Mistfall Hunter is the new co-op extraction game on the block, adding a Souls spin to the solidified formula. Interestingly, you won’t be able to queue with friends immediately; you’ll need to jump through a few hoops.
Let’s speed through that process and go over how to unlock the team feature in Mistfall Hunter!
Clear the Tutorial
First things first, create your character and survive your initial resurrection. You’ll need to complete the entire tutorial on your first character, moving step by step as you’re taught the basic mechanics. Once you drop down to fight the giant troll, you may notice you’re dealing practically no damage.
Don’t worry, you’re meant to lose this fight. Eventually, the troll stuns you to setup a one-shot, where you’ll be taught the Mod of the Dead-esque revive mechanic. Important to note, you only get that chance to rez yourself if you’re killed by a monster NPC. Losing to a player will kill you permanently.
Move on and best the NPC Gyldhunter to complete the tutorial and arrive in the camp, that’s step one!
Complete Your First Expedition
If you attempt to queue into a Trios match from here, you’ll notice that the option is totally locked. From here, you’ll need to complete your first expedition into Hallowgrove. It doesn’t matter if you successfully extract or not, you just have to do the expedition.
This is where you can put some of what you’ve learned into practice, avoiding enemies during their red attacks, practicing your class’s strings, and testing your mettle against other players. For a few early tips, try and hunt down chests on the map for solid loot as early as you can.
Beware, these chests are marked for all players, so you’re more likely to get into fights while hunting for them. Alternatively, the blue rectangle side quests grant limited-time objectives that can highroll into seriously worthwhile loot, both gear and camp resources.
It’s all about making good active use of your time, so keep moving and keep focused and you’ll be AOK!
Toggle Trios On
Once you return, you’ll be able to swap your queue mode from Solo to Trios. Congrats, snag some friends and put together a team as you level and improve your characters! There are some objectives you won’t be able to handle, even with a team, until you’re stronger.
Keep an eye on your Skills and Talents as well, as certain ones actually behave differently in Trios and Solo play. Information is the first step after all, and you don’t want to get caught with your pants down.
Now that you’ve got the Team Features unlocked, why not check out some of our build guides on the different classes in Mistfall Hunter? Mistfall Hunter is a sometimes choppy but very fun first-time showing from Bellring Games, and I’m very excited to see where they go with it!
