Hallowgrove Map Guide

Hallowgrove (also searched as "hollow grove" or "hollowgrave") is Mistfall Hunter's first map and the main stage for the early story. This guide covers its modes and requirements, the key locations, its role in the main quest, and how to extract safely.

Modes & requirements

Mode	Difficulty	Gear requirement	Allowed bags	Revives
Hallowgrove Normal	★★★★★	Quality ≤ Excellent	Novice, Advanced, Pro	1
Hallowgrove Chaos	★★★★★	Value ≥ 1,000 · Quality ≤ Legendary	Advanced, Pro, Elite	1

Normal Hallowgrove is the training-ground map: it keeps a measure of peace, extraction is comparatively easy, and most creatures have not lost control completely. Chaos is a different world — a spreading nightmare where monsters grow violent and trapped souls lose their human form. Don't queue Chaos without the gear value and bag requirement.

Key locations

Verdant Grounds — a landmark within Hallowgrove and the site of the first main quest's investigation (where Pip locates the dying follower).

Divine Anchor — referenced in early lore as the anomaly that leads souls astray; extraction happens "beneath the watch of the Divine Anchor".

Extraction points — unlocked by defeating a Returner Woodling for a Soul of Return, then reaching an exit before the timer ends.

Detailed point-of-interest maps are still being documented by the community at mistfallhunter.wiki — check back as they fill in.

Connection to the main quest

Hallowgrove is where the story starts. After the tutorial you arrive at Winds' Rest camp, and your first mission chain (Voice of Prayer) sends you here: Soekja the white crow guides you to Verdant Grounds, where you meet the Woodling Pip and find a follower who has lost his life to the Divine Anchor's anomaly. You bring back a damaged bell to Dew, and the investigation continues across later chapters.

Hallowgrove is also the map you must clear once solo to unlock the friend system — complete a run (speak with Pip, then extract) and crossplay parties become available from the camp.

Extraction tips

Learn the map in Normal first. Chaos requires 1,000+ equipment value; don't waste good gear learning layouts.

Find the Returner Woodling early. The Soul of Return is your ticket out — the longer you wait, the more players compete for it.

Watch the timer. Overstaying is the #1 cause of lost loot on this map.

Play high ground. The forest has verticality; ranged classes (Blackarrow, Sorcerer) dominate from elevated spots.

Expect stealth ambushes. Solo Hallowgrove is full of Shadowstrix players hunting extract routes.
