My wife and I ventured into the Mistlands for the first time yesterday and wound up being chased out by a rampaging 1-star insectoid/rock creature. This thing was insanely fast and incredibly pissed. It persued us well out of the Mistlands, through the Black Forest (where we had to constantly weave through trees and chug stamina potions to keep going), and all the way to our nearby temporary plains portal, where we escaped back to our base.
That portal was just on the shore near our boat, a great distance south. What is the likelihood that the creature will still be present if we return through that portal? Based on our experience with it, I suspect it will effortlessly kill us before we’ve even fully loaded into the other side.
If it’s still there, we’re probably better off taking another boat south and luring the creature away from our portal, or just abandoning that portal entirely.
Whatever that thing was it made my heart beat through my chest. It felt good to be afraid of something again.
That’s the situation my wife and I last logged off with. Got killed a ways in, away from our portal, by a group of seekers. 2-star, 1-star, and one of two regular ones. Logged off in a rage and have no idea how we’re going to manage that recovery with our spare Mountains-tier gear. Going to have to run it naked with a wisp and try to bait them away until one of us can secure their things.
Funnily enough that’ll probably work out ok. I can’t verify but it seems the enemies have as hard a time seeing through the mist as you do if you don’t have a whisp equipped.
Also don’t build a base on the mist…I had a pretty good one but… Those goddamn gjall. It doesn’t matter how strong,.or how elaborate you defenses when they can just drop legions of ticks on your top floor
