Fields of Mistria: Museum donations guide, how to get every item

One of the best aspects of Fields of Mistria is all of the content provided by Museum donations. There’s always something to find or aim for, so you’re never left hunting for something to do. The Museum is split into the following four wings, all focusing on a different type of items: Archaeology Flora Insects Fish Table of contents How to complete the Archaeology Wing of the Museum in Fields of Mistria How to complete the Fish Wing of the Museum in Fields of Mistria Overworld fish Fish in the Mines Legendary fish How to complete the Flora Wing of the Museum in Fields of Mistria Overworld flora Flora in the Mines How to complete the Insects Wing of the Museum in Fields of Mistria Overworld insects Insects in the Mines Grass Insects Beach Insects Rare Insects Legendary Insects How to complete the Archaeology Wing of the Museum in Fields of Mistria Screenshot by Destructoid To be upfront, it’s currently impossible to get 100% of the Archaeology Wing in Fields of Mistria.
