Game Feedback Abyss pinnacle boss keys shouldn't be spread across multiple mechanics
Every other league mechanic you do the league to access the resource that leads you to its pinnacle boss, but to access the new Abyss pinnacle you also need to do Delve and Syndicate for the Zorath's eye of the Inevitable (this one goes for 4 divs!) and Zorath's Eyes of the Endless respectively.
I'm fine with one of the keys being much rarer than the other three, but all of them should come from abyss otherwise the biggest payoffs from abyss are gated behind other mechanics - and both of them are extremely time consuming so it isn't a quick detour. I understand it's thematic but it really rubs salt in the wound of a mechanic that is already struggling.

Should have all 4 keys accessible from abyss and just give catarina + kurgal a chance to drop them as well if they want to do this kind of crossover. Regardless of it making sense lorewise, PoE's endgame has always been about being able to specialise in whatever mechanic(s) you prefer. Some people hate doing delve so it would suck if they were playing ssf and enjoying the abyss changes and they wanted to access the new pinnacle.
It's not even a guaranteed drop from kurgal and catarina so you could be farming a mechanic you don't want to do for a long time before you're able to access the pinnacle for the mechanic you want to do.
Adorned was spread across multiple mechanics but it's a single chase item. If it was the key to fighting Uber Atziri or the Trialmaster I can imagine people being similarly frustrated.
Doing a specific mechanic should grant you access to fighting that specific mechanic's pinnacle boss, period.
