This writeup 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
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, 
Bane will spawn. You will have time to swap gear before starting the fight with Bane.
Setup
Equipment Sets
You will need to equip each outlined set as you will be switching between equipment sets frequently.
Gear is DR-focused for both mobile- and
-friendly completion. The rewards given while clearing the event are not required but may help with DPS if you so choose to use them. The 
Maximum Skillcape is non-negotiable, as fights take place in Slayer areas.
Slayer Negation Sets
This is the most important set and is targeted for
. You can use this set for the remaining Slayer areas, but it will be helpful to swap to God Armor for better bonuses once completed.
Melee
If you choose the immune to stun modifier, switch off 
Fighter Amulet.

and
last.
Fight Details
Prayers
choice is different for each Slayer area. Prayers are listed in priority order and are recommended this way to reduce the need to change them on mobile as it can be difficult given the UI.
Prayers for Bane fights will be Protect from combat style and Battleheart.
| Slayer Area | Required Prayer | Optional Prayer | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|---|
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Shrouded Badlands |

Eating Patterns
takes more attention than
. High healing food such as 
Whale (Perfect) is highly recommended. Pay attention to all attacks throughout the event, and eat to full whenever in doubt. Listed below are the high priority monsters and attacks to watch out for.
| Monster | Attack | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Rokken/Rokken Boss |
Shockwave | Modifiers can make Rokken hurt, and a boss Rokken will be very fast. Eat to full.
|
 Ku-tul |
Curse of the Deep | If you don't switch to god armor, modifiers + affliction can make this hit hard, since Ranged has no DR amulet. Eat to full. |
| Greater Skeletal Dragon |
Bone Crush | Being stunned by a Bone Crush, the -10% DR debuff from Spiked Tail Whip, affliction stacks, plus any additional modifiers makes this pretty dangerous. If you have full debuffs (stun, -10% DR), Eat to full. |
| Spiked Red Claw |
Savage Spike | If you're bleeding, Eat to full. |
| Bane, Bane, Instrument of Fear |
Suffocate | Eat at around 60% HP or earlier. You want to avoid the sleep completely. |
| Bane, Bane, Instrument of Fear |
Fragile Mind | If you are debuffed by Fragile Mind, Eat to full. |
| Bane, Instrument of Fear |
Overwhelming Power | Spam eat. |
Area Fights

and
are not required but do provide better DPS; however, they will have to be selected every time you swap to your
set.
| Slayer Area | Notes |
|---|---|
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Shrouded Badlands |
You can use Error creating thumbnail: File missing Magic and Ocean Song the entire area.
|
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Perilous Peaks |
Swap each set for Combat Triangle advantage. |
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Dark Waters |
Swap each set for Combat Triangle advantage. |
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Unhallowed Wasteland |
Swap each set for Combat Triangle advantage. Incinerate and its burn can be used to help quickly DPS each melee UW monster if you wish, but Ocean Song and normal magic works fine. |
Bane Fights
Bane's attack style randomly rolls when he spawns. If you don't want to fight with a particular style, you can run - do not Stop the event as this will reset all progress - and reclear the slayer area to roll a new Bane spawn.
Melee Bane
Probably the most annoying style as the modifiers stack up. Nothing special, just let Tidal Edge do the work as you pay attention to his attacks.
Ranged Bane
Decent fight due to the
+
synergy adding a lot of extra damage. Nothing special, as
is a strong weapon.
Magic Bane
Probably the easiest style as you can
the entire fight for guaranteed burn and damage. You can switch to any normal spell and start relying on Ocean Song as the burn damage will drop off around half HP if you want, but is not really necessary. You can use normal
and Ocean Song the entire fight too. Using
the entire fight allows you to use 
Damage Reduction Potions instead of Diamond Luck as your hits are already guaranteed at 20k+ Accuracy Rating.
