Standard Guide
Introduction
This is a 
Barrier dungeon introduced with the 
Atlas of Discovery Expansion, there is a general guide to this dungeon and a more in-depth look into Barrier combat in general in this guide. This page will go deeper into combat options, including when 
Throne of the Herald Expansion is owned and already completed.

Nagaia hit very hard in this dungeon. A lot of damage reduction is required in order to idle this dungeon without dying. Alternatively, the player can return after having progressed through the Throne of the Herald expansion. Having more hitpoints or other damage reducing and damage inflicting bonusses can greatly speed up the clear times of this dungeon. Set 1 clears the dungeon roughly 27 times per hour. Set 2 clears it roughly 8.5 times per hour. (You can swap the weapon & summons in Set 2).
The Preferred Shield is 
Earth Layered Shield, however 
Devouring Barrier Shield can be used, once the upgrade item has been obtained from this dungeon.
Barrier God Shard every time it is cleared. These can be used to upgrade (B) god armours into their respective (C) armours. These can then be used to very effectively clear Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Crystal Depths for 
Pure Crystal Binding Dust if the player hasn't already done this.
Equipment
Below are 2 sets, unlike the previous dungeons, you can't mix and match this dungeon. Set 1 is for post-TotH clears. Set 2 is for clears just before or afterError creating thumbnail: File missing
Impending Darkness Event.
- Set 1 requires Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 120.
- Set 2 requires a minimum of Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 99. Calculated at all combat skills level 99 in the Combat Simulator.
Set 2 can be all non-B upgraded Terran God Armour with 
Tidal Edge and it will only lower the Kills Per Hour by about 1.5 (from 4.2 to 2.8).
Ultima Godsword/
Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs can be used to increase the Kills per Hour to roughly 6.6.

Ancient Relics Guide
There are two different ways of approaching this Dungeon:
- Just get the Dungeon first clear over with as soon as possible to get your Skill Cap Increases and gain access to Error creating thumbnail: File missingImpending Darkness Event. This would include not grinding out
Underwater Ruins for it's weapons. - The second would be to grind (B) God armor pieces and one or more weapons from Underwater Ruins.
General Guidance
Contrary to all previous Dungeons, some minorError creating thumbnail: File missing
Astrology investment is highly recommended. Specifically obtaining the 8% Accuracy stars in the Constellations Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Iridan, Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Terra, Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Vale, Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Syllia and Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Arachi. The Master Relic will not be required, nor will any other Stars.
Due to the regen mechanics of both the Barrier and Health of the boss, it would be advised to Manual Eat as little as possible, for this reason as much Damage Reduction as possible will be packed on for this Dungeons Boss Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Nagaia. Additionally, because of the high regen capabilities of the Monsters
Barrier it is highly recommended to follow the Combat Triangle, this means a Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ranged setup for waves 1 and 2, Melee for waves 3 and 4, Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Magic setup for waves 5 and 6, Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ranged for waves 7 and 8, and finally Melee for the 9th and final wave. Active switching styles is highly recommended as the Dungeon will go much faster this way. A setup for each combat style is included in this guide. While it is entirely possible to do this Dungeon completely Idle at this point, however it depends greatly on which Relics have been obtained.
Following the instructions and suggested setups from this guide will not require Manual Eating at all. However it will require switching between Combat Styles to the suggested Style listed in the above paragraph.
Eradicating Gloves (m) are the Best in Slot gloves for the rest of the game, they however have a very low drop chance. It most likely isn't worth farming for these gloves until you have both a few (B) Terran God Armour set pieces and Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Summoning Relic #4.
Option 1: Rush First Clear
These setups notably do not require:
- Any Weapons from Underwater Ruins
- Any (B) God Armors
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 99 (for
Imbued Dragonite Bar) - Over Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 50, Obstacle 6 is good enough.
See the specific sections for advice per style.
Agility
This guide assumes thatError creating thumbnail: File missing
Agility has not been progressed beyond obstacle 6, as it is very slow to level before beating Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Impending Darkness Event.
| Slot | Obstacle | Bonuses |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Cargo Net | +3% Global GP (except Item Sales) +2% Fishing Mastery XP |
| 2 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Rope Jump | +3% Smithing Mastery XP |
| 3 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Pipe Climb | +5% Melee Evasion +5% Melee Max Hit |
| 4 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Coal Stones | -4% Skill XP for all Skills +10% Food Healing Value +20% GP gained from Thieving +3% Chance to Preserve Resources in Skills |
| 5 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Cliff Balance | +20 Maximum Hitpoints +5% Ranged Accuracy Rating +2 Prayer Point Cost for Prayers +5% Magic Accuracy Rating +5% Melee Accuracy Rating |
| 6 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Lake Swim | +1% Damage Reduction +5% Damage To All Monsters +3% Chance To Preserve Prayer Points |
Melee
Used for waves: 3,4,9
This is the setup that will be used for the boss, attempting any other style will result in Death at this stage.
It will require at least 70% Damage Reduction and 1010Error creating thumbnail: File missing
HP or 71% if you're want to be 100% safe. (70% has roughly 0.004 Deaths per hour, 71% eliminates the Death Chance entirely) You can replace Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs and 
Tormented Ring with any combination of Amulet and Ring of choice as long as 2/3% Damage Reduction is gained from those 2 Item Slots combined.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Defence Relic #5 provides a bite more wiggle room replacing the need for Damage Reduction from either Amulet or Ring, if this Relic is obtained it 
Adaptive Summoning Amulet and Tormented Ring would be the best options.
Gear
Sunset Rapier or 
Ancient Claw can be used instead of 
Infernal Claw for slightly lower clear speed.

Option 2: Take it slow and grind
This is a list of the most effective things to do (assuming sufficient skill cap) to make Option 1 faster and safer.
Key upgrades over Option 1:
- Unlock Underwater Ruins for better weapons. Requires Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 90,Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 90,Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 81.
- Engulfing Vortex Longbow, from Error creating thumbnail: File missingMermaid Archer.
- This will be the best Ranged weapon all the way until Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 120...
- ... with the possible exception of
Divine Crossbow and 
Divine Javelin, which require Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 111,Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 112, andError creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 119 for both.
- This will be the best Ranged weapon all the way until
Water Pulse Staff is also a very good weapon which will last until Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 120- It is slightly worse than Error creating thumbnail: File missingRunecrafting alternatives but does not require Runecrafting to be leveled above around Level 85.
- However, Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 112 may be desired to unlock Archaic spells.
- It is slightly worse than
- These enemies also drop
Devouring Barrier Gem. - If a Magic Set is chosen,
