Spoiler‑light maze solution. The Mist loops until you use Needolin by white butterflies; follow the direction they fly to escape toward Bilewater.
Overview
The Mist is a looping, mapless maze off Sinner’s Road. Rooms repeat until you discover the trick: play Needolin beside fluttering white butterflies and take the exit they indicate. Choosing wrong resets you. Escaping lands you in Bilewater’s Exhaust Organ.
Quick Facts
- Entry: Left/west side of Sinner’s Road.
- Mechanic: Play Needolin near butterfly clusters; they fly toward the correct exit.
- Reset: Taking any other exit loops you back.
- Destination: Bilewater — Exhaust Organ with a nearby bench.
Requirements & Prep
- Ability: Needolin (learned after defeating Widow in Bellhart).
- Input: Hold Y (Xbox) / Triangle (PlayStation) / X (Switch) / D (PC default) to play.
- Expect no map: The Mist won’t appear on parchment; don’t try to map it.
Step‑by‑Step Walkthrough
- Enter The Mist from the left side of Sinner’s Road. You’ll see fog, muted color, and repeating layouts.
- Find butterflies in each room. Stand by the white cluster and play Needolin; after a brief pause, they fly toward the correct exit.
- Follow their direction. If a room repeats, you took a wrong door—backtrack to the last butterflies, replay Needolin, and choose the indicated exit.
- Exit to Bilewater — Exhaust Organ. Grab the left‑side bench to stabilize; other benches may need later movement.
After The Mist
- Hazards: Exhaust Organ features air‑vent obstacles and set‑piece platforming.
- Optional boss: Solving The Mist path can lead to the Phantom boss arena within Exhaust Organ.
Troubleshooting
- Butterflies not reacting? Hold the Needolin note for a moment; reaction is slightly delayed.
- Keep looping? You likely missed the indicated door. Re‑check the last screen’s butterflies and follow exactly.
- Can’t find the entrance? Scout the left/west stretches of Sinner’s Road.
FAQ
- Is there a map? No—The Mist is a logic maze; use Needolin + butterflies.
- Where is the entrance? On the left side of Sinner’s Road.
- Don’t have Needolin? Defeat Widow in Bellhart first.
