The maps of Mistfall Hunter are full of things trying to end your run. Some are corrupted monsters, some are apex predators built for dedicated fights, and all of them sit on the PvE side of the game's PvPvE design described on Extraction and Gameplay Loop.
The Corroded
The most common threat is the Corroded, creatures twisted by the Gyldenmist. They are the standard monsters you fight while scavenging a zone, and they range from basic enemies up to nastier types like the Frenzied Wizard. Their origin in the mist is covered on The World and Lore.
The Velgr
Another enemy line is the Velgr. The developers have described designing the Soulreaver Acolyte, identified as the female Velgr, which suggests the Velgr come in more than one form.
The Mist Lords
At the top of the threat list are the Mist Lords, described as the terrifying apex bosses of the world. These are the marquee encounters, challenged in the high-difficulty Einherjar Mode.
Confirmed bosses
Several named bosses have been revealed for the pre-launch builds. The table below lists what has been confirmed about each. Note one open question: the moon-themed boss appears under two names, and the makers have not stated whether they are the same entity, so both are listed.
Boss | Details |
|---|---|
Sálmar, the Cursed Moonwane | A two-phase boss in Hallowgrove, born of a failed forbidden experiment to summon a deity. Described as fused flesh and departed souls. |
Otto, the Flesheater | A confirmed boss revealed through the makers' official channel; further detail is limited. |
General Harald | Also called Harald, the Fallen General, an Einherjar boss. Fought in the Chaos Trio setting via Einherjar Mode, activated by a Dried Flower Knot. |
Prayer of the Moon | A boss present in the June 2026 Open Beta that summons phantoms during the fight. It may be the in-match name or phase of Sálmar, the Cursed Moonwane, but this has not been officially confirmed. |
Einherjar Mode
The toughest boss hunts run in Einherjar Mode, a high-difficulty mode reached within a Chaos Trio match and switched on with a Dried Flower Knot. This is where players take on the likes of General Harald and challenge the Mist Lords. The maps these fights take place across are covered on Maps and Zones.
