The following guide takes the player through the combat of the {{ItA}} [[Into the Abyss Expansion]] with as little effort as possible. It can be started after completing {{ZoneIcon|Impending Darkness Event}} but it's recommended {{TotH}} [[Combat_Guide/Throne_of_the_Herald|Throne of the Herald]] and {{AoD|Atlas of Discovery}} [[Combat_Guide/Atlas_of_Discovery|Atlas of discovery]] are completed first. | The following guide takes the player through the combat of the {{ItA}} [[Into the Abyss Expansion]] with as little effort as possible.

=== {{Icon|Abyssal Damage|type=damage|nolink=true}} === | |||
'''{{Icon|Abyssal Damage|type=damage}}''' is dealt by all monsters in the {{ItA}} [[Into the Abyss Expansion]], making {{Icon|Damage Reduction}} useless. '''{{Icon|Abyssal Resistance}}''' is the stat required to reduce damage by these enemies. | |||
=== {{Icon|Combat_Reversed_Triangle|Reversed Combat Triangle|nolink=true}} === | |||
In the [[Abyssal Realm]], the direction of the [[Combat Triangle]] is reversed. Note that if your {{Icon|Abyssal Resistance|nolink=true}} is reduced by the enemy's 'Abyssal Intimidation' passive, the combat triangle is applied last. | |||

''Because the combat mechanics in this expansion are rather complex, and minor changes in enemy, equipment and player stats can make specific items better or worse it is always recommended to use the [[Scripting_and_Extensions/Combat_Simulator|Combat Simulator]] to verify how to get the most kills per hour or drops per hour.'' | ''Because the combat mechanics in this expansion are rather complex, and minor changes in enemy, equipment and player stats can make specific items better or worse it is always recommended to use the [[Scripting_and_Extensions/Combat_Simulator|Combat Simulator]] to verify how to get the most kills per hour or drops per hour.'' | ||

Having progressed through {{TotH}} [[Combat_Guide/Throne_of_the_Herald|Throne of the Herald]] and {{AoD}} [[Combat_Guide/Atlas_of_Discovery|Atlas of discovery]] combat will make {{ItA}} [[Into the Abyss Expansion|Into the Abyss]] significantly easier. This is due to {{TotH}} [[Combat_Guide/Throne_of_the_Herald|Throne of the Herald]] powerful starting potions from {{Skill|Herblore}}, {{Skill|Agility}} bonuses, {{Skill|Astrology}} bonuses and {{Skill|Summoning}} familiars. {{AoD}} [[Combat_Guide/Atlas_of_Discovery|Atlas of discovery]] also has many benefits such as the {{Skill|Cartography|notext=true}} [[Cartography#All_Points_of_Interest|Points of Interest]] added which give many useful combat buffs, some of the {{Icon|Unholy Prayers|nolink=true|notext=true}} [[Unholy_Prayers#Unholy_Items|Unholy Items]] can be useful too. | |||

Immediate goals are to begin gathering {{Icon|Abyssal Resistance}} gear.

It is recommended that other abyssal skills are leveled a bit before starting combat to get their AXP bonuses from the respective [[Skill Tree|Skill trees]]: {{Skill|Astrology}}, {{Skill|Agility}}, {{Skill|Township}} and {{Skill|Firemaking}}. | ||
