Key takeaways
- On August 6, 2026, Mistfall Hunter received an update without planned downtime.
- Dried Flower Knots now drop after fights against the Mist Lords in Einherjar.
- Bellring Games is still investigating intermittent latency issues.
- A Solo mode for Brandrgarde is planned for Normal and Cataclysm in mid-Season 1, in September 2026.
Dried Flower Knots drop after fights against the Mist Lords in Einherjar mode. The reward gives players another objective during the extraction game's most demanding PvPvE expeditions.
The update and server status are separate issues
Bellring Games deployed a server update on August 7 without announcing a service interruption. It fixes an issue involving the cancellation of the Pavois and Hallebarde charge, which incorrectly activated the Focused affix's speed bonus.
The studio has also acknowledged episodes of intermittent latency and is continuing its investigation. The note provides no real-time status page and does not guarantee that every slowdown will disappear immediately.
An inability to connect therefore does not prove that general maintenance is underway. It may instead be linked to an outdated client, a regional incident or the latency issue still under investigation.
What changed on August 6
The fix was scheduled to deploy at 9 a.m. UTC without planned downtime. Bellring Games then asked players to update the client through the relevant store. If the game remains stuck on an older version, restarting the download is the next step.
Dried Flower Knots are now available in Einherjar. Challenges against the Mist Lords also offer an increased chance of obtaining sacred weapons or sacred forging materials.
Blackarrow receives fixes for uncharged shots and movement. For the Withered Knight, the energy cost of Sprinting Slash and Withering Mark is reduced. Certain skills should no longer catch on obstacles or launch the character into the air.
The Mercenary should no longer become stuck in certain situations while using a sword and shield. The Sorcerer receives a fix for Meteor Charm when charged in the Stardust style.
Console stability and menus receive fixes too
The note fixes a crash related to the friends list on PS5 and Xbox, as well as several stacking issues, gem affixes and combat bag display problems.
In Brandrgarde, the description of the bags allowed in Cataclysm mode has been corrected. Weekly task reset times are consistent again, and loot recovered from a rival should no longer appear bound to the character.
Controllers also receive several adjustments. Equipment can be removed from the loadout in the relevant situations. Gem selections in the auction house and training room settings should work with the directional pad.
During an extraction, these errors can cost several minutes of progress. A crash, incorrectly assigned item or blocked menu therefore directly affects the loot that is kept.
Intermittent latency is still unresolved
Bellring Games links the latency to the complexity of the environments. The studio is addressing the causes case by case and plans further fixes.
The August 7 communication also mentions chat moderation and the fight against cheating. Nearly thirty advertising accounts were banned, and a blocking feature is due to arrive in a future client update.
The recent note does not promise that all reconnection failures have been resolved. A previous console fix had already addressed some cases, so each incident must be distinguished from the overall server status.
A practical patch for Einherjar expeditions
The patch strengthens Mistfall Hunter's current gameplay loop. Mist Lord rewards add another objective in Einherjar, while the fixes cover classes, menus, items and console stability. In the editorial view, the changes improve gameplay conditions without redesigning the extraction system. The August 7 communication also confirms that latency remains a separate work in progress.
The effect should be most noticeable in high-risk matches. Dried Flower Knots give players a reason to target the Mist Lords, and the fixes reduce several issues that could interrupt an expedition. Latency may still affect an extraction, however, so testing the connection with limited equipment remains advisable before risking the most valuable resources.
Check the client before returning to Einherjar
First, check that the client has downloaded the August 6 fix. Fully close the game, restart the store and check the installed version.
If latency persists, avoid an extraction with your most valuable equipment. The studio still acknowledges these slowdowns.
To test the new content, launch Einherjar and target the Mist Lords. The official August 7 post remains the reference for server information.
The roadmap also plans a Solo mode for Brandrgarde on Normal and Cataclysm difficulties in the middle of Season 1, in September. The exact date has not been announced. Follow the game's news in the news section and our analysis in our gaming articles.
Season 1 still has two major additions ahead
The next client update is expected to launch Soul Harvest and Season Tasks. Bellring Games still needs to specify their date, rewards and any class adjustments.
Brandrgarde's Solo mode is planned for the middle of Season 1, in September. The studio warns that two new queues could fragment matchmaking, so the wait will also depend on the number of players available in each queue.
Several details are still open
- Will intermittent latency decrease after the next updates? It will be necessary to observe whether the problem is related to the launch or to a longer-term network project.
- Will Brandrgarde's Solo mode have specific balancing rules? This detail will affect matches in Normal and Cataclysm.
- When will Soul Harvest and Season Tasks become available? The date will allow players to plan their resources and sessions.
This update adds a concrete reward and reduces several bugs. Latency remains the main uncertainty ahead of the rest of Season 1.
