The enemies are tough and will most often see the player before the player sees them. It is oppressive, being quite difficult to navigate, often to the point of disorientation. This biome is currently the final one in the game's progression. Wisplights and placeable Wisp torches can be used to clear out the permeating mist, but both require Yagluth to be defeated.

Its coastline is equally treacherous, greeting the longship with sheer cliffs, steep wharfs, and rocky sandbars. Larger, glowing Yggdrasil roots can be found lining the ground, often visible through the mist. It is full of valleys, dales, ravines, and even plateaus punctuated by gargantuan black crags that often peek over the mist.

The Mistlands is a jagged mountainous biome covered in a perpetual mist that hangs over its entirety and makes it difficult to see inside.
