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}}. | Event mechanics are explained on the [[Impending_Darkness_Event#Event_Mechanics|Impending Darkness Event]] page.

===Unhallowed Wasteland, 100% Slayer Negation Sets=== | |||
This is the most important set and is targeted for {{ZoneIcon|Unhallowed Wasteland}}. You can use this set for the remaining Slayer areas, but it will be helpful to swap to the other sets to optimize your damage output. | |||

{{ | This set is targeted for {{MonsterIcon|Bane}}, here we remove all extraneous Slayer Area negation as we want maximum damage reduction and damage output.

===== | ===Equipment Choices=== | ||
{{ | The {{ItemIcon|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 an area, for example during the pause before Bane, will cause all of your attacks to miss. | ||
| | |||
}} | |||
{{ItemIcon|Shield of Melee Power}}, {{ItemIcon|Shield of Ranged Power}}, and {{ItemIcon|Shield of Magic Power}} should be equipped as soon as they are obtained. | |||

| | **{{ItemIcon|Terran God Platebody|Terran God Armor}} can be used if you're worried about dying, but is generally not recommended for anything except Bane. | ||
| | **Use {{ItemIcon|Ring of Blade Echoes}} or {{ItemIcon|Relentless Fury Ring}} | ||
| | **{{ItemIcon|Relentless Fury Gloves}} and {{ItemIcon|Relentless Fury Ring}} can be used in place of their un-upgraded equivalents if you own them. | ||
