Enemies & objectives
The Corroded →
Common enemies
Low-tier mutated creatures — the bread-and-butter AI threats that fill the ruins.
Returner Woodling →
Extraction objective
A rare creature you locate and defeat to obtain the Soul of Return, the item that lets you extract with your loot. Beta 3 also added fixed-route exits as an alternative.
Greataxe Berserker →
Elite enemy
A corrupted fortress defender that exists only to fight. Despite the weight of its long-handled axe, it swings with brutal force and wide reach, cutting down several foes at once, and can lunge across great distances to open or chase.
Elite Berserker →
Elite enemy
A Berserker that has fully embraced the Gyldenmist; its axe and body glow with a sinister golden aura. Its roar alone wounds nearby foes, its attack chains are longer and stronger, and it can hurl its massive axe across the battlefield.
Twinblade Warrior Statue →
Elite / Ambush
A colossal hero-statue stirred to life by the weight of the fortress's prayers. It strikes without warning if hunters drop their guard, wielding two blades it can merge into a massive greatsword for sweeping strikes.
Elite Strawer →
Elite enemy
A grotesque effigy of grass and branches twisted into life. Its woven limbs stretch unnaturally far to ensnare prey, and the toughest -- Elite Strawers -- command flocks of crows to conceal their movements and tear at enemies.
Lamplighter →
Elite enemy
A corrupted maid still locked in her ritual of tending fortress lights -- now she sees the golden glow of a hunter's jar as a light that must be extinguished. Her spear-like staff is always faintly smoldering.
Frenzied Wizard →
Elite mage
A sorcerer driven mad by the Gyldening, a twisted perfectionist of ice magic. Its barrages devastate melee and ranged foes alike, turning the battlefield into a frozen nightmare.
Prison Guard & Nightwatcher →
Patrol enemy
The corrupted keepers of Brandrgarde's lowest levels, patrolling in endless repetition. Prison Guards carry barbed pole-spears; Nightwatchers wield chain flails and soul-binding lanterns.
Foul Hound Alpha →
Pack leader
Ravenous pack scavengers that hunt ceaselessly and rarely alone. The largest and most savage rise as Alphas, whose presence turns a pack into a deadly force.
Bosses
General Harald →
Named boss (Mist Lord)
A named boss revealed in an official 'Boss Reveal' trailer.
Sálmar, the Cursed Moonwane →
Named boss (two-phase)

Reported Eneba Beta 3 coverage ↗
Mist Lords →
Boss category
Powerful elite bosses that guard the richest treasure — General Harald is a Mist Lord. The Mist Lord of Einherjar Mode drops Dried Flower Knots (added in the June 17 update).
Reported Steam news / DevNotes ↗
Warden →
Elite / Miniboss
The corrupted jailer of Brandrgarde. He wields a double-headed pillory so heavy a single swing shatters bone and armor, and conjures bone spurs from his shoulder or hand to impale foes at range.
Fungus Matron →
Miniboss / Area boss
A massive malignant fungal organism that blocks entire roads, releasing clouds of violet spores. When wounded it retreats beneath the earth, only to erupt again and resume its assault.

Enemies & bosses FAQ
What's the final boss in Mistfall Hunter?
The studio hasn't named a single 'final boss.' The standout named bosses so far are General Harald (a Mist Lord), Sálmar the Cursed Moonwane, and the community-named Otto Flesheater. We label each by how well it's confirmed.
How do you beat General Harald?
Bring upgraded gear from The Camp hub and a coordinated team; manage stamina, dodge the telegraphs, survive the enrage, and burst him down together.
What is the Returner Woodling?
A rare creature you locate and defeat to obtain the Soul of Return, the item that lets you extract with your loot. Beta 3 also added fixed-route exits as an alternative.
