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

Agile Gem	Accuracy Gem	Evasion Gem
Infernal Claw	Darksteel Dagger	Sunset Rapier
Dragonfire Shield	Earth Layered Shield	(G) Dragon Shield

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%

+{{UserContentVersion|1.3.1}}
+==Dungeon Mechanics==
-There are a number of ways {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}} can be completed. In general, waves 1-20 are best completed with your best [[Magic#Magic_Equipment_Stats|Magic gear]] and [[Magic#Ancient_Magicks|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 phase. Eating strategies can generally solve the final bosses and aid you in learning when to deal damage and when to survive, but it's useful to know what attack might kill you 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.
+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.
-It should be noted that completing ITM will permanently add [[Dark Waters]] monsters to the [[Slayer#Master|Master]] tier of {{Skill|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 {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Slayer}} to fulfill the 50 task requirement for unlocking {{ItemIcon|Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Master)}}. If desired, [[Perilous Peaks]] dragons may be killed with a high damage, pre-t90 weapon such as the [[Cloudburst Staff]], [[Slayer's Crossbow]], or [[Infernal Claw]] instead.
+===Afflicted Monsters===
+<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
+The first section of {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}} will have the player fight 20 Afflicted versions of random monsters from {{Icon|Combat|nolink=true|Level 165-677}} including Dungeon boss monsters. The only exceptions to this are {{MonsterIcon|Legaran Wurm}}, {{MonsterIcon|Cursed Lich}}, and monsters from {{ZoneIcon|Dark Waters}}, all of which will not appear in this dungeon.
-==Eating Patterns==
+Afflicted monsters have their typical stats and special attacks, but have an additional +20% [[Damage Reduction]] and a chance to apply the {{EffectIcon|Affliction}} debuff.
-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 the strategy is not about completing the dungeon 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 [[Hitpoints|HP]] to survive an attack than not resetting your attack timer through manual eating.
-# [[Auto Eat|Autoeat]] — let autoeat heal you and do not interrupt your attack.
-# Eat if not full {{Skill|Hitpoints|HP}} — eat to full HP if you are not full HP. Then let autoeat heal you.
-# Hold Enter to Eat/Spam Eat — if you click on your food to eat manually, you will target your equipped food. You can see a bold grey box around your food to indicate it's selected. If you hold the Enter key on your keyboard, it will automatically try to eat each tick, and automatically eat when damaged. Do not let go until the attack is completed. This is not required to complete the dungeon; it just makes it easier. Spam clicking your food can work as well.
-===Additional Important Notes===
+Area Effects from [[Slayer Areas]] are not present when fighting the Afflicted versions of {{Skill|Slayer}} monsters.
-Affliction reduces your maximum hitpoints while Mark of Death reduces your DR by 50%. This makes calculating autoeat and DR values difficult, and eating patterns are calculated at maximum affliction stacks and reduced DR (the worse case scenario). There may be a chance of death while affliction is still stacking and depend on being affected by Mark of Death or not. If you want to take a safer approach, you can spam eat and deal minimal damage until you are affected by maximum affliction stacks (half maximum hitpoints) so that damage numbers do not vary.
+</div>
+===The Final Boss===
+<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
+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 {{UpgradeIcon|Dungeon Equipment Swapping}} upgrade from the {{Icon|Shop}} is mandatory for completing this dungeon.
-You may complete the dungeon with your food of choice; however, note that there may still be a chance of death due to your healing rate and the high damage per hit value of the boss. It is recommended to use high healing value food such as {{ItemIcon|Cave Fish}}, {{ItemIcon|Manta Ray}}, or {{ItemIcon|Whale}}, as this will restore HP quickly when you manually eat, reducing the chance of the boss hitting fast and frequently enough with its multihit attacks to kill you.
+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 {{ItemIcon|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.
+</div>
+===Affliction===
+<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
+Afflicted Monsters and all three final boss phases can apply a special status effect called {{EffectIcon|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.
-==Minimum Recommended Levels==
+For each stack of Affliction, the player's max {{Skill|Hitpoints}} are reduced by 1% up to 50 stacks (50% max HP). Critically, this will also impact the player's {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat}} threshold, making each attack successively more dangerous.
-Using various of the explained methods in this guide, this dungeon was completed with {{SkillReq|Attack|85}}, {{SkillReq|Strength|85}}, {{SkillReq|Defence|85}}, {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|93}}, {{SkillReq|Prayer|88}}, {{SkillReq|Ranged|1}}, {{SkillReq|Magic|85}}. No range levels are required using the recoil method for phase 2; however, at least {{SkillReq|Ranged|80}} is recommended to use {{ItemIcon|Stormsnap}} if using a more traditional approach. {{Icon|Diamond Luck Potion|Diamond Luck Potions}} were used at these levels for each phase, as well as generally BIS gear.
-==Miscellaneous==
+Affliction stacks are reset after the monster is defeated, or if the player leaves combat or dies.
-The Shop Upgrade {{UpgradeIcon|Dungeon Equipment Swapping}} is mandatory to complete this dungeon. The dungeon will pause when you have reached each Boss Phase, but not after every floor. The pause at each Phase only stops combat, allowing you to change your equipped gear, set, food, and potions. You are still considered to be inside the dungeon, and switching to any other action will cause you to leave and lose all progress.
+</div>
+===Manual Eating===
+<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
+{{ZoneIcon|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.
-===Youtube Videos===
+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 {{Skill|Hitpoints}}.
-See this playlist for videos of clearing the dungeon.

-===New Mysterious Figure - Phase 2 Warning===
+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 {{Skill|Hitpoints|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:
-'''WARNING:''' Phase 2 can one-shot you. The chances of this are fairly low; however, it's still possible. The requirements are for it to [[Shadowstep]] 2 turns in a row, which will cause it to NORMAL ATTACK you. If your HP is lowered from affliction, and you are affected by [[Mark of Death]], it's possible to die at full HP. If you notice it start to NORMAL ATTACK under these circumstances, you will need to run to survive.
-===Diamond Luck Potions Deserve Their Own Section===
+# '''{{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat}}''' — Have Auto Eat heal you without interrupting attacks. No player input!
-[[Diamond Luck Potion]]s are most likely the single best improvement and upgrade for this dungeon, as long as you have obtained all recommended stats and gear. Any tier can be used, as the only difference is the number of charges per potion. This is mostly because Phase 1 is the most difficult part of the dungeon due to DPS/accuracy issues. From testing, {{Icon|Diamond Luck Potion|Diamond Luck Potions}} make it feel like any combination of God Gear can complete {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}}.
+# '''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===
+<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
+Completing {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}} will permanently add {{ZoneIcon|Dark Waters}} monsters to the [[Slayer#Master|Master]] tier of {{Skill|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 {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Slayer}} to fulfill the 40 task requirement for unlocking {{ItemIcon|Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Master)}}. If desired, {{ZoneIcon|Perilous Peaks}} Master Tasks can be completed before ITM is finished, although this is not required.
+Completing {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}} also allows the player to use the [[Combat Passive Slot|Passive equipment slot]]. {{PetIcon|Pablo}} is obtained by completing the dungeon 5 separate times.

+==Stats and Buffs==
+===Minimum Requirements===
+The only true requirement to complete this dungeon is {{SkillReq|Slayer|90}} and enough {{Skill|Hitpoints|HP}} and [[Damage Reduction]] to not be killed instantly.
+The '''recommended''' levels to complete this dungeon are roughly:
+* {{SkillReq|Attack|85}}
+* {{SkillReq|Strength|85}}
+* {{SkillReq|Defence|85}}
+* {{Skill|Hitpoints|nolink=true|HP|qty=950}}
+* {{SkillReq|Ranged|85}}
+* {{SkillReq|Magic|85}}
+* {{SkillReq|Prayer|95}}.

+*'''{{Icon|Diamond Luck Potion|Diamond Luck Potions}} and {{ItemIcon|Dragon|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 stats and gear you need to attempt ITM. If any of the recommended obstacles mess with your HP/DR thresholds, it's okay to not use them.
+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.

You can opt to use {{PrayerIcon|Protect Item}} instead of {{PrayerIcon|Piety}} to prevent item loss if you die.

-===Mysterious Figure - Phase 2===
+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.

-Follow the recommended equipment list for gear to use; you can mix and match pieces depending on what you have, though ensure you have enough DR to not get one-shot. Use {{Icon|Diamond Luck Potion|Diamond Luck Potions}} and turn on {{PrayerIcon|Protect from Ranged}} and {{PrayerIcon|Rigour}}. No prayers are required for this phase; however, {{PrayerIcon|Rigour}} is useful here for increased ranged damage and accuracy, and {{PrayerIcon|Protect from Ranged}} can be substituted for {{PrayerIcon|Eagle Eye}} for additional ranged accuracy or {{PrayerIcon|Protect Item}} to prevent item loss in case you die.
-'''WARNING:''' Phase 2 can one-shot you. The chances of this are fairly low; however, it's still possible. The requirements are for it to [[Shadowstep]] 2 turns in a row, which will cause it to normal attack you. If your HP is lowered from affliction and you are affected by [[Mark of Death]], it's possible to die at full HP. If you notice it start to NORMAL ATTACK under these circumstances, you will need to run to survive.
+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.

-Follow the recommended equipment list for gear to use; you can mix and match pieces depending on what you have, though ensure you have enough DR to not get one-shot. When using a Cloudburst Staff use the water element. Water Surge is recommended. For imbued wands and expert wizard armor, the element does not matter, but you can match the element to the spell you're using.
-There are a few strategies that can be used for {{MonsterIcon|Ahrenia}}. Regardless of strategy, it is recommended to use {{Icon|type=aurora|Surge II}}.
-====20k Accuracy Ancient Magicks====
+{{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.
-Equip {{ItemIcon|Air Imbued Wand}}, full {{ItemIcon|Glacia God Platebody|Glacia armor}}, {{ItemIcon|Skull Cape}}, {{ItemIcon|Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs}}, {{ItemIcon|Earth Layered Shield}}, and {{ItemIcon|Warlock Ring}}. Use {{ItemIcon|Magic Assistance Potion IV}}, turn on {{PrayerIcon|Augury}} and {{PrayerIcon|Mystic Might}}, and use {{Icon|type=spell|Incinerate}}. Ensure you are over 33.4k accuracy before the fight begins to stay above the 20k threshold required to never miss with [[Incinerate]] after {{MonsterIcon|Ahrenia}} reduces your magic accuracy. If you are unable to reach 33.4k accuracy, {{Icon|Diamond Luck Potion|Diamond Luck Potions}} can be used to improve hit rate.
-The boss is unable to be stunned, and therefore {{Icon|type=spell|Gust}} is not recommended.
+===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
-====Diamond Luck is Key====
+This phase is by far the most difficult, it may be prudent to run if you feel you are in danger.
-Equip all of your best Magic gear - this can be the same as the above gear. Use {{Icon|Diamond Luck Potion|Diamond Luck Potions}}, turn on {{PrayerIcon|Augury}} and {{PrayerIcon|Mystic Might}}, and use any [[Magic#Ancient_Magicks|Ancient Magicks]] spell - slower hitting spells such as {{Icon|type=spell|Quake}}, {{Icon|type=spell|Gust}}, or {{Icon|type=spell|Ignite}} are recommended due to the interaction with the {{SpecialAttack|Into the Mist (attack)|Into the Mist}} increased DR. Do not worry about the reduced magical accuracy debuff, as {{Icon|Diamond Luck Potion|Diamond Luck Potions}} will let you continue to put out damage.
-====Combined Spell Strategy====
+===Phase 1: Idle===
-Optionally, you can optimize damage if you are unable to achieve the 33.4k accuracy rating needed to maintain the [[Magic#Ancient Magicks|Ancient Magicks]] 20k threshold by starting the fight with a 20k accuracy [[Magic#Ancient_Magicks|Ancient Magicks]] spell ({{Icon|type=spell|Slicing Winds}}, {{Icon|type=spell|Gust}}, or {{Icon|type=spell|Incinerate}}) and {{ItemIcon|Magic Assistance Potion IV}}. Once your magic accuracy is under 20k, switch to either {{Icon|type=spell|Gust}} or {{Icon|type=spell|Quake}}, and {{Icon|Diamond Luck Potion|Diamond Luck Potions}}.
+<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>
-You will need to learn eating patterns to ensure you do not die from attacks but can still put out enough DPS to finish the phase.
+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.

Refer to the [[Into_the_Mist/Guide#Mysterious_Figure_-_Phase_1|above Phase 1]] gear table for recommendations. Use {{Icon|Diamond Luck Potion|Diamond Luck Potions}} and turn on {{PrayerIcon|Protect from Melee}} and {{PrayerIcon|Piety}}.
-You will need to learn eating patterns to ensure you do not die from attacks but can still put out enough DPS to finish the phase.
+===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>

-Phase 2 requires enough {{Skill|Hitpoints|HP}} and [[Damage Reduction|DR]] to not die at maximum affliction stacks and [[Mark of Death]]. The highest damaging hit is [[Concealed Danger]] at 450 damage. At above around {{Skill|Hitpoints|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 {{Icon|Diamond Luck Potion|Diamond Luck Potions}} are active, equip any 1-handed ranged weapon (even {{ItemIcon|Bronze Throwing Knife|Bronze Throwing Knives}} can be used), equip one or both of {{ItemIcon|Gold Sapphire Ring}} and {{ItemIcon|Recoil Shield}}, turn on {{PrayerIcon|Rigour}} and {{PrayerIcon|Eagle Eye}} for accuracy — you do not want to use {{PrayerIcon|Protect from Ranged}}, as you want to be hit to reflect damage, and start the fight. Since Phase 2 does not heal, it will eventually reach 1 HP, because recoil damage can't kill a monster. Eventually, you will hit with your ranged weapon of choice and finish Phase 2.

-'''WARNING:''' Phase 2 can one-shot you. The chances of this are fairly low; however, it's still possible. The requirements are for it to [[Shadowstep]] 2 turns in a row, which will cause it to normal attack you. If your HP is lowered from affliction, and you are affected by [[Mark of Death]], it's possible to die at full HP. If you notice it start to NORMAL ATTACK under these circumstances, you will need to run to survive.

+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.

+* '''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 {{Icon|type=spell|Ignite}} or {{Icon|type=spell|Quake}} to get more effective damage for the duration.

-{{MonsterIcon|Ahrenia}} requires enough {{Skill|Hitpoints|HP}} and [[DR]] to not die. The highest damage attack is [[Shadow Burst]] at 800 damage. At above around {{Skill|Hitpoints|90 HP}}, you will need approximately 45 DR or more to achieve this. Refer to the [[Into_the_Mist/Guide#Ahrenia|above Ahrenia]] gear table for recommendations. Similar to Phase 2, you will ensure {{Icon|Diamond Luck Potion|Diamond Luck Potions}} are active, use any [[Magic#Standard_Magic|Surge spell]], turn on {{PrayerIcon|Augury}} and {{PrayerIcon|Mystic Might}} for extra accuracy, and start the fight. As long as you do not die to one single hit, you can hold eat and survive. Since {{MonsterIcon|Ahrenia}} heals when she uses the special {{SpecialAttack|Into the Mist (attack)|Into the Mist}} attack, this will take some time and [[Glossary#RNG|RNG]] to complete.

-==0.21 Made ITM Idleable==
-''to be updated, jotting down rough information. just check the videos. too lazy to update this section''<br>
-A new change to the Mark of Death mechanic, where a stack is removed after your attack turn. This allows you to never have reduced [[DR]] and can idle each phase of [[ITM]]. The dungeon is still not fully idle as there are forced pauses at boss phases, and you must start each phase. You'll still want to follow prayer suggestions from other sections.
-===Mysterious Figure - Phase 1===
-You need a melee weapon that attacks faster than 2.6s, the attack speed of {{MonsterIcon|Mysterious Figure - Phase 1}}. You'll need to work out [[HP]] and [[DR]] such that you can survive a 600 damage max hit at 50% of your [[HP]], as you need to account for maximum affliction stacks.
-===Mysterious Figure - Phase 2===
-You need a ranged weapon that attacks faster than 1.75s, the buffed attack speed of {{MonsterIcon|Mysterious Figure - Phase 2}}. You'll need to work out [[HP]] and [[DR]] such that you can survive a 772 damage max hit at 50% of your HP, as you need to account for maximum affliction stacks.
-===Ahrenia===
-Ahrenia has no change in idleability as there was no attack that reduced your [[DR]].
