The Mines are Fields of Mistria's main dungeon, sitting north of the Museum in The Narrows and opening up after the "Unlocking the Mines" quest. Inside you will find 60 floors packed with ore nodes, monsters to fight, and seals that must be broken with Sealing Scrolls, while community reports describe a newer update that added void-themed floors 61-80. This guide explains how the Fields of Mistria Mines work, covering floor themes, the elevator, every monster and resource, and the materials each seal needs.

Where the Mines Are and How to Unlock Them

The Mines are a location in The Narrows region, positioned directly north of the Museum on the Fields of Mistria map. The entrance stays closed until your character completes the "Unlocking the Mines" quest, which gates the dungeon behind story progress. According to the wiki's history section, the Mines were added to the game in version 0.1.4. Once unlocked, you can return at any time to mine resources, hunt monsters, and push toward the bottom.

How the Mines Work

A trip through the Mines mixes three activities: mining Ore, Stone, and Gems with your pickaxe, fighting monsters with your sword, and smashing breakable objects for Sealing Scrolls. As you descend further, the monsters get stronger and better resources appear, so depth controls both difficulty and reward at the same time. Every few floors the Mines change the region they are themed after, and while a theme is active you can find the same Foraging items, Fishing, and Monsters that spawn in that region. Each floor generates ore nodes plus at least one breakable object, such as rocks, crates, or barrels, that contains a Sealing Scroll.

A Sealing Scroll has two uses: it teleports you back to the mine entrance, or it breaks one of the seals blocking deeper floors. An elevator also lets you fast-travel to any floor you have already reached, with elevator stops unlocking at every tenth floor. Community players confirm the pattern still holds in the newest content, letting you jump straight to floor 60 once you have been there. Together, scroll hoarding and elevator routing form the backbone of any efficient mine run.

All 60 Floors and Their Themes

The Mines contain 60 floors in the base game, with a seal blocking progress every 20 floors. Reaching the bottom of the Mines is a requirement to complete the "Deep Sleep" quest, so completionists cannot skip the descent. The floor themes rotate as you go deeper:

  • Floors 1-20: Normal Mistria theme
  • Floors 21-40: Northern theme
  • Floors 41-60: Island theme

Because each theme mirrors a surface region, the foraging, fishing, and monster pool effectively rotates three times on the way down. A Northern-themed stretch can hand you different drops than an Island-themed one, so plan inventory space before diving deep. The elevator stops at every tenth floor give you natural checkpoints to resupply and repair.

Monsters Found in the Mines

Monsters spawn throughout the Mines and get stronger the deeper you descend, making sword damage and health important for long runs. Themed floors rotate the lineup as well, because a floor themed after a region spawns the same monsters as that region. The wiki lists the following monsters in the Mines:

  • Sprite of Embers
  • Sprite of Wisdom
  • Sprite of Youth
  • Sprite of Zeal
  • Ash Puffer
  • Twinkle Spider
  • Void Crab
  • Boom Bug
  • Mimic

Community reports from the newer void floors add Void Sprites and Void Mimics to the roster. Each 20-floor section consequently feels noticeably different from the last, since themes pull monsters from their matching regions. Fighting monsters is also the path to certain void drops on the deepest floors, according to community players.

Resources: Ores, Gems, and Special Items

Mining covers the other half of a mine run, with ore nodes guaranteed on every floor. Gems and rarer ores show up more often as you descend, matching the rising monster threat around them. The wiki groups Mines resources into ores, gems, and miscellaneous items:

Ores:

  • Stone
  • Copper Ore
  • Iron Ore
  • Silver Ore
  • Gold Ore

Gems:

  • Emerald
  • Ruby
  • Sapphire
  • Opal

Miscellaneous:

  • Void Pearl
  • Void Powder
  • Void Herb
  • Void Stone
  • Sealing Scroll
  • Rockroot

One discrepancy is worth flagging here. The wiki lists the four Void items as general mine resources, yet a community reporter who mined floors 1-60 completely never saw a single Void Pearl there. That player found void items only on floors 61 and above, which matches the void theme reports below, so treat void item drops on floors 1-60 as unconfirmed 待确认.

Seals and Sealing Scrolls Explained

Every 20 floors a seal stops you from descending further, and the three base-game seals are Fire, Water, and Nature themed. To break a seal, collect Sealing Scrolls from breakable objects on mine floors and offer them to the corresponding statue near the seal. The three seals and what breaking them unlocks are:

  • Fire Seal (Floor 20): requires Sealing Scrolls; breaking it unlocks the Deep Woods
  • Water Seal (Floor 40): requires Sealing Scrolls; breaking it opens deeper mine floors
  • Nature Seal (Floor 60): requires Sealing Scrolls; breaking it completes the mine storyline

The wiki does not publish exact Sealing Scroll counts for these three seals. Community figures for seal costs also conflict with each other, as detailed in the void seal section below. Treat every specific scroll total as unconfirmed 待确认.

Floors 61-80 and the Void Seal (Community Reports)

Community reports describe a new patch that added floors 61-80 with a Void theme, extending the dungeon beyond the classic 60 floors. The guide's author reports that the Void Seal at floor 80 needs 5 each of Void Pearl, Void Powder, Void Herb, and Void Stone instead of regular Sealing Scrolls, with those items dropping from mining void nodes and defeating void monsters on floors 61-80. Another commenter instead claims the fourth seal costs 20 Sealing Scrolls and that materials double for each seal after that, so the exact floor-80 requirement is disputed 待确认. After breaking the Void Seal, the quest "Deeper Sleep" reportedly unlocks and continues the story.

Tips for Exploring the Mines

Community players who cleared the newer floors shared habits that work just as well on floors 1-60. The common thread is preparation, with scrolls banked in advance and exits planned before health gets dangerous. Their advice boils down to the following points:

  • Hoard Sealing Scrolls from barrels and crates as you descend instead of spending them on casual warps.
  • Ride the elevator, which unlocks a stop at every tenth floor, to resume deep runs without replaying early floors.
  • Keep teleport scrolls in your inventory, because community reports say dying on floors 61-80 costs you some gold; warping out at low health is safer.
  • Farm void nodes and void monsters on floors 61-80 to gather the four void items needed for the floor 80 seal.
