Shape of Dreams: How to Unlock Mist’s Alternate Abilities

Unlocking her abilities were a challenge, so just sharing how I did it.

Defeat any elemental 75 times as Mist

Honestly just keep playing the game. These guys spawn in act 2. Pretty straight forward. I might update this guide with pictures of them later.

Defeat 70 enemies without taking damage as Mist

This is ideally done while attempting to get Astrid’s Masterpiece – Prioritè. Having access to Flèche along with the Lightning Breath perk also helps a ton, since you would be teleporting than dashing and that makes it a lot safer.

I did it while attempting Astrid’s Masterpiece – Prioritè. You can use the same loadout.

Defeat Belphomet within 2 minutes of starting an adventure as Mist

IMPORTANT!! Do this at the lowest difficulty, makes your life a lot easier

Okay this is a tiny bit RNG dependent but not too much. I was able to consistently get ~2m10s finish and got it in my 5th turn with a 1m32s finish.

I recommend following this loadout. This is not min maxed but I found success with it.

Light as a feather: Moving fast so we dont waste any time

Second Wind: So we dont have to waste time trying to dodge the boss’s attack. We can pretty much just go ham and nuke him while tanking everything. In my attempts Ive never had to trigger it but its nice to have

Intersecting Memories: Having a free memory at start is always nice

Burning Bloodlust, Astrid’s Smithing, Aggressive Stance, Strike the Weakness!, Duelist’s Focus: All of these help us boost out attack and nuke enemies

Lightning Breath: Helps with the Parry challenge and also helps is stay above 90% health so we can trigger our perks easier

Coup de Grâce: A flat damage boost, helps with the boss and clearing other mobs. Just make sure your adjust your playstyle a bit. Hit. Walk back. Hit.

This is the loadout I did it with. Having the extra dash does help a tiny bit with the speedrun but definitely not a necessity.
