I am not using a shield.. I think the idea that you HAVE to use a shield to parry or else you are dead is one of the concepts about this game I strongly dislike. So I have no issues with the fact that I have no "skill" in parry blocking.. because I'm not even trying.. regardless 3 hits from anything in this game shouldn't kill me if I am in top tier gear.

mistlands is tough.. and should be so.. i feel this is the end game area. As all the gear you get is the high end. you have to take things slow in the infested mines. one room at a time.
I do this with about 160 hp. I go 2 life foods and 1 stam always. the bugs are really tough, just have to get used to em. keep the fight on vikings.

Having Bonemass up helps if you can get it off, but yeah 2*s are gonna ruin your day in mistlands.

I ran into a 2* soldier once and immediately scurried up a cliff and shot it with arrows until it was dead. No way I was taking that thing on mano-a-mano.

This is when you pop bonemass and pull out himmin afl. They don't have a lot of health. But if you get hit once...your dead because of the stagger they give you.

Also, I died to a 2* seeker last week but I was 200+ hp and it was still able to 2 shot me. Sooo yea......

You didn't have good enough health foods it seems. They absolutely suck though, i agree, i've died twice in mistlands, both against them.

Being ambushed happens, I've had it happen many times and have learned to take precautions against that.

You never want to give the enemy the advantage of surprise if you can help it, 2 stars are going to slap you hard in Mistlands no matter what.
Always listen/observe before opening/breaking the next door. With practice you can avoid most or all ambush deaths.

I got ambushed in Mistland's the other day by around 6 (two 1 stars) seekers and a soldier due to POIs being near eachother. Even with crappy food and mage armor, I could overcome them by not panicking and using stamina potions.

Health is way too low. Blocking and weapons based on health. RIP. You saving the good food for corpse runs?

This is the best food I have we JUST started mistlands.. I have lox pie, blood pudding and fish wraps.. I'd love to hear the more superior food y'all had when you first got to the Mistlands..

I think the food started out good but it had degraded. You will want to eat more as soon as it starts blinking. I know, go through food fast but it beats dying. You should be at hp 250, not 165... and that means your stam is also degraded.

250 hp is 3 health foods, 2 high quality health foods is good enough, lox pie, serpent stew and blood pudding is more than enough, you should have around 200 hp.

I would suggest using bonemass and popping it as soon as you seen any 2 star coming at you in the mistlands.

This is the way. Train yourself to pop that buff anytime you see anything that looks difficult, like 2 one star's at once, or even 4 regular seekers, or really any situation that has you feeling like you might be in trouble. My other 2 tips for mistlands would be to always re-up your food as soon as possible to keep your stats up high, and always keep that rested bonus up. You can build a fireplace and sit next to it pretty much anytime to get an 8 minute rest bonus if yours ever wears off or gets low.
