Toss all your gold in the bank, don't use items, and when you die, there's nearly no reprecussions (Loss of Gold to revive everyone is way less than half your gold in most situations). If worst comes to worst, you just reset the game (Kind of a cop out, but still the option is there).
Here, there's nothing you can do to prepare, and nothing you can do to avoid it. I remember when I was doing Akyrum for my Cygnus Knight buff, I would die, re-enter, and die immediately again within 5 seconds, before even attacking again, because of that AOE kill or something similar. How is that a fun thing to do? Now with bosses like Empress having 1hkos from map skills is just dumb...and bosses that do all of your health in damage is stupid.
Aswan hard mode isn't that bad as I'm normally the most agile Phantom of the attacking group with the least deaths...but that Dark Genesis' range is quite a different story especially since you can only use the WoF to respawn or eat a loss.
