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 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.

Eating Patterns

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 HP to survive an attack than not resetting your attack timer through manual eating.

  1. Autoeat — let autoeat heal you and do not interrupt your attack.
  2. Eat if not full
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    HP
    — eat to full HP if you are not full HP. Then let autoeat heal you.
  3. 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

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 depending if you are 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.

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 cave fish, manta ray, or whale, as this will gain HP faster when you manually eat, reducing the chance of the boss hitting fast and frequently enough with its multihit attacks to kill you.

Minimum Recommended Levels

Using various of the explained methods in this guide, this dungeon was completed with 85 attack, 85 strength, 85 defence, 93 hitpoints, 88 prayer, 1 range, 85 magic. No range levels are required using the recoil method for phase 2; however, at least 80 range is recommended to use Stormsnap if using a more traditional approach. Diamond luck potions were used at these levels for each phase as well as generally BIS gear.

Strategy 1: Average Clear

This strategy is generally the most used method to complete

. You will use almost every God Dungeon gear set and complete the dungeon by preferring high DPS gear each phase.

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 Diamond Luck Potions and turn on

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Piety

.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Protect from Melee

is required here as it sets the boss's chance to hit to 15%, reducing the chance of healing when using Reap and Return significantly. You can opt to use

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Protect Item

instead of

Piety

to prevent item loss if you die.

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.

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. 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 Ahrenia.

20k Accuracy Ancient Magicks

Equip Air Imbued Wand, full Glacia armor, Skull Cape, Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs, Earth Layered Shield, and Warlock Ring. Use Magic Assistance Potion IV or Diamond Luck Potions, turn on

Augury

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mystic Might

, and use Gust. Ensure you are over 33.4k accuracy before the fight begins to stay above the 20k threshold required to never miss with Gust after Ahrenia reduces your magic accuracy.

Diamond Luck is Key

Equip all of your best Magic gear - this can be the same as the above gear. Use Diamond Luck Potions, turn on

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Augury

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mystic Might

, and use any ancient magicks spell - slower hitting spells such as Quake, Gust, or Ignite are recommended due to the interaction with the Into the Mist increased DR. Do not worry about the reduced magical accuracy debuff, as Diamond Luck Potions will let you continue to put out damage.

Combined Spell Strategy

Optionally, you can optimize damage if you are unable to achieve the 33.4k accuracy rating needed to maintain the ancient magicks 20k threshold by starting the fight with a 20k accuracy ancient magicks spell (Slicing Winds, Gust, or Incinerate) and Magic Assistance Potions and switching spells (Gust, Quake) and potions to Diamond Luck once your magic accuracy is under 20k.

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.

Strategy 2: Minimal Thinking and Effort

This strategy involves maximum AFKing. If you're worried about the final boss, you can follow this strategy.

Mysterious Figure - Phase 1

Phase 1 will require the most effort. This phase will be completed with normal strategies. Refer to the above Phase 1 gear table for recommendations. Use Diamond Luck Potions and turn on

Mysterious Figure - Phase 2

Phase 2 requires enough

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
HP

and DR to not die at maximum affliction stacks and Mark of Death. The highest damaging hit is Concealed Dagger at 450 damage. At above around

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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 (even bronze throwing knives can be used), equip one or both of a Gold Sapphire Ring and Recoil Shield, turn on

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Rigour

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Eagle Eye

for accuracy — you do not want to use

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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.
