Maze scaling#

In Deep into the Dark Mist the level comes from the maze floor, not from the placement (details).

Hidden mechanics#

  • Scaling. Level 1 / 25 / 55 / 68 in the reference placement for journeys 1-4 (fixed per placement, rising with each New Game Plus journey); HP goes from 780 to 3438 (x4.4) and Physical attack from 136 to 776 by journey 4. Poise and Resilience never scale; the rule is in How enemy stats are built.
  • Dark Mist levels. Its 16 placements in the Dark Mist scenes (stories 101-105) take their level from your hero, not from the table (Dark Mist enemies scale with your hero). The table level is 1-11 in journey 1 and 1 in journeys 2-4, so from journey 2 on the level is your Altar Level + 11.
  • Body flags. It cannot be backstabbed (HeroData HitBackstab = 0, see Backstab).
  • Easy AI. 2 of its 2 chapter placements use AI level 2 (Easy) instead of 1 (Normal); the effect is described in AI and senses.
  • Status effects. Its moves can apply: Poison (see Status effects).
  • Per-placement bonuses. StoryMonsterProperty adds flat extras (see How enemy stats are built): CritRate +1 in 2 placements.
  • First-kill drop. 2 placements roll a different drop list the first time they are killed (see Enemies#Drops): quest 12203 (2 placements; only the first one killed uses the special list).

See How to read the enemy pages for what the sections mean and How enemy stats are built for the stat rules.
