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.

===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. | 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.
