Freythorn is an abandoned village that can be accessed from The Hunting Grounds. You'll be led to this place by Finn if you're doing the Ominous Altars side quest.
This area is filled with fast enemies that can overwhelm you with numbers if you don't take them out fast enough. Add to that the Cultist Witches that throw projectiles that explode once they've been planted on the ground. When dealing with a horde, try to take out the Cultist Witches first so you don't have to deal with their attacks.
The boss of the area is The King in the Mists. He can be tricky to deal with because of the prison he puts you in if you fail his ritual mechanics. If you notice a red symbol above your character, stop moving or you'll get imprisoned. If the symbol is violet, keep moving so you won't get imprisoned.
| Step | Objective |
|---|---|
| 1 | ![]() Go to the Hunting Grounds. |
| 2 | ![]() Look for the entrance to Freythorn. |
| 3 | ![]() Enter Freythorn. |

Once you enter Freythorn from the Hunting Grounds, you will encounter a waypoint. Freythorn comprises a series of smaller areas connected by several narrow paths. The three Ritual Altars you must complete before facing the boss can be found near checkpoints. The King in the Mists is usually found on the opposite side of the area's entrance, also near a checkpoint.
It is important to note that the areas are randomly generated and that the maps used are meant to serve as a general guide to the map layout.

The King in the Mists fight has a lot of ground degen effects which becomes much more hectic with the Ritual of Meditation and Ritual of Dance debuffs. To avoid being emprisoned from these debuffs, stop moving when you're affected by the Ritual of Meditation and keep moving when affected by the Ritual of Dance.
