But as with most large-scale survival crafting games,Enshroudedcan get a little bit overwhelming for new players.
And best of all - neither of them take up space in your inventory!
As an aside - you’re able to even craft your owngrapple pointsfor use in your base!
You’ll thank me later.
For everyone else: just rest and eat plenty!
It’s not just good advice for real life.
As for resting, that’s possibly even more important.
So remember to rest and eat well.
Seriously, who here thinks prioritising Double Jump is a bad idea?
Yeah, I didn’t think so.
Strengthen the Flame
The very first thing the game askes you to construct is a Flame Altar.
Create lots of Flame Altars
Flame Altars are your respawn and fast travel points in Enshrouded.
This is fantastic for two reasons.
The first is that it expands your backpack size, allowing you to carry more items with you.
I recommend setting up one hotbar for combat and healing, and the other hotbar for building and resource-gathering.
Anything I want quick access to outside of combat.
Don’t neglect Magic!
Don’t dodge, block!
Okay, dodging is important too, I’ll admit.
Shoot barrels for easy victories
Keen Games are quite proud of their terraformable voxel-based terrain, clearly.
That’s why they’ve littered explosive barrels around the map, particularly in areas filled with enemies.
Build multiples of each Workshop
There are lots of different types of Workshop in Enshrouded.
My blacksmith shop at home, for example, contains 6 Charcoal Kilns and 3 Forges.
If you only have 100 or so blocks, then think again.
You’ll need several thousand at least.
And as an aside - definitely learnhow to deconstructproperly so as not to waste resources!
Secret areas in ruins are generally hidden by a fake wall with a button extruding from it.
Interact with the button to kick off the wall.
And there’s also the fake floor variant, which when activated reveals a hidden staircase in the floor.
Mark key mining spots on your map
Mining is another important part of progression in Enshrouded.
Pace yourself, it’s a large map!
Enshrouded is a big game.
Bigger than you think.
It took me about 20 hours of playtime to explore around 5% of the map.
Enshrouded is all about planning, patience, and exploration.
Have a look around for what interests you, regardless of the quests in your journal.
And don’t expect to plough through the entire game in a handful of sittings.
Enshrouded is a great game, so pace yourself and enjoy the journey.
