboard near loc 21, 1, -62.69

There are two avatars you can control, by clicking the appropriate glowing rune in the first room: The Skyshrine Guardian, or The Skyshrine Infiltrator.

Each avatar begins with six abilities unlocked. As you defeat bosses, you are granted six more.
