Similar to {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}} and {{ZoneIcon|Impending Darkness Event}}, this Dungeon consists of 3 boss phases, each tailored to a specific Combat Style. There will be a paused screen as soon as you enter the dungeon, and before each phase of the boss, where the player can read the boss's abilities and damage values. Unlike those dungeons, there are significantly less mechanics that dynamically change the amount of damage the boss can do, outside of the returning [[Affliction]].

There will be a paused screen as soon as you enter the dungeon, and before each phase of the boss, where the player can read the boss's abilities and damage values. Unlike those dungeons, there are significantly less mechanics that dynamically change the amount of damage the boss can do, outside of the returning [[Affliction]]. Due to this it is generally easier to determine the circumstances in which the player can survive without manually eating. The third phase has a mechanic that instantly kills the player (by dealing about a million damage) if they fall below 90% {{Skill|Hitpoints|HP}}. | ||

This build has 1,220 {{Skill|Hitpoints}} and 76% Damage Reduction. It also relies on {{ItemIcon|Leviathan Shield}} being fully stacked (for a total of 82% DR) - this is guaranteed to happen well before the player is in any danger due to the length of time it takes for Affliction to fully stack. | |||
Switching the ring and passive slot for the more damage oriented options will likely kill the boss slightly faster, but this should not be necessary, and they will enable a very low chance that the player can die if they are hit with a Normal Attack when the boss is at full stacks of Growing Madness and the player is at full stacks of Affliction. If going this route, make sure to Manually Eat before a normal attack connects if its damage is higher than your auto-eat threshhold | |||
The {{ItemIcon|Palladium Runestone Ring}} MUST be equipped in the passive slot and NOT the ring slot, as it has a "hidden" -1% Damage Reduction stat that only applies in the ring slot. | |||

With the {{ItemIcon|Voodoo Trinket}} equipped, the player is able to use curses without a {{Skill|Magic}} weapon. This is essential, as using the {{SpellIcon|Despair}} curse is the primary way to deal damage to the boss. This boss becomes '''SIGNIFICANTLY MORE DIFFICULT''' if this trinket and curse are not used. | With the {{ItemIcon|Voodoo Trinket}} equipped, the player is able to use curses without a {{Skill|Magic}} weapon.

Using | Using the suggested equipment, this phase is relatively low risk as the Herald's maximum hit will often be below the player's {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat}} threshold. However, manually eating is advised if the Herald performs a normal attack while the player is affected by [[Sleep]], as this can be lethal. For any special attacks, rely on [[Auto Eat]] instead. | ||
While the Herald can apply Affliction in this phase, the stacks take a very long time to accumulate, therefore this is not usually a concern. | |||
