How to complete the Archaeology Wing of the Museum in Fields of Mistria
Screenshot by DestructoidAt the time of writing, it’s impossible to get 100% of the Archaeology Wing in Fields of Mistria. There are two collections (Gems of Mistria and Metals of Mistria) that require an item each that is not currently obtainable in the game. These items will presumably come on yet-to-be-added Floors of the Mines, which will be added in future patches.
With that said, everything else on this list is obtainable. Here’s how to get every item:

How to complete the Fish Wing of the Museum in Fields of Mistria
Screenshot by DestructoidEach collection in the Fish Wing of the Museum requires you to fish in certain locations, during certain seasons, and even sometimes under certain weather conditions. The collection name tells you where and when you’ll need to fish. Only seasonally specific fish are eligible for donation to the Museum.
