Into the Mist/Guide

There are a number of ways Into the Mist can be completed. In general, waves 1-20 are best completed with your best Magic gear and Ancient Magicks or actively switching to take advantage of Combat Triangle bonuses. It's highly recommended that once you reach the final boss, you take the time to calculate the DR values and maximum hits per attack of each phase. Eating strategies can generally solve the final bosses and aid you in learning when to deal damage and when to survive, but it's useful to know what attack might kill you with your exact gear and levels. For all phases of the dungeon, as long as you do not get instantly killed by one attack (one shot), you can most likely complete the dungeon with the appropriate weapon.

Eating Patterns

There are 3 different eating patterns used in this guide. It's important to note that this dungeon only needs to be completed once, so the strategy is not about completing the dungeon as fast as possible, but rather not dying so you can complete it at least once. It is far more important to ensure you have enough HP to survive an attack than not resetting your attack timer through manual eating.

1. Autoeat — let autoeat heal you and do not interrupt your attack.
2. Eat if not full HP — eat to full HP if you are not full HP. Then let autoeat heal you.
3. Hold Enter to Eat/Spam Eat — if you click on your food to eat manually, you will target your equipped food. You can see a bold grey box around your food to indicate it's selected. If you hold the Enter key on your keyboard, it will automatically try to eat each tick, and automatically eat when damaged. Do not let go until the attack is completed. This is not required to complete the dungeon; it just makes it easier. Spam clicking your food can work as well.

Strategy 1: Average Clear

This strategy is generally the most used method to complete Into the Mist. You will use almost every God Dungeon gear set and complete the dungeon by preferring high DPS gear each phase.

Mysterious Figure - Phase 1

Equip a Ragnar Godsword, full Ragnar armor, Infernal Cape, Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs, and Fighter Ring. Use Diamond Luck Potions and turn on Protect from Melee and Piety. Protect from Melee is required here as it sets the boss's chance to hit to 15%, reducing the chance of healing when using Reap and Return significantly. You can opt to use Protect Item instead of Piety to prevent item loss if you die.

Slot	Better to Worse
Head	Ragnar God Helmet			Terran God Helmet
Body	Ragnar God Platebody			Terran God Platebody
Leggings	Ragnar God Platelegs			Terran God Platelegs
Boots	Ragnar God Boots			Terran God Boots
Hands	Ragnar God Gloves			Terran God Gloves
Cape	Infernal Cape			Fire Cape
Neck	Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs			Elite Amulet of Glory
Ring	Fighter Ring		Tormented Ring		Gold Sapphire Ring
Weapon	Ragnar Godsword		Terran Godsword		Infernal Claw
Offhand					Dragonfire Shield

You will need to learn eating patterns to ensure you do not die from attacks but can still put out enough DPS to finish the phase.

Enemy Attack	Eating
Mark of Death	AutoEat
Cursed Edge	Eat if not full HP
Reap and Return	Hold Enter to Eat

Mysterious Figure - Phase 2

Equip Stormsnap, full Aeris armor, Cape of Prat, Deadeye Amulet, and Deadeye Ring. Use Diamond Luck Potions and turn on Protect from Ranged and Rigour. No prayers are required for this phase; however, Rigour is useful here for increased ranged damage and accuracy, and Protect from Ranged can be substituted for Eagle Eye for additional ranged accuracy or Protect Item to prevent item loss in case you die.

Ahrenia

There are a few strategies that can be used for Ahrenia.

20k Accuracy Ancient Magicks

Equip Air Imbued Wand, full Glacia armor, Skull Cape, Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs, Earth Layered Shield, and Warlock Ring. Use Magic Assistance Potion IV or Diamond Luck Potions, turn on Augury and Mystic Might, and use Gust. Ensure you are over 33.4k accuracy before the fight begins to stay above the 20k threshold required to never miss with Gust after Ahrenia reduces your magic accuracy.

Diamond Luck is Key

Equip all of your best Magic gear - this can be the same as the above gear. Use Diamond Luck Potions, turn on Augury and Mystic Might, and use any ancient magicks spell - slower hitting spells such as Quake, Gust, or Ignite are recommended due to the interaction with the Into the Mist increased DR. Do not worry about the reduced magical accuracy debuff, as Diamond Luck Potions will let you continue to put out damage.

Combined Spell Strategy

Optionally, you can optimize damage if you are unable to achieve the 33.4k accuracy rating needed to maintain the ancient magicks 20k threshold by starting the fight with a 20k accuracy ancient magicks spell (Slicing Winds, Gust, or Incinerate) and Magic Assistance Potions and switching spells (Gust, Quake) and potions to Diamond Luck once your magic accuracy is under 20k.

Strategy 2: Minimal Thinking and Effort

This strategy involves maximum AFKing. If you're worried about the final boss, you can follow this strategy.

Mysterious Figure - Phase 1

Phase 1 will require the most effort. This phase will be completed with normal strategies. Equip a Ragnar Godsword, full Ragnar armor, Infernal Cape, Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs, and ring of choice - Gold Sapphire Ring can be used here for minimal extra damage or Fighter Ring for better DPS. Use Diamond Luck Potions and turn on Protect from Melee and { Piety.

Mark of Death	AutoEat
Cursed Edge	Eat if not full HP

Mysterious Figure - Phase 2

Phase 2 requires enough HP and DR to not die at maximum affliction stacks and Mark of Death. The highest damaging hit is Concealed Danger at 450 damage. At above around 90 HP, you will need approximately 2% DR or more to achieve this. You will be damaging this phase to 1 HP through recoil damage and finishing it off with a final attack. Ensure Diamond Luck Potions are active, equip any 1-handed ranged weapon, equip one or both of a Gold Sapphire Ring and Recoil Shield, turn on Rigour and Eagle Eye for accuracy — you do not want to use Protect from Ranged, as you want to be hit to reflect damage, and start the fight. Since Phase 2 does not heal, it will eventually reach 1 HP, because recoil damage can't kill a monster. Eventually, you will hit with your ranged weapon of choice and finish Phase 2.

Ahrenia

Ahrenia requires enough HP and DR to not die. The highest damage attack is Shadow Burst at 800 damage. At above around 90 HP, you will need approximately 45 DR or more to achieve this. Similar to Phase 2, you will ensure Diamond Luck Potions are active, use any Surge spell and the curse Decay, turn on Augury and Mystic Might for extra accuracy — Protect from Magic is not used as you want to be hit to proc Decay, and start the fight. As long as you do not die to one single hit, you can hold eat and survive. Since Ahrenia heals when she uses the special Into the Mist (attack) attack, this will take some time and RNG to complete.
