This page names everything in the Mistlands. For a spoiler-free version that tracks what you've done, use the planner.
What to do after Yagluth: the Mistlands
A foggy maze of cliffs and giant bones. Light the way first. The Dvergr are friendly until you break into their things.
What to do in the Mistlands
Build a Wisp Fountain and a Wisplight
Build the fountain from a Torn Spirit at the Stonecutter; wisps gather around it at night. A Wisplight pushes back the mist.
Craft a Black Metal Pickaxe
Cut Yggdrasil shoots with a Black Metal Axe, then make the pickaxe. Only it can mine the giant bones for Black Marble and Soft Tissue.
Loot Infested Mines for Black Cores
Every new station here needs 5 cores. Take the Sealbreaker Fragments you find too.
Get Sap with a Dvergr Extractor
Break open a long Dvergr crate for a Dvergr Extractor (the Dvergr nearby will turn on you), build a Sap Extractor on an Ancient Root, and collect the Sap. The extractor can't go through portals.
Build the Black Forge and Eitr Refinery
The refinery costs Sap to build and runs on it, turning Soft Tissue into Refined Eitr. The Black Forge makes Mistlands weapons and armour.
Build a Galdr Table
It makes eitr-weave robes, staffs, the Feather Cape and the Sealbreaker. To cast spells, eat food with eitr, like Seeker Aspic (it needs the Mortar and Pestle on your Cauldron).
Craft Carapace armour and a Mistwalker
Seekers drop Carapace and hares drop Scale Hide. The Mistwalker sword also lights the mist.

Seeker
200 health
Alternates between flying and landing, and the landing is your opening. Ordinary weapons bite less here than elsewhere, so lean on whatever else you have.

Seeker Soldier
1500 health
Huge, armoured at the front, and slow to turn. Get behind it and stay there: its back is the soft end.

Gjall
1500 health
Floats overhead and drops fire on you, and fire barely bothers it in return. Standing right underneath stops the spit — step out again before it shakes.

Dvergr Rogue
350 health · out by day
They leave you alone unless you hit them or break something inside their wards, and they'll happily fight the seekers for you. Their camps make a safe place to stand.

Dvergr Mage
350 health · in Dvergr camps
The ones in robes throw fire, ice, or heal and summon. Kill the healer first — it can put back more than you take off.

Hare
10 health
Harmless and quick. Its meat and hide sink, so don't shoot one standing over water.

Seeker Brood
20 health · in Infested Mines
Bursts out of eggs in threes and fours. Clear the room before you break an egg, and sweep them rather than picking them off.

How to beat The Queen
Summoning: A Vegvisir in an Infested Mine marks the Infested Citadel. Open it with a Sealbreaker made from 9 fragments: she's already waiting inside.
The fight: Arrows and spears do half damage. Drink Poison Resistance Mead, clear the small Seekers with area attacks, and fall back to the covered entrance to heal. She drops Majestic Carapace, which your Artisan Table will want.
