Equipment

 * Armor: Use max AL. Rune of Superior Vigor, Runes of Attunement, Radiant Insignias.  Be sure to have at least 50 energy.
 * Weapons: Use a Fire Magic staff with +20% enchantments and +30 health. A caster spear and The Bison Cup will also do just fine.
 * It is recommended to have at least 525 health to use this build.

Usage

 * When you zone into the Underworld, cast Fire Attunement, and go get the quest from the Lost Soul. Run back to the circular platform in the middle of the chamber.
 * To your left, four Grasping Darkness should spawn. When they merge with the group of Aatxe, Use Storm Djinn's Haste, Glyph of Sacrifice, and then aggro the Grasping Darkness to the middle of the circular platform.  Cast Meteor Shower at the same time as Ether Prism.  Wait until initial damage from Meteor Shower kicks in and cast Bed of Coals.
 * Cast Magnetic Aura.
 * Cast Phoenix.
 * Foes should be dead within a second or two.
 * Rinse and repeat for the other two groups of Grasping Darkness.
 * Once all of the Grasping Darkness are dead, run to the Ice Wastes with Storm Djinn's Haste. If you don't know how to run there, learn.
 * When facing Smite Crawlers, you won't need to use Storm Djinn's Haste or Glyph of Sacrifice. Simply aggro the group, cast Meteor Shower, and use Ether Prism once all of the foes have surrounded you.  Continue your chain as usual, except cast Magnetic Aura before Bed of Coals.  There will usually be one or two survivors when facing groups of four or more.  But if you cast your chain perfectly and with proper timing, you should nuke out all Smite Crawlers.
 * Avoid patrols of Coldfire Nights.
 * Kill Dying Nightmares with Phoenix.

Counters

 * Being interrupted (highly unlikely).
 * Having your enchantments stripped while running and not being able to recover.
 * Improper timing.
 * Inexperience.
