Mistfall Hunter beginners guide - everything you need to know to survive and extract from your first raid. It's out now and on Game Pass, and if you've just downloaded it, your first hour is going to be rough: this is an extraction game, so you keep only what you physically escape with, and dying means losing all of it. Most new players lose their first few runs simply because nobody explained the rules — so here they are.
In this Mistfall Hunter guide: the solo training run you should do first, how to gear up and what Cataclysm difficulty actually requires, how to read the map and build an extraction plan before you move (the #1 beginner mistake), monster tiers and when it's smarter to skip a fight, the combat systems that catch everyone out — energy vs dodge energy, and the free breakaway escape when you're staggered — plus the Gyldenmist timer that's quietly counting down your whole run.
Then the part everyone gets stuck on: how to actually extract. Full breakdown of Hallowgrove (Returning Chime, Soul Trees, Smuggler Woodlings) and Brandrgarde (Returner Woodlings, the Soul of Return, and why Soul Trees wither), what you keep when you die (your keychain and Pip's Pouch), and how to spend your loot afterwards. Which class should you play? That's in my full class guide.
How did your first extraction go, and which region are you grinding? Let me hear it in the comments.
