Hold Enter means that after you click on your food to eat manually once, which will target your equipped food. (You can see a bold grey box around your food to indicate it's selected.) Then you hold the Enter key on your keyboard, which will automatically try to eat each tick, and automatically eat when damaged. Do not let go until the attack is completed. This technique only works in browser versions of the game and is not required to complete the dungeon; it just makes it easier. Spam clicking your food can work as well.<br>

The most important thing to understand about {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}} is the [[Affliction|Affliction]] debuff, which lowers your max hp by 1% for every stack and stacks up to 50 times.  Every time an attack hits you, while in this dungeon there is a 70% chance to gain a stack of affliction.  This means that in long fights your max hp will drop to 500 which puts your auto eat threshold at 200.  The only way to remove affliction is to defeat the current monster or run.<br>

For this fight it is very helpful to use a weapon with attack speed lower than 2.6.  This means that you can avoid getting hit while you have a stack of the [[Mark of Death]] debuff.  [[Mark of Death]] is survivable with {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat}} at max [[Affliction|affliction]] provided you have at least 34DR. [[Cursed Edge]] can kill you through {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat}} at high [[Affliction|affliction]] stacks so hold enter to eat for this attack once its max hit is higher than your {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat}} threshold.  With 56 DR you can survive [[Reap and Return]] using just {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat}} even at maximum [[Affliction|affliction]] stacks.  This fight is a race due to the healing the boss receives from [[Reap and Return]]. For this reason we use {{PrayerIcon|Protect from Melee}} to limit the amount of healing the boss can do.  {{ItemIcon|Sandstorm Ring}} and {{PrayerIcon|Chivalry}} will help to land hits against this high evasion boss.  {{ItemIcon|Darksteel Dagger}} is very strong here due to how the bleed scales with monster max hp.<br>
