Loading Screen Tips

This page lists every tip shown on the loading screens of Mistfall Hunter.

Ruins

After the gods fell, Brandrgarde and Hallowgrove were left in ruins and their people lost their faith. Now only Gyldhunters roam these monster-filled ruins, hunting monsters for Gyldenblod.

Avoid the Gyldenmist

Staying in the Gyldenmist drains your Health quickly. Move to the safe zone ahead of time to avoid it.

Returner Woodling

Listen for the sounds and effects of a Returner Woodling appearing and fighting to find it quickly and extract.

Strong enemies

When you challenge a strong enemy in a red zone on the map, a barrier forms that keeps other Gyldhunters out. Interact with the barrier to leave it.

Get ready

Active skills and talents can be changed at any time; remember to adjust them before each run.

Mist Lord

If a Mist Lord is too strong for you, go to the mist gate to give up the challenge.

Mist Lord

Defeating a Mist Lord opens a portal that can help you reach the safe zone quickly.

Weak-point crits

Hitting a weak point deals a critical hit for more damage and more impact. The head is the weak point of Gyldhunters and most monsters.

Aim

Before attacking, use the mouse to turn the camera and aim at the enemy.

Effective range

Each kind of ranged damage has an effective range. Beyond it, damage and impact fall off.

Energy

If you run out of Energy you cannot use Energy skills for a short time.

Skill info

Press the skill info key in combat to read the description of all your current skills.

Use your items

Equip and use supplies and tactical items to heal, set traps and hit enemies from afar.

Super Armor Clash

When a melee attack lands while both fighters have super armor, a Super Armor Clash triggers: both actions are interrupted and both lose the same amount of Energy.

Dagger

With daggers, the Shadowstrix can press primary and secondary attack together to sneak into invisibility.

Dual blades

With dual blades, the Shadowstrix uses primary attack for light hits and secondary attack for heavy hits; mixing them creates different follow-up moves.

Sword and shield

With sword and shield, the Mercenary holds secondary attack to block, reducing damage by the Block Damage Reduction Rate. Monster rage attacks cannot be blocked.

Hammer

With the hammer, the Mercenary holds secondary attack to charge. A full charge launches a long charge attack with super armor the whole way.

Blackarrow

The Blackarrow can carry up to 3 kinds of special arrows. Marksman arrows focus on damage; hunter arrows have special utility.

Sorcerer

Fireball, Thunder Call, Shooting Star and Stardust Torrent can be tapped to cast a weaker version that costs no Energy.

Sorcerer

The Sorcerer must pick one school: Stardust magic or Elemental magic.

Healing

When it is not urgent, heal with Healing Elixirs. Save the precious Springhorn for when you need Health fast.

Triumphant Drink

Before heading out, visit Sigrid for a drink. Pick affixes that can trigger extra effects to get the most out of it.

Curse pillars

Getting close to the horse-head curse pillars in the fortress hurts you. Hit the top of a pillar to break it for a while.

Advanced chests

Advanced chests hold rich rewards, but you usually have to defeat the monsters guarding them to open them.

Final showdown

In Brandrgarde's trio mode, the Returner Woodling that appears only during the final circle carries three Souls of Return: your last chance to escape.

Invisibility

When an invisible player gets close, enemies can hear their heartbeat; the closer they are, the faster it beats.

Sorcerer

For Sorcerer combos (primary/secondary skill + primary/secondary attack), you can release the skill key once chanting starts and just keep holding the attack key.

Breakaway

After taking 2 hits with impact in a short time, you can dodge during stagger to perform a Breakaway, ignoring collision with other units.

Emotes

Use the Emote Wheel to perform all kinds of emotes.

Quick recovery

While getting up after being knocked down, you can dodge early to get up faster.

Ringbearer Seer

The Ringbearer Seer's shields do not stack; a new shield replaces the old one.

Ringbearer Seer

The Ringbearer Seer can hold primary and secondary attack together to restore Spirit at any time.

Ringbearer Seer

Skills the Ringbearer Seer casts on allies have aim assist; use special attack to switch the target to yourself.

Rune Pillar

If an enemy Seer's Rune Pillar is giving you trouble, attack the pillar to destroy it.

Sword and shield

With sword and shield, the Mercenary enters the Blade state after hitting enemies 5 times; in that state, hold light attack for a piercing strike.

Map rules

Red zones on the map are full of danger. Be extra careful when exploring them.

Map rules

The fortress has many Warp Rifts that teleport you to another rift.

Camp upgrades

Every camp option plays a key role. Plan your resources well to grow stronger. See Upgrade Materials.

Einherjar Mode

Use a Dried Flower Knot to challenge the Mist Lord in Einherjar Mode: harder, with better rewards.

Mode differences

Weapons have different stat and skill modifiers in solo and trio modes.

Ranged vs. melee

After each failed extraction you respawn with starter gear; melee classes get more Healing Elixirs.

Ranged vs. melee

Melee attacks break poise better, so they stagger monsters more easily.

Crouch

Crouch to sneak while making less noise, so monsters have a harder time noticing you.

Mending fate

Amid endless chaos and despair, a mysterious girl walks the world, reviving fallen heroes and guiding them to become Gyldhunters who gather Gyldenblod. One day the broken Web of Fate will be mended and the world frozen at its end will be saved.

Gyldenblod and Gyldenmist

The blood of the fallen gods spread across the world as Gyldenblod and Gyldenmist. Gyldenblod holds the power of the gods and everyone covets it, while the Gyldenmist corrupts whoever it touches, twisting soul and body into mad Rustborn that ravage the land.

Mist Lord rage

A Mist Lord enrages after some time in combat. Defeat it as fast as you can.

Finishers

Finishing a downed enemy restores Health and one Springhorn charge. Damage with impact interrupts the finisher.

Seer

The Seer can only use skills of the current school and cannot switch schools mid-match. Choose your school before the match starts.

Healing Elixir

Non-over-time damage from enemy Gyldhunters immediately cancels the healing of a Healing Elixir.

Soul Tree

When a level's Gyldening is Chaos, the Soul of Return cannot attach to the Soul Tree, so you cannot extract through it.

Smuggler Woodling

A Smuggler Woodling appears at random some time into the match. Interact with it to extract with some of your items.

Profane Seer

Switch the Seer between the Ringbearer and Profane schools in the skill menu. The Profane Seer revolves around Curse Energy: when it is full, secondary attack becomes the selected rune-enchanted heavy attack.

Profane Seer

The Profane Seer regains Curse Energy by hitting enemies with primary or secondary attack. It also regenerates over time, but not during Frenzy.

Training room

Go to the training room to practice and spar with your friends.

Training room

The training room has room settings, including summoning AI opponents.

Training room

Players in the training room cannot be downed or defeated.

Two sides of faith

Cast aside the catalyst's whispers and embrace Curse Energy. In the Skills menu the Seer can switch to the melee Profane school for close-range fights and rune bursts.

Ladder jump

Slow climbing only exposes you. Press Dodge on a ladder to jump off and escape danger faster!

Breakaway

Breakaway has a cooldown. Taking damage and dealing damage both reduce it.

Dodge Energy

Dodging uses its own resource, Dodge Energy. It is precious: use it wisely to gain the upper hand.

Knight

The Withered Knight's light attacks apply Wither; heavy attacks then Execute withered enemies for extra damage.

Switching classes

With Dew's help you can easily try out different classes.

Fast leveling

When you want to level up a new character quickly, Dew can help you level them up.

Player markers

The marker above an enemy Gyldhunter's head gives a rough idea of their average gear quality. Know your enemy.

Monster markers

A yellow or red marker above a monster means the power gap is very large. Think twice!

Aiming melee

Melee attacks always go where your character is facing, not where the crosshair points.

Cosmetics

Cosmetic skins only show in matches when you wear armor in the matching slot.

Selling

You can bulk-sell spare items from your backpack and warehouse to the merchant Cazarro.
