With the {{AoD}} [[Atlas of Discovery Expansion]], [[Gems]] can be used, and {{ItemIcon|Malevolent Ward Shield}} may be used in place of {{ItemIcon|Earth Layered Shield}} for the magic equipment set, however this is by no means required.

The {{ItemIcon|Maximum Skillcape}} or ({{ItemIcon|Slayer 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 combat, for example during the pause before Bane, will cause all of your attacks to miss. In previous versions of the game, this dungeon required 99 in all skills, and therefore you would always have a {{ItemIcon|Maximum Skillcape}} available, since this is no longer the case, it is very possible to do the dungeon with several skills less than 99, however, {{ItemIcon|Slayer Skillcape}} is still very important and should be considered the minimum requirement.
