This guide is intended to be mobile-friendly as the UI can make switching difficult. Thus, there will be a focus on limiting the amount of switching necessary, from gear to prayers. Using a web browser or PC will help, as you will be able to swap gear much faster, but is not required. Using a PC will allow you to switch prayers, gear, or spells to optimize [[Glossary|DPS]], but these will not be discussed in depth. | This guide is intended to be mobile-friendly as the UI can make switching difficult.

Event mechanics are explained on the [[Impending_Darkness_Event#Event_Mechanics|Impending Darkness Event]] page. In summary, you will need to clear 4 {{Skill|Slayer}} areas a total of 5 times to complete the entire event. At the end of every area cleared, a harder Boss monster will spawn - it is simply a regular monster with extra combat modifiers. At the end of every round of 4 slayer areas cleared, {{MonsterIcon|Bane}} will spawn. You will have time to swap gear before starting the fight with {{MonsterIcon|Bane}}. You must defeat Bane 4 times, and the next time you finish all of the slayer areas you will be faced with {{MonsterIcon|Bane, Instrument of Fear}}. | Event mechanics are explained on the [[Impending_Darkness_Event#Event_Mechanics|Impending Darkness Event]] page.

Critically, this will also impact the player's [[Auto Eat]] threshold, making each attack successively more dangerous.

This fight is not that much more complicated than most other areas, there are less gear swaps required, so you can focus entirely on keeping yourself alive.

Some areas of this guide are collapsed as they are only relevant if you want to 100% min/max this fight, if wearing the 100% Slayer Negation Set for the entire fight, these collapsed area's can be completely ignored.
This guide is intended to be mobile-friendly as the UI can make switching difficult. Thus, there will be a focus on limiting the amount of switching necessary, from gear to prayers. Using a web browser or PC will help, as you will be able to swap gear much faster, but is not required. Using a PC will allow you to switch prayers, gear, or spells to optimize DPS, but these will not be discussed in depth.
Event Mechanics
Event mechanics are explained on the Impending Darkness Event page. In summary, you will need to clear 4- Controlled Affliction: Each phase of the event will add this modifier to all standard enemies, it grants +500 Maximum HP and as well as a 30% chance to apply Affliction. Each Bane defeated changes this modifier by adding +500 additional HP and 5% additional chance to apply Affliction.
- Affliction: For each stack of affliction, the player's max HP is reduced by 1% until the player is at 50% of their original maximum HP. Critically, this will also impact the player's Auto Eat threshold, making each attack successively more dangerous. Affliction stacks are cleared after each monster is defeated or when the player leaves combat whether due to death or fleeing.

Unhallowed Wasteland, 100% Slayer Negation Sets
This is the most important set and is targeted for

Equipment Choices
The Slayer Skillcape or ( Maximum Skillcape) is non-negotiable, as fights take place in Slayer areas with an item requirement to enter. Taking the cape off in the middle of combat, for example during the pause before Bane, will cause all of your attacks to miss. In previous versions of the game, this dungeon required 99 in all skills, and therefore you would always have a Maximum Skillcape available, since this is no longer the case, it is very possible to do the dungeon with several skills less than 99, however, Slayer Skillcape is still very important and should be considered the minimum requirement.
Shield of Melee Power, Shield of Ranged Power, and Shield of Magic Power should be equipped as soon as they are obtained.
For melee, if the Ultima Godsword is equipped, the Shield of Melee Power should be equipped in the passive slot. This is not possible forRing of Power is typically better than the other DPS options, but as you only get one, it may be inconvenient to use it for anything but Bane, Instrument of Fear.
In general, the ring and passive slot options are quite flexible outside of Unhallowed Wasteland, if you don't own any of the listed options, you won't be missing too much. Some alternative options are:
- Wasteful Ring - Ring/Passive, large survivability increase, good for Bane.
- Deadeye - Passive, allows you to wear an amulet with DR in the amulet slot.
- Fighter Deadeye Warlock - Rings, extra damage
- Elder Crown - Passive, lifesteal and faster attacks.
- Melee:
- Terran God Armor can be used if you're worried about dying, but is generally not recommended for anything except Bane.
- Use Ring of Blade Echoes or Relentless Fury Ring. Note that Blade Echoes should not be used in conjunction with Ultima Godsword
- Relentless Fury Gloves and Relentless Fury Ring can be used in place of their un-upgraded equivalents if you own them.
- Ranged:
- Poison Virulence Gloves and Poison Virulence Ring can be used in place of their un-upgraded equivalents if you own them.
- Magic:
- Burning Madness Gloves and Burning Madness Ring can be used in place of their un-upgraded equivalents if you own them.

- 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 no matter what.
- Potions:
- Diamond Luck Potions for the entire event. if you are using Error creating thumbnail: File missingWaterfall Crossing, the diamond luck potions should be substituted for other potions, but preferably Damage Reduction Potion IV.
- Diamond Luck Potions for the entire event. if you are using
- Summoning Tablets:
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingDragon andError creating thumbnail: File missingMinotaur,Error creating thumbnail: File missingCentaur, orError creating thumbnail: File missingWitch.
- Fox and Error creating thumbnail: File missingMinotaur,Error creating thumbnail: File missingCentaur, orError creating thumbnail: File missingWitch can also be used, if unlocked. Fox andError creating thumbnail: File missingDragon is a powerful combination against Bane when usingError creating thumbnail: File missingIncinerate.
- Prayers:
- These will be outlined on a case-by-case basis for each slayer area below.
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingProtect Item will not be 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.
- Ammo:
- Whetstone
- Jadestone Bolts
- Wizard's Scroll - These can be skipped as they don't give any DPS benefit
- Spells:
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingFire Surge is the generally recommended spell.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAnguish III andError creating thumbnail: File missingSurge II are not required but do provide better DPS.
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingIncinerate is a decent alternative that works especially well with theError creating thumbnail: File missingDragon andError creating thumbnail: File missingUnicorn synergy ("You now heal for all BURNING damage you or the Dragon Familiar applies") to make eating a fair bit easier. Incinerate also pairs well with Fox andError creating thumbnail: File missingDragon, like stated above. You may wish to switch to any normal spell and start relying on Ocean Song once the enemy reaches less than half HP, as the burn damage will drop off as it is based on the enemies HP%. Using this spell will also allow you to use Damage Reduction Potions instead of Diamond Luck as your hits are already guaranteed at 20k+ Accuracy Rating, however, this potion should generally only be used when you won't need to swap to the other combat styles (ie. only during Bane fights)

Area Order
The recommended order of areas to clear is as follows:
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingUnhallowed Wasteland
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingDark Waters
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingShrouded Badlands
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingPerilous Peaks
Unhallowed Wasteland
- Wear the Slayer Negation sets outlined above, having 100% slayer area effect negation is mandatory, as the area effect is extremely detrimental to your ability to kill anything. Swap each set for Combat Triangle advantage.
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingIncinerate can be used to quickly procError creating thumbnail: File missingDragon burns against each melee UW monster if you wish, though Ocean Song and normal magic should be used when the enemy has roughly 50% of its health remaining.
- Prayers:
- Use Error creating thumbnail: File missingBattleheart (Error creating thumbnail: File missingBattleborn) andError creating thumbnail: File missingError creating thumbnail: File missingError creating thumbnail: File missingProtect from the combat style the enemy is using.
- Use
- Dangerous Enemies
- All of them, if you get to high stacks of affliction.
- Spiked Red Claw's Savage Spike ability is the most dangerous ability, if you are bleeding when this attack is coming out, eat to full.
Dark Waters
- Wear the Dark Waters 40% negation sets outlined above (ie. as much DPS gear as possible excluding Slayer Skillcape and Master Slayer Hats, if you choose the "Slayer Area Effects are 5% Stronger" Modifier, wear a Hunter's Ring in the Passive Slot. Swap each set for combat triangle advantage.
- Prayers:
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingBattleheart andError creating thumbnail: File missingPiety,Error creating thumbnail: File missingRigour, orError creating thumbnail: File missingAugury.
- If the Throne of the Herald Expansion is purchased, the level 99+ equivalents should be used if possible (Error creating thumbnail: File missingBattleborn,Error creating thumbnail: File missingValor,Error creating thumbnail: File missingAvidity, andError creating thumbnail: File missingDivination) respectively. This goes for all slayer areas, even though it isn't required by any means.
- If the Throne of the Herald Expansion is purchased, the level 99+ equivalents should be used if possible (
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingBattleheart andError creating thumbnail: File missingProtect from Ranged if fighting Rokken.
- Replace Error creating thumbnail: File missingBattleheart withError creating thumbnail: File missingBattleborn if possible. This goes for all slayer areas, even though it isn't required by any means.
- Dangerous Enemies:
- Rokken: multiple Shockwave attacks connecting with you will be a bad time, keep your health above the damage value of shockwave when stunned, but be careful not to interrupt your attacks too often so you're able to drop the stun effect. Mist Boss Rokken is incredibly dangerous as it almost always attacks faster than you.
Shrouded Badlands
- No additional Area Negation is required anymore, Slayer Skillcape is enough to sufficiently cover the accuracy loss and the enemies aren't difficult enough to warrant full negation. Swap each set for combat triangle advantage, or don't, these enemies aren't difficult.
- Prayers:
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingBattleheart andError creating thumbnail: File missingPiety,Error creating thumbnail: File missingRigour, orError creating thumbnail: File missingAugury.
- Dangerous Enemies:
- None!
Perilous Peaks
- Same as above, no area negation is required, wear as much DPS equipment as you can manage. Swap each set for combat triangle advantage.
- Prayers:
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingBattleheart andError creating thumbnail: File missingPiety,Error creating thumbnail: File missingRigour, orError creating thumbnail: File missingAugury.
- Dangerous Enemies:
- None, if you use the appropriate gear based on the combat triangle.
Bane
Disclaimer:
Every time you reach Bane it picks a combat style at random, if you do not like the choice you get (because your equipment set is lacking for example), you can reroll the style he picked by fleeing from the battle. Don't cancel the event itself, just the orange "Run" will make you have to do the last Slayer Area again and the combat style of Bane will once again be randomized.
Abilities and Eating Methods
This fight is not that much more complicated than most other areas, there are less gear swaps required, so you can focus entirely on keeping yourself alive. 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, don't rely too heavily on this, as resetting your attack also removes any chance of using special attacks on the next attack.
If possible, if Bane is not casting Fragile Mind, you can swap your Protect Prayer for the DPS Prayer of your respective combat style to hopefully squeeze in a little more damage, this is not necessary, but might make the fight a little quicker.
- Suffocate: Eat once after each of your own attack turns finishes to proc a bit of lifesteal/damage, also eat at around 60% HP or earlier. You want to avoid the sleep completely while still doing as much damage as possible, if you do get slept, it may be safer to simply run from combat than to try to drop the effect.
- Fragile Mind: If you are debuffed by Fragile Mind, eat before the attack lands if your HP is low.
- Unknown Threat: Typically not dangerous.
- Mist Walk: Does no damage, however, if Bane tries to use it twice in a row he will use a Normal Attack instead, the damage value of which changes based on the modifiers you have selected. Typically not dangerous, but if the damage is more than your HP at any time, eat to survive.
- Overwhelming Power: Exclusive to the final Bane. If you are debuffed by Fragile Mind, or if this attack can deal more than your auto-eat threshold based on your affliction, hold the food button to keep yourself healed. Typically not dangerous at low levels of Affliction.
Melee Bane
Probably the hardest style as the modifiers stack up. Just let the Tidal Edge or Ultima Godsword do the work as you pay attention to his attacks. In some of the modifier variations, the final Bane will be extremely difficult, and will require more effort overall than any other Bane.
If he proves to be too much of a challenge, remember that you can re-roll his attack style by re-clearing the area. With good sense for eating and appropriate gear, this fight is not so much more difficult that it requires a re-roll.
