Mistfall Hunter Ciphers Guide — Abyssal, Ashen, Echo & Elder Edict
✔ Last checked: 2026-08-04
Ciphers are Mistfall Hunter’s collect-and-decode loot layer — Abyssal, Ashen, Echo and Elder Edict are the types players ask about most, and “what do I do with these” is the right question. Here’s what’s solid, what’s community-reported, and what we’re still pinning down. This page is honest about the difference.
What’s confirmed
- Ciphers drop during runs and feed a deciphering system (“how to decipher” is a top search for a reason — the game explains it quietly).
- Multiple named tiers/types circulate in community usage: Abyssal, Ashen, Echo, Elder Edict.
- Like everything you carry, ciphers ride the full-loot rule: an unextracted cipher is a donation waiting to happen. Bank them by extracting — see the beginner guide.
What we’re verifying right now
| Question | Status |
|---|---|
| Exact reward table per cipher type | 🔄 testing across patches |
| Where each type drops most | 🔄 collecting run data |
| Whether types combine or convert | 🔄 unconfirmed — treat videos claiming this as unverified |
We’d rather show you an honest table than an invented one — the date badge above tells you when this was last touched.
Practical guidance meanwhile
- Extract them. Whatever the tables turn out to be, a cipher in the bank beats one in the mist.
- Don’t buy “cipher secrets” content without dates. Launch-week misinformation loves systems like this.
- Elder Edict ciphers draw the most player attention — if any type is worth a dedicated bag slot on faith, community behavior says it’s that one. (Reported, not verified.)

FAQ
What do you do with ciphers in Mistfall Hunter?
Ciphers are collectible items tied to the game's deciphering system — you accumulate them in runs and process ('decipher') them for rewards. Exact per-type rewards are being verified against the current patch.
What types of ciphers are there?
Community-documented types include Abyssal, Ashen, Echo and Elder Edict ciphers — the names players search most. We're confirming the full list and rarity order in-game.
Should I sell or keep ciphers?
Until the reward tables are fully verified, the safe rule from the community is: don't vendor ciphers impulsively — deciphering is their purpose. Details on this page as we confirm them.
