Fields Of Mistria 1.0 – All Monsters And Drops

All of Fields Of Mistria’s combat takes place in The Mines, just up from The Narrows. There’s a lot more to mining than fighting enemies–check out our Fields Of Mistria mining guide for more details–but some of the best resource drops can only be found after defeating a monster. You’ll also need some of these monster-specific resources to advance further into The Mines as the story progresses, so make sure you keep one of everything back at the farm until you’re sure you don’t need it, as hunting for specific enemies after the fact can be tedious.

Each biome has a different roster of creatures, so we’ve split the list that way. Each monster will also have a different method for fighting it, so be sure to check out our strategy tips below. One to watch is the Mimics, which will only reward the player with the listed drops when “fed” by throwing an item into their mouths before they attack.

Mimics drop better rewards the deeper you are in the caverns.
