The Mists

The Mists are an ever-present, supernatural fog that envelops the world of the "Dark Souls" series. They serve as a barrier between the living world and the realm of the dead or otherworldly entities. The Mists conceal dangerous creatures, while also forming during moments of chaos or despair. They symbolize mystery, danger, and transition, often imbuing environments with an eerie, foreboding atmosphere. In gameplay, traversing the Mists typically involves confronting formidable enemies or uncovering hidden truths, making them central to the series’ themes of struggle, discovery, and the thin veil separating life from the unknown.
