Mistfall Hunter has launched its second season, Fires of the Past, and Hallowgrove is having a particularly bad day. Bellring Games’ dark-fantasy extraction ARPG now has hazardous Wildfire Zones, a new weapon archetype and a substantial set of changes aimed at the frustrations players raised during Season 1.
The new Ordeal of Flames gameplay sends hunters into areas where staying too long builds Heat. Let that reach its limit and the consequences include heavy damage and an ongoing burning state, so this is not somewhere to stop and admire your inventory. Soothing Elixirs help manage the danger, while richer loot gives you a reason to risk the flames in the first place.
Blackarrow players also gain the Javelin, a second weapon archetype that combines ranged throws with close-quarters attacks. Divine Infusion adds another layer, with the right talent allowing the weapon to aim automatically at targets near your reticle. It gives the class something different to do when an enemy decides archery would be much less effective from six inches away.
Soul Brand provides a new seasonal progression system, while the Shrine of Honor lets players display achievements. Beyond the new toys, the update increases loot opportunities, removes forging fees and eases several main-task requirements. Storage gets attention too, including a dedicated gem warehouse and one-click gem removal.
There is an important timing detail in the official update notes: the Duel of the Sacred Tree encounter opens on 16 November at 2am UK time. Season 2 is live now, but that particular challenge is not available on day one.
The season also includes class balance changes and network improvements, with a new US West server among the announced adjustments. You can find Mistfall Hunter on Steam and read the full notes before heading back into the fog. The world remains thoroughly unpleasant, but at least your gems no longer need to occupy half the warehouse.
