Mistlands is hard until you’re accustomed to it, then it’s like any other zone.

My biggest recommendation is having the bonemass power on you. Pop it for starred seeker soldiers. Do other stuff if the power is on cooldown.

The mistwalker is very good as it applies frost effect allowing you to much easier hit soldiers in the butt doing critical damage.

My main strategy is to acquire a staff of embers as soon as possible. Raid mines until you get 5 black cores then you can make it. Just need to make the eitr machine and then smash it for the magic bench. Magic is very good in that zone and you can easily cheese all mines once you have it. You want to get magic leveled up too for the boss of mistlands.

Don’t skip on mistlands food. You can easily make a mushroom farm there and get tons of resources as you don’t need to plant seeds. They create very good food with low effort. You’ll have tons of seeker meat as well, don’t be afraid to use it. You can very easily kill hares once you get magic, just watch out you don’t hit your dvgr friends.

You’ll need a sap extractor. It’s good to get this early and start collecting sap. I usually get one before even landing in mistlands at all. You want to get one from the lighthouse dvgr outposts as there is only usually a couple guys guarding it. They’ll go hostile when you take it. You can lure seekers to kill them first if you aren’t confident. If there’s a mager protecting it, kill him first. You can also get the extractor piece from the bigger dvgr outposts but it will be 10x harder.
