Mistfall Hunter Launches Season 2

It also arrives with a sweeping set of changes shaped directly by Season 1 player feedback: new servers, balance adjustments, a bigger loot economy, no more forging fees, and season tasks that are far easier to finish, solo or in a squad.m

Quote from the Bellring Games team

“Season 2 is about turning the world against our Gyldhunters in new ways, and giving them more reason to dive back in. We heard Season 1 feedback loud and clear: you wanted a smoother climb, fairer rewards, and a more stable connection. Season 2 delivers on all three, and then sets the Hallowgrove on fire,” said Haoliang Zhang, Game Director of Mistfall Hunter, Bellring Games.

WHAT’S NEW IN SEASON 2

The Hallowgrove Burns – Ordeal of Flames

Each match, flames engulf a random part of the map—the Wildfire Forbidden Zone, a new hazard that changes how Gyldhunters move, fight, and loot.

• Wildfire Forbidden Zone: time spent in the new terrain continuously accumulate Infernal Flame, losing health while gaining increased damage. Once it fills, hunters enter the Burning state, steadily losing health while dealing increased damage.
• Cool down: Gyldhunters can drink soothing elixir to keep the Burning state under control.
• New fire monster: a new fire-aligned creature joins the hunt, tied to the production of a new crafted item, Soulcoal.
• Oath Tomb: go to the Oath Tomb in the Wildfire Forbidden Zone, defeat the Preacher of the Sun Follower to collect the Sacred Branch

Face the Preacher of the Sun

Collect the Sacred Branch and travel to the Oath Altar to challenge the Preacher of the Sun. Season 2 also adds a new main questline: by completing the season missions, Gyldhunters will explore the past of the Preacher of the Sun, Lars, and uncover the truth behind the disaster.

Blackarrow’s Second School: the Javelin

• Near and far: switch between close-range and long-range attacks to suit the moment.
• Divine Infusion mode: infuse the javelin with divine power for a self-aiming throw.

New Progression, New Looks, New Loot

• Soul Brand: an all-new Season 2 progression system for developing your hunter through the season.
• Shrine of Honor: a new appearance system for showing off your achievements.
• New valuables: fresh high-value loot to hunt for, extract, and cash in.

BUILT ON SEASON 1 FEEDBACK

Alongside the new content, Season 2 addresses the most frequent Season 1 issues raised by the community.

Performance and servers

• Engine component and resource optimization.
• Asia servers are moving to Hong Kong for better East Asian latency, with a new US West server added for western North America.
• A new global network acceleration system to fix inefficient routing and unstable connections, reducing latency for players worldwide.

Balance

• Every class is also getting skill and gameplay adjustments for better balance and more ways to play.
• A new damage falloff mechanic to reduce the damage of certain skills when used repeatedly by characters of the same class.
• New tactical items to help less mobile classes chase down enemies.

A bigger payout for every Gyldhunter

• More loot: additional containers on every map, and a higher chance for all containers and monsters to drop high-value items.
• Better combat packs: the affix combinations on combat packs have been reworked to be more practical, and to make a hunting party’s income more stable and reliable.
• Forging: forging fees are cancelled, and expected forging returns are increased.

Lighter season tasks, bigger rewards

• The first three chapters of the Main Task no longer need to be completed in a single run or on one life, and no longer require Chaos or Disaster mode.
• Task counting now distinguishes between solo and three-player modes, improving the solo experience.
• All item turn-in quests have been converted to side quests.
• Complete the Chapter 2 Main Tasks to earn the S2 Pip’s Rare Pouch. Complete the Chapter 3 and 4 Main Tasks to earn the season-limited appearance Bell- Path of Thorns and Escape Effects- Path of Thorns
• Complete Side Missions for a large haul of season-limited skins, including Holy Material Selection Chest and Premium Ship Cosmetic- Dawnchaser.

Less grind for season-exclusive gameplay and camp upgrades

• Dedicated exchange store: Season 2’s exclusive gameplay gets its own exchange store, with a lower overall burden so core rewards are easier to claim.
• Camp upgrades: special containers now drop non-tradable fragments of the key materials used to upgrade your camp. Collect the fragments and exchange them for key materials. Overall key material output is up, and the process is smoother.

Quality of life

• New gem warehouse, so gems no longer take up regular storage.
• One-click removal of all gems in the backpack.
• Starter equipment can now be destroyed directly after one-click assembly at the assembly table.
• New setting to turn off the Triumph Drink animation.

More Activities and Gameplay
