MAP04: The Nunnery is the fourth level of The Abyss. It was designed by J.M.P van Waveren (MrElusive) and uses the music track "Sentinel" (sentin.mid). The level incorporates architecture similar to mediaeval monasteries, complete with scriptoriums, a cloister, and monk cells.

This level requires all three keys to exit, and can be obtained in any order, although the blue key must be obtained if the player enters the blue key room.

"The nuns have left the cloister."
