After defeating 20 Afflicted Monsters, the player must defeat all three phases of the boss. Each phase uses a specific combat style and can only be damaged if the player is using the same style. This means that purchasing the Dungeon Equipment Swapping upgrade from the {{Icon|Shop}} is mandatory for completing this dungeon. | After defeating 20 Afflicted Monsters, the player must defeat all three phases of the boss.

This means, for example, that you do not need to own three separate copies of {{ItemIcon|Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs}}, as you will have time to swap it between each equipment set. Once players are ready, they start the phase by clicking a button. | ||

For each stack of affliction, the player's max HP is reduced by 1% until the player is at 50% of their original maximum HP. Critically, this will also impact the player's [[Auto Eat]] threshold, making each attack successively more dangerous. | For each stack of affliction, the player's max HP is reduced by 1% until the player is at 50% of their original maximum HP.

The choice to use 1h weapons here is important, as their attack interval is low enough to drop stacks of Mark of Death easily. 2h weapons like the {{ItemIcon|Ragnar Godsword}} are very good and may be able to kill the boss faster depending on your specific stats, but they are slow and will generally require you to pay more attention to when you eat. | The choice to use 1h weapons here is important, as their attack interval is low enough to drop stacks of Mark of Death easily. 2h weapons like the {{ItemIcon|Ragnar Godsword}} are very good and may be able to kill the boss faster depending on your specific stats, but they are slow and will generally require you to pay more attention to when you eat. | ||

NOTE: At '''exceptionally high''' stacks of affliction, and while under the effect of Mark of Death, it is possible for the boss's Normal Attack to deal more damage than your total HP.

If this scenario occurs, you must run to guarantee your survival. | NOTE: At '''exceptionally high''' stacks of affliction, and while under the effect of Mark of Death, it is possible for the boss's Normal Attack to deal more damage than your total HP.

As this phase is relatively weak, {{ItemIcon|Cloudburst Staff}} under most circumstances should be deal enough damage to kill Ahrenia before she becomes a real threat, however, as the phase is relatively simple, it is recommended to use the Ancient Magicks as they will allow you to use {{Icon|Damage Reduction Potion|Damage Reduction Potions}} instead of {{ItemIcon|Diamond Luck Potion IV|Diamond Luck}} as your hits are already guaranteed at 20k+ Accuracy Rating. | As this phase is relatively weak, {{ItemIcon|Cloudburst Staff}} under most circumstances should be deal enough damage to kill Ahrenia before she becomes a real threat, however, as the phase is relatively simple, it is recommended to use the Ancient Magicks as they will allow you to use {{Icon|Damage Reduction Potion|Damage Reduction Potions}} instead of {{ItemIcon|Diamond Luck Potion IV|Diamond Luck}} as your hits are already guaranteed at 20k+ Accuracy Rating. | ||

* '''Into the Mist''': Does no damage.
