Mistfall Hunter Abyssal Cipher: What It Actually Gives

The Abyssal Cipher deciphers at camp from level 5 and is consumed on use. The precise reward tables circulating for it are not published by Bellring Games, and Sigrid's Ripple Gem bonus does not apply to it.

Short answer

It deciphers into currency at camp, it is consumed on use, and no NPC choice improves it — Sigrid's Ripple Gem is an Ashen Cipher bonus. Its exact reward table has never been published, so treat any page quoting you percentages for it as unsourced.

How you get it
From in-game mail, alongside the Ashen Cipher, in the second-wave launch reward announced on 1 August 2026.

  • UnverifiedEvery percentage circulating for this item.

    The reward table, item pool and drop odds are not officially published. A percentage without a named source is the whole review.

§01

What is established

The mechanics are not in dispute and they are simple. Deciphering appears on camp NPCs once you reach level 5. Any of the seven — Soekja, Dew, Pip, Dramm, Cazarro, Sigrid or Merimo — will open it. The result is currency, and the cipher is consumed when you accept, so accept only when you are ready to spend it. Unlike the Ashen Cipher there is no NPC-specific bonus to chase, which makes the decision genuinely free.

§02

The odds table you have probably seen is not official

A reward table for deciphering circulates widely, quoted to four decimal places: 90.7761% for 450 Gyldenblod at the common end, descending to 0.002% for a Lifetime Season Pass. It is worth being precise about the problem. That table is not wrong because we tested it and got different results — it is unverified because Bellring Games has published no drop rates for this item at all, and a figure carried to four decimals with no publisher behind it is a presentation of confidence rather than a measurement.

  • The most careful write-up in this niche says so directly: the reward table, item pool and drop odds are not officially published, so fixed-rate claims are unverified.
  • The rates that are officially published for this game appear in announcements. There is no announcement carrying cipher odds.
  • If a page shows you a percentage without naming where it came from, that is the whole review.
§03

Where more come from once the mail is gone

The mail copy is a one-off, but ciphers are a normal part of the loot table, so this is not an item you get one shot at forever. Securing them matters more than finding them: a cipher in your ordinary bag is lost to whoever kills you, which is why Pip's pouch exists.

  • Locked chests, which are the most reliable placed source.
  • Marked enemies — the ones carrying a purple brand — and the containers they guard.
  • Unidentified items: every one of them has a chance to resolve into a cipher.
