[edit] Equipment

Armor

• A Scythe Mastery Headpiece with a Wind walker Insignia and a Superior Scythe Mastery Rune
• The Chest Should have a radiant insignia and either a Vigor or Minor Earth Prayers rune (note vigor runes give you greater survivability, it just means you must be diligent in maintaining enchantments)
• Legs Should have a Wind Walker Insignia and a Rune of Attunement
• Gloves should again have a Wind Walker insignia and Minor Mysticism
• Shoes Should have a Wind Walker insignia and a Rune of Minor Wind Prayers

Weapons

• Any Sundering (20/20) or Zealous Scythe of Enchanting
• Droknars Reaper, Scythe of Corruption, Or Asterius' Scythe are perfect.

[edit] Usage

• Once You Spawn in the underworld, use pious haste and run to the lost soul and take the "Clear The Chamber" Quest, and pious Haste it back to the stone where you spawned, and kill any dying nightmares that spawned and ran down.

• Use pious haste to aggro the grasping darknesses on the left hand side stairs (left being if you are facing the lost soul) then run back down the stairs into a corner, hopefully the graspings should follow, and attaxes should stay behind.

• Activate Physical Resistance, Zealous Vow, Mystic Regen, and Mystic Vigor, and maintain them while Spamming your two attack skills, and eventually they should die.
• Proceed to aggro and kill the 2 other Graspings then proceed to run to the ice wastes directions are as follows:
• Face the lost soul and pious haste run up the stairs on the right.
• Take the next right, all while maintaining Pious Haste.
• once you get to an area where theres 2 attaxes roaming, and a group of two Grasping Darknesses and a dying nightmare(or three Grasping Darnesses), take the left, and keep running until you break aggro with the Graspings.
• If you followed this well, you should see a group of smite crawlers in front of you.
• Killing Smites is much like Graspings just you must maintain Rending Aura at ALL times otherwise their Shield of Judgment will eat you alive, and they will heal faster than you can damage them. Just keep spamming those skills and you should be fine.
• Proceed to kill the groups of smite crawlers without aggroing and Coldfire Nights, this may seem hard at first, but just watch their patrols and time your runs between them, remember Pious Haste isn't just there to look good.
• Pick up your drops/ectos if your lucky, resign and try again :D

[edit] Counters

• Accidentally having an attaxe join in while fighting Grasping Darknesses, however this can be counterd by running WELL out of range of them.
• Accidentally aggroing a Coldfire Night while fighting Smite Crawlers. This too can be avoided by pulling the Smites into one of the many corners out of range of the Coldfires.

[edit] Notes

• Never fret if you make a few mistakes, the Underworld is a harsh place, and it takes some time and money to learn the ropes of this vicious area.
