Into the Mist/Guide: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 21:53, 18 November 2024

This article is a strategy guide for Into the Mist.

This guide is meant for single clears with as low as possible requirements. Not to be the most effective method. Information on equipment, mechanics and strategies are on this page.

Dungeon Mechanics

This section can be ignored if one focuses on Manual Eating when Health is low. If one is interested in how the Mechanics work, feel free to read them.

Afflicted Monsters

The first section of

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Into the Mist will have the player fight 20 Afflicted versions of random monsters from

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Level 165-677 including Dungeon boss monsters. The only exceptions to this are

Legaran Wurm,

Cursed Lich, and monsters from

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Dark Waters, all of which will not appear in this dungeon.

Afflicted monsters have their typical stats and special attacks, but have an additional +20% Damage Reduction and a chance to apply the Affliction debuff.

Area Effects from Slayer Areas are not present when fighting the Afflicted versions of

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Slayer monsters.

The Final Boss

After defeating 20 Afflicted monsters, the player must defeat three boss phases. Each phase uses a specific combat style and can only be damaged if the player is using the same style. This means that purchasing the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Dungeon Equipment Swapping upgrade from the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Shop is mandatory for completing this dungeon.

Before each phase of the boss, combat will be paused to allow the player a chance to read over the boss's special abilities and change their equipment set. This means, for example, that you do not need to own three separate copies of Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs, as you will have time to swap it between each equipment set. Once the player is ready, they start the boss phase by clicking a button.

Affliction

Afflicted Monsters and all three final boss phases can apply a special status effect called Affliction when they complete an attack. Each attack or special attack that the enemy uses, regardless of whether the attack hits or misses the player, has a 70% chance of applying a stack of Affliction, up to a maximum of 50 stacks. Special attacks that hit more than once will only apply a single stack.

For each stack of Affliction, the player's max

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Hitpoints are reduced by 1% up to 50 stacks (50% max HP). Critically, this will also impact the player's

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Auto Eat threshold, making each attack successively more dangerous.

Affliction stacks are reset after the monster is defeated, or if the player leaves combat or dies.

Manual Eating

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Into the Mist is the first dungeon in the game that typically requires manually eating food. While there are ways to avoid manual eating prior to first completion, completing the dungeon as soon as possible to get the Combat Passive Slot is a good idea, as it benefits everything the player is able to do. For all phases of the dungeon, the player can survive by manually eating food as long as the enemy's max hit does not exceed the player's max

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Hitpoints. It is important to note that this dungeon only needs to be completed once, so the strategy is simply not dying, rather than a speedy completion. The player must ensure that they have enough

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

HP to survive each attack before it comes in, and determine whether eating food is necessary. Eating food resets the player's attack interval, so they must be careful to prevent over-eating, as this will slow them down and make the dungeon more dangerous (Affliction). The following are four different methods to eat food:

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Auto Eat — Have Auto Eat heal you without interrupting attacks. No player input!
Eat after attacks — Wait for your attack to finish before eating. Usually after every attack.
Hold Eat — Click and hold the Food button to continuously eat food.
Spam Eat (PC players only) — Click Food button once, press the Tab key once, then Press Shift+Tab once to select the Food button. Now hold down the Space key to eat faster than simply holding down the button. Clicking anywhere else will undo this.

Rewards

Completing

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Into the Mist will permanently add

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Dark Waters monsters to the Master tier of

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Slayer Tasks. These monsters all have specific weaknesses and heavily punish the player for using the wrong combat style against them, making it far more difficult to use

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Auto Slayer to fulfill the 40 task requirement for unlocking

Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Master). If desired,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Perilous Peaks Master Tasks can be completed before ITM is finished, although this is not required. Completing

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Into the Mist also allows the player to use the Passive equipment slot.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Pablo is obtained by completing the dungeon 5 separate times.

Stats and Buffs

Minimum Requirements

The only true requirement to complete this dungeon is

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Level 90 and enough

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

HP and Damage Reduction to not be killed instantly.

The recommended levels to complete this dungeon are roughly:

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 85
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 85
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 85
950
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
HP
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 85
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 85
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 95.

It is possible for a player to complete the dungeon roughly 10-20 levels lower in any given skill, so if any of your stats are lagging behind, it's not the end of the world.

Consumables

Food:
- Whale or similar. You want a food item that heals for a large amount all at once, so that one click heals you for the vast majority of your HP.
Potions:
- Diamond Luck Potions for the entire dungeon.
Summoning Tablets:
- Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Dragon and
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Minotaur,
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Centaur, or
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Witch.
Prayers:
- These will be outlined on a case-by-case basis for each Boss phase below.
- Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Protect Item is not recommended so as to not plan for failure. There are many ways to ensure you do not die, and losing the power of one of your prayers can actually increase your chance of death.
Consumable Slot:
- Whetstone
- Wizard's Scroll - These can be skipped as they don't give any DPS benefit
- Smithing Lesser Relic - Recommended for the additional damage reduction if you are playing the Ancient Relics Game Mode
Diamond Luck Potions and
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Dragon Tablets are the most important buffs for this dungeon, the potion will drastically increase the amount of times you actually hit the enemy, and the tablets add a lot of extra damage with their own attacks, buff your damage and accuracy, and the burn effect of Dragons can help getting the bosses HP down quickly so you spend less time at high stacks of affliction.

Agility

While agility helps provide useful combat bonuses, it mostly helps lower the floor of the HP level you need to attempt ITM. Typically, switching agility just for ITM is not important - use whatever agility obstacles you would normally use for combat training.

Tier	Obstacle	Reason
1	Any
2	Any
3	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Pipe Climb	Only obstacle that provides a combat bonus.
4	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Coal Stones	No negative bonuses
5	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Cliff Balance	Be sure to remember the HP increase in your HP/DR damage calculations.
6	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Rocky Waters	Lake Swim is typically more useful if you are higher level, where the HP increase is proportionally less effective.
7	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Boulder Trap	No negative damage modifiers.
7	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Water Trap	No negative damage modifiers.
8	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Raft Building	Extra damage and HP.
9	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Ice Jump	Ice Jump is typically the only obstacle used on this tier, there's really no reason to stop using it now.
9	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Frozen Lake Crossing
10	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Lava Waterfall Dodge	Changing this obstacle from Lava Waterfall Dodge is expensive, and usually not really worth it.
10	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Ocean Rafting
P	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Pillar of Combat	Pillar of Combat is the only DPS-boosting pillar, but it is not necessary to use if you already have a different Pillar as its bonuses are not particularly helpful for this dungeon.

Fight Details

Afflicted Monsters

In general, waves 1-20 are best completed with your best Magic gear and Ancient Magicks or by actively switching to take advantage of Combat Triangle bonuses. Typically, these monsters are not very dangerous, swap to the correct combat style, and the monster falls over.

Notes for all Boss Phases

Once you reach the final boss and at the start of each phase, take the time to check the maximum hits of each attack the boss is capable of, then calculate how many stacks of affliction are required before an attack is able to kill you.

It is recommended to make a notecard with your effective auto-eat threshhold at various stages of Affliction build-up, typically every 10 stacks or so. This means write down what 40% of your HP is at 90%, 80%, 70%, 60%, 50% Maximum HP, then write down or pay attention to the maximum damage values of each of the bosses attacks so you can make more informed decisions than the general advice given below.

If in doubt at any time, try to eat immediately after one of your attacks finishes. Keep in mind however that eating interrupts your attack, and removes any chance of using special attacks on the next attack.

Mysterious Figure - Phase 1

Disclaimer: Gem slot is not required but recommended.

Item (most effective → least effective)
God Helmets	(G) Ancient Helmet	(G) Dragon Helmet
God Platebodies	(G) Ancient Platebody	(G) Dragon Platebody
God Platelegs	(G) Ancient Platelegs	(G) Dragon Platelegs
Ragnar God Boots	Terran God Boots	(G) Dragon Boots
Ragnar God Gloves	Terran God Gloves	Paladin Gloves
Infernal Cape	Maximum Skillcape
Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs	Elite Amulet of Defence	Elite Amulet of Glory
Ring of Blade Echoes	Fighter Ring	Gold Sapphire Ring
Agile Gem	Accuracy Gem	Evasion Gem
Infernal Claw	Darksteel Dagger	Sunset Rapier
Dragonfire Shield	Earth Layered Shield	(G) Dragon Shield
Melee Hinder Scroll

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Protect from Melee and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Battleheart or the highest level melee prayer you have available.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Protect from Melee is important here, as it sets the boss's chance to hit to 20%, reducing the chance of healing when using Reap and Return significantly. If possible, swapping

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Protect from Melee to

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Piety when the boss is using any other attack can help you squeeze in a little extra damage.

The choice to use 1h weapons here is important, as their attack interval is low enough to drop stacks of Mark of Death easily. Terran Godsword and Ragnar Godsword ( > ) are both very good and may be able to kill the boss faster depending on your specific stats, but they have a slow attack interval and will generally require you to pay more attention to when you eat.

Ultima Godsword is a fantastic weapon that circumvents the drawbacks of a 2h weapon by doing a ridiculous amount of damage. If owned, this weapon should be used, however, it is not necessary or recommended as the weapon can be quite difficult to obtain. Do not use any other equipment that provides a special attack ( Ring of Blade Echoes) as they will ruin your damage potential by lowering the chance of using one of the Ultima special attacks.

Phase 1: Abilities and Eating Methods

Mark of Death: Typically not dangerous, you want to complete an attack as soon as possible after this attack hits you. Failing to remove the stack of Mark of Death before the next attack hits you massively complicates things.
Cursed Edge: Dangerous at medium stacks of affliction, heal to full if this attack deals more than your auto-eat threshold. NOT dangerous if the attack deals at least 60% of your total HP because each hit will cause your auto-eat to set you to at least 80% HP.
Reap and Return: Dangerous at high stacks of affliction, if in doubt, hold eat to avoid death. NOT dangerous if the attack deals at least 60% of your total HP

This phase is by far the most difficult, it may be prudent to run if you feel you are in danger.

Phase 1: Idle

Manually eating while under the effect of Mark of Death can still kill you, do NOT manually eat if attempting to idle.

To fully idle Phase 1, you will need a weapon that has an interval faster than 2.6 seconds (all weapons above fit this criteria) and enough HP and DR to survive a 600 damage max hit when your HP is reduced by 50%, the below table lists some common HP checkpoints:

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Melee	Normal	with Wasteful Ring
1,000 Error creating thumbnail: File missing HP	67%	63%
1,040 Error creating thumbnail: File missing HP	66%	61%
1,070 Error creating thumbnail: File missing HP	65%	60%
1,100 Error creating thumbnail: File missing HP	64%	59%

Mysterious Figure - Phase 2

Disclaimer: Gem slot is not required but recommended.

Item (most effective → least effective)
Aeris God Helmet	Terran God Helmet	Slayer Cowl (Elite)
Aeris God Platebody	(U) Ancient D-hide Body	(U) Black D-hide Body
Aeris God Platelegs	(U) Ancient D-hide Chaps	(U) Black D-hide Chaps
Aeris God Boots	Terran God Boots	(G) Dragon Boots
Aeris God Gloves	(U) Ancient D-hide Vambraces	(U) Black D-hide Vambraces
Cape of Prat	Infernal Cape	Maximum Skillcape
Deadeye Amulet	Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs	Elite Amulet of Ranged
Deadeye Ring	Ring of Barrage	Silver Emerald Ring
Agile Gem	Accuracy Gem	Evasion Gem
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Ancient Crossbow	Slayer's Crossbow	Dragon Crossbow
Scaled Shield	(U) Ancient D-hide Shield	(U) Black D-hide Shield
Jadestone Bolts	Diamond Bolts	Emerald Bolts
Ranged Hinder Scroll

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Battleheart and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Rigour or the highest level Ranged prayers you have available.

2h weapons like the Stormsnap are generally fine, but they will require you to pay more attention to when you eat as they have less Damage Reduction due to not being able to wear a shield, and being slow and unwieldy for dropping stacks of Mark of Death.

Phase 2: Abilities and Eating Methods

Mark of Death: Typically not dangerous, you want to complete an attack as soon as possible after this attack hits you. Failing to remove the stack of Mark of Death before the next attack hits you massively complicates things.
Concealed Danger: Typically not dangerous unless you fail to remove mark of death.
Shadowstep: Does no damage, however, if the boss tries to use it twice in a row she will use a Normal Attack instead, her Normal Attack Max hit is quite high, and becomes much more dangerous if you have failed to remove Mark of Death

This phase is by far the easiest, so it is not critically important to optimize it perfectly, nearly any setup should have no real problem clearing this phase. Eating during this phase should be almost entirely unnecessary.

NOTE: At exceptionally high stacks of affliction, and while under the effect of Mark of Death, it is possible for the boss's Normal Attack to deal more damage than your total HP. This is only possible if you manually eat and fail to remove the Mark of Death before the attack connects. If this scenario occurs, you must run to guarantee your survival.

Phase 2: Idle

Manually eating while under the effect of Mark of Death can still kill you, do NOT manually eat if attempting to idle.

To fully idle Phase 2, you will need a weapon that has an interval faster than 3.9 seconds (all ranged weapons fit this criteria by default) and enough HP and DR to survive a 772 damage max hit when your HP is reduced by 50%, the below table lists some common HP checkpoints:

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Ranged	Normal	with Wasteful Ring
1,000 Error creating thumbnail: File missing HP	75%	71%
1,040 Error creating thumbnail: File missing HP	74%	70%
1,070 Error creating thumbnail: File missing HP	73%	69%
1,100 Error creating thumbnail: File missing HP	72%	68%

Ahrenia - Phase 3

Disclaimer: Gem slot is not required but recommended.

Item (most effective → least effective)
Glacia God Helmet	Ancient Wizard Hat	Expert Wizard Hat
Glacia God Platebody	Ancient Wizard Robes	Expert Wizard Robes
Glacia God Platelegs	Ancient Wizard Bottoms	Expert Wizard Bottoms
Glacia God Boots	Ancient Wizard Boots	Expert Wizard Boots
Glacia God Gloves	Terran God Gloves	(U) Ancient D-hide Vambraces
Skull Cape	Infernal Cape	Maximum Skillcape
Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs	Elite Amulet of Magic	Elite Amulet of Defence
Warlock Ring	Silver Magic Band	Ring of Spirit Power
Agile Gem	Evasion Gem	Accuracy Gem
Elemental Imbued Wand	Magic Wand (Powerful)	Cloudburst Staff
Malevolent Ward Shield	Magicburn Shield	Scaled Shield
Magic Hinder Scroll

With Imbued Wands:

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Incinerate,
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Gust, or
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Slicing Winds.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Protect from Magic and
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Stone Skin

With Cloudburst Staff:

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Water Surge, and
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Fury II.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Battleheart and
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Augury or the highest level Magic prayers you have available.

As this phase is relatively weak, Cloudburst Staff under most circumstances should deal enough damage to kill Ahrenia before she becomes a real threat, however, as the phase is relatively simple, it is recommended to use the Ancient Magicks as they will allow you to use Damage Reduction Potions instead of Diamond Luck as your hits are already guaranteed at 20k+ Accuracy Rating.

Phase 3: Abilities and Eating Methods

Shadow Burst: Can be dangerous at low stacks of Affliction. Gives the player -1% Accuracy rating when it hits, up to a maximum of 40%. To guarantee 20k+ Accuracy at maximum stacks of this effect, the player must have 33,333 Accuracy Rating.
Into the Mist: Does no damage. Gives the enemy +10% Damage Reduction each time they are hit, so if using Ancient Magicks, it may be prudent to swap to
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ignite or
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Quake to get more effective damage for the duration.
Fallen Light: Not dangerous.

Phase 3: Idle

To fully idle Phase 3, you will only need enough HP and DR to survive an 800 damage max hit when your HP is reduced by 50%, the below table lists some common HP checkpoints:

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Magic	Normal	with Wasteful Ring
1,000 Error creating thumbnail: File missing HP	75%	72%
1,040 Error creating thumbnail: File missing HP	74%	71%
1,070 Error creating thumbnail: File missing HP	74%	70%
1,100 Error creating thumbnail: File missing HP	73%	70%

-There are a number of ways Into the Mist can be completed. In general, waves 1-20 are best completed with your best magic gear and ancient magicks or actively switching to take advantage of combat triangle bonuses. It's highly recommended that once you reach the final boss, you take the time to calculate the DR values and maximum hits per attack of each boss. Eating strategies can generally solve the final boss and aid you in learning when to deal damage and when to survive, but it's useful to know what eating pattern to follow with your exact gear and levels. For all phases of the dungeon, as long as you do not get instantly killed by one attack (one shot), you can most likely complete the dungeon with the appropriate weapon.

-=Eating Patterns=
+This section can be ignored if one focuses on Manual Eating when Health is low.
-There are 3 different eating patterns used in this guide. It's important to note that this dungeon only needs to be completed once, so it is not about completing it as fast as possible, but rather not dying so you can complete it at least once. It is far more important to ensure you have enough HP to survive an attack than not resetting your attack timer through manual eating.
+If one is interested in how the Mechanics work, feel free to read them.
-# Autoeat - let autoeat heal you and do not interrupt your attack.
-# Eat if not full HP - eat if you are not full HP. Then let autoeat heal you if the attack is a multihit attack.
+===Afflicted Monsters===
-# Hold Eat - if you click on your food to eat manually, you will select your equipped food. There will be a bold grey box around your food. If you hold the Enter key on your keyboard, it will automatically eat when you are damaged. Do not let go until the attack is completed.

This means write down what 40% of your HP is at 90%, 80%, 70%, 60%, 50% Maximum HP, then write down or pay attention to the maximum damage values of each of the bosses attacks so you can make more informed decisions than the general advice given below.
+If in doubt at any time, try to eat immediately after one of your attacks finishes. Keep in mind however that eating interrupts your attack, and removes any chance of using special attacks on the next attack.
-=Strategy 1: Average Clear=
-This strategy is generally the most used method to complete Into the Mist. You will use all God Dungeon gear and complete the dungeon by doing the most amount of damage each phase.
 ==Mysterious Figure - Phase 1==
-Equip a Ragnar Godsword, full Ragnar armor, Infernal Cape, Fury of the Elemental Zodiac, and Fighter Ring. Use Diamond Luck Potions and turn on Protect from Melee and Piety. You will need to learn eating patterns to ensure you do not die to attacks but can still put out enough dps to finish the phase. Eating patterns to follow generally are for Mark of Death, autoeat; for Cursed Edge, eat if not full HP; for Reap and Return, hold eat.

+{{PrayerIcon|Protect from Melee}} and {{PrayerIcon|Battleheart}} or the highest level melee prayer you have available. {{PrayerIcon|Protect from Melee||Protect}} is important here, as it sets the boss's chance to hit to 20%, reducing the chance of healing when using '''Reap and Return''' significantly. If possible, swapping {{PrayerIcon|Protect from Melee||Protect}} to {{PrayerIcon|Piety}} when the boss is using any other attack can help you squeeze in a little extra damage.
+The choice to use 1h weapons here is important, as their attack interval is low enough to drop stacks of Mark of Death easily. {{ItemIcon|Terran Godsword}} and {{ItemIcon|Ragnar Godsword}} ({{ItemIcon|Terran Godsword|notext=true}} > {{ItemIcon|Ragnar Godsword|notext=true}}) are both very good and may be able to kill the boss faster depending on your specific stats, but they have a slow attack interval and will generally require you to pay more attention to when you eat.
+{{ItemIcon|Ultima Godsword}} is a fantastic weapon that circumvents the drawbacks of a 2h weapon by doing a ridiculous amount of damage. If owned, this weapon should be used, however, it is not necessary or recommended as the weapon can be quite difficult to obtain. Do not use any other equipment that provides a special attack ({{ItemIcon|Ring of Blade Echoes}}) as they will ruin your damage potential by lowering the chance of using one of the Ultima special attacks.
+===Phase 1: Abilities and Eating Methods===
+* '''Mark of Death''': Typically not dangerous, you want to complete an attack as soon as possible after this attack hits you. Failing to remove the stack of Mark of Death before the next attack hits you massively complicates things.
+* '''Cursed Edge''': Dangerous at medium stacks of affliction, heal to full if this attack deals more than your auto-eat threshold. NOT dangerous if the attack deals at least 60% of your total HP because each hit will cause your auto-eat to set you to at least 80% HP.
+* '''Reap and Return''': Dangerous at high stacks of affliction, if in doubt, hold eat to avoid death. NOT dangerous if the attack deals at least 60% of your total HP
+This phase is by far the most difficult, it may be prudent to run if you feel you are in danger.
+===Phase 1: Idle===
+<div class="warningbox">Manually eating while under the effect of Mark of Death can still kill you, do '''NOT''' manually eat if attempting to idle.</div>
+To fully idle Phase 1, you will need a weapon that has an interval faster than 2.6 seconds (all weapons above fit this criteria) and enough HP and DR to survive a 600 damage max hit when your HP is reduced by 50%, the below table lists some common HP checkpoints:

+h weapons like the {{ItemIcon|Stormsnap}} are generally fine, but they will require you to pay more attention to when you eat as they have less Damage Reduction due to not being able to wear a shield, and being slow and unwieldy for dropping stacks of Mark of Death.
+===Phase 2: Abilities and Eating Methods===
+* '''Mark of Death''': Typically not dangerous, you want to complete an attack as soon as possible after this attack hits you. Failing to remove the stack of Mark of Death before the next attack hits you massively complicates things.
+* '''Concealed Danger''': Typically not dangerous unless you fail to remove mark of death.
+* '''Shadowstep''': Does no damage, however, if the boss tries to use it twice in a row she will use a Normal Attack instead, her Normal Attack Max hit is quite high, and becomes much more dangerous if you have failed to remove Mark of Death
+This phase is by far the easiest, so it is not critically important to optimize it perfectly, nearly any setup should have no real problem clearing this phase. Eating during this phase should be almost entirely unnecessary.
+NOTE: At '''exceptionally high''' stacks of affliction, and while under the effect of Mark of Death, it is possible for the boss's Normal Attack to deal more damage than your total HP. ''This is only possible if you manually eat and fail to remove the Mark of Death before the attack connects''. If this scenario occurs, you must run to guarantee your survival.
+===Phase 2: Idle===
+<div class="warningbox">Manually eating while under the effect of Mark of Death can still kill you, do '''NOT''' manually eat if attempting to idle.</div>
+To fully idle Phase 2, you will need a weapon that has an interval faster than 3.9 seconds (all ranged weapons fit this criteria by default) and enough HP and DR to survive a 772 damage max hit when your HP is reduced by 50%, the below table lists some common HP checkpoints:

+As this phase is relatively weak, {{ItemIcon|Cloudburst Staff}} under most circumstances should deal enough damage to kill Ahrenia before she becomes a real threat, however, as the phase is relatively simple, it is recommended to use the Ancient Magicks as they will allow you to use {{Icon|Damage Reduction Potion|Damage Reduction Potions}} instead of {{ItemIcon|Diamond Luck Potion IV|Diamond Luck}} as your hits are already guaranteed at 20k+ Accuracy Rating.

+* '''Into the Mist''': Does no damage. Gives the enemy +10% Damage Reduction each time they are hit, so if using Ancient Magicks, it may be prudent to swap to {{Icon|type=spell|Ignite}} or {{Icon|type=spell|Quake}} to get more effective damage for the duration.
+* '''Fallen Light''': Not dangerous.

-=Strategy 2: Minimal Thinking and Effort=
+<br> <br>
-This strategy involves maximum afking. If you're worried about the final boss, you can follow this strategy.
+{{CombatNav|Dungeon}}
-==Mysterious Figure - Phase 1==
+{{Menu}}
-Phase 1 will require the most effort. This phase will be completed with normal strategies. Equip a Ragnar Godsword, full Ragnar armor, Infernal Cape, Fury of the Elemental Zodiac, and ring of choice - Gold Sapphire Ring can be used here for minimal extra damage or Fighter Ring for better dps. Use Diamond Luck Potions and turn on Protect from Melee and Piety. You will need to learn eating patterns to ensure you do not die to attacks but can still put out enough dps to finish the phase. Eating patterns to follow generally are for Mark of Death, autoeat; for Cursed Edge, eat if not full HP; for Reap and Return, hold eat.
-==Mysterious Figure - Phase 2==
-Phase 2 requires enough HP and DR to not die at maximum affliction stacks and Mark of Death. The highest damaging hit is Concealed Danger at 450. At above around 90 HP, you will need approximately 2 DR or more to achieve this. You will be damaging this phase to 1 HP through recoil damage and finishing it off with a final attack. Ensure Diamond Luck Potions are active, equip any 1-handed ranged weapon, equip one of or both a Gold Sapphire Ring and Recoil Shield, turn on Rigour and Eagle Eye for accuracy - you do not want to use Protect from Ranged as you want to be hit to reflect damage, and start the fight. As long as you do not die to one hit, you can hold eat to survive until the end of the phase. Since Phase 2 does not heal, it will be damaged until 1 HP as recoil damage does not kill a monster. Eventually, you will hit with your ranged weapon of choice and finish Phase 2.
-==Ahrenia==
-Ahrenia requires enough HP and DR to not die. The highest damage attack is Shadow Burst at 800. At above around 90 HP, you will need approximately 45 DR or more to achieve this. Similar to Phase 2, you will ensure Diamond Luck Potions are active, use any surge spell and the curse Decay, turn on Augury and Mystic Might for extra accuracy - Protect from Magic is not used as you want to be hit to proc Decay, and start the fight. As long as you do not die to one hit, hold eat. Since Ahrenia heals when she uses the move Into the Mist, this will take some time and rng to complete.
