Each map holds one Mist Lord and two bosses. How to prepare, why red anger attacks break your block, and why a boss fight is really a PvP decision.
The short answer
Mistfall Hunter bosses are one Mist Lord plus two per map: Sálmar the Cursed Moonwane, Otto the Flesheater and General Harald. They guard Holy weapons, and red anger attacks ignore blocks.

Blocking them
Naming a boss is not documenting one, and every named boss on this site now has a page except these. Each row says what is actually established about one and what would have to be published for a page to follow — which is a more useful thing to know than that we have not written one.
Checked on 11 August 2026 against the guides, wikis and databases that cover each. “Missing” is deliberately specific rather than a general disclaimer: it is the bar a future source has to clear, and stating it that way is what emptied the entry that used to sit above these two — General Harald’s, whose blocking problem was a health figure quoted at three different values, and which resolved once the underlying table was found rather than the numbers averaged.
Boss pages
These are the hardest PvE encounters in a run and they guard the most valuable loot, including Holy weapons which drop from map bosses with exclusive gameplay affixes. They also have multiple phases — expect an enrage — and they hit hard enough to remove around half your health in a single attack if you are undergeared.
The most important defensive rule in the game. Elite enemies have red anger attacks that punch straight through a shield block. Over-relying on your block against them will kill you. Knowing when to hold ground versus roll away is the actual skill check, and a small number of abilities — the Withered Knight’s parry, for example — can absorb even these.
The mechanically grounded pattern is to absorb a telegraphed heavy in your defensive stance, then swap to your damage stance to cash in the stagger window. Ranged classes solve the same problem with spacing instead — maintaining distance to cycle high-damage spells or charged shots without ever entering the punish range.
Boss arenas are noisy and everyone on the map knows what the noise means. Before you start, check that you have an extraction option nearby and decide in advance whether you will finish the fight or leave if another squad arrives. In a trio, assign someone to watch the entry paths rather than adding a third damage dealer.
Bellring Games has named all three launch bosses on its own YouTube channel, each with a Boss Reveal: Sálmar, the Cursed Moonwane, Otto, the Flesheater, and General Harald. All three now have pages, and they are deliberately not the same kind of page — each carries exactly what its sourcing supports, and the difference is stated on the page rather than papered over.
| Boss | Page | What its sourcing supports |
|---|---|---|
| Sálmar, the Cursed Moonwane | /bosses/salmar/ | A full moveset — both phases, move by move, from the one published solo guide |
| Otto, the Flesheater | /bosses/otto-the-flesheater/ | Seven named attacks with tells, from a media battle guide plus the reveal’s own captions |
| General Harald | /bosses/general-harald/ | No moveset — nobody has described one. Activation, per-mode health, sight radii and drop ranges, datamined and quoted as such |
Sálmar, the Cursed Moonwane
Otto, the Flesheater
General Harald
A moveset for Harald, phase timings for anyone, and drop rates rather than drop ranges. The gap narrowed twice this week — Otto gained a full moveset and Harald gained a datamined profile — so what is left is smaller and more specific than it was, and none of it will be filled with invented numbers. The ledger below names the bosses that still have no page at all, and what each one is missing.
