Boss Guides

BossesEnshrouded's named bosses, in rough order of progression, are the Fell Thunderbrute, the Scavenger Matron, the Fell Wispwyvern, the Hollow Cyclops, the Vukah Brawler, the Fell Monstrosity, the Fell Sicklescythe, the Fell Dragon Youngling, Hydrak'Dal and, at 1.0, the story's final boss in Cinder's Cradle. Since 1.0 bosses regain health slowly after you die instead of resetting.
Fell Dragon YounglingThe Fell Dragon Youngling is the dragon of Enshrouded's Albaneve Summits (achievement "King of the mountain"), long the game's hardest boss. Enshrouded 1.0 reworked it on Oct 15, 2026 with a big health cut, a wider arena with grapple anchors, an exhausted phase on the ground for melee and a weak point on its back for every weapon.
Fell ThunderbruteThe Fell Thunderbrute is the first boss of Enshrouded, the guardian of the first Elixir Well in the Springlands, reached through the Shroud near Braelyn Bridge on a quest from the Blacksmith. Beating it earns the achievement "Thundering success", its head and the Shroud Root at the bottom of the well.

Survival Guides

Beginner Guides

Beginner's GuideIn Enshrouded, start by leaving the Cinder Vault, placing a Flame Altar (your first level-up in 1.0), freeing the Blacksmith (the second), following the main quest, and upgrading the Flame so you can survive deeper Shroud. This guide covers the first hours of the 1.0 release in order, with Keen's own tips.

Building Guides

Building GuideBuilding in Enshrouded is voxel based: inside a Flame Altar's area you place blocks, props and roofs with the Construction Hammer, terrain can be dug and raised anywhere, and since 1.0 the Airborne Architect skill lets you fly around your base while you build.

Crafting Guides

Crafting StationsCrafting in Enshrouded starts in your backpack, moves to the workbench, and then to the stations and factories the rescued survivors teach you (Smelter, Forge, Loom, Tanning Station, Ectoplasm Press, Charcoal Kiln, Athanor and more), which can pull materials from nearby magic chests and, since Update 7, run on water wheels or windmills. 1.0 cut early recipe costs and sped up factories.

Exploration Guides

Glider, Grappling Hook and Fast TravelEnshrouded has no mounts: you cross Embervale on foot, by glider (lifted by Updraft and air streams), by grappling hook, by swimming and diving (since Nov 10, 2025), and by fast travel between climbed Ancient Spires, your Flame Altars and, since 1.0, a bed you sleep in.

Setup Guides

Dedicated ServersThe Enshrouded Dedicated Server is a free Windows tool in the Steam library (app 2278520), configured in enshrouded_server.json, with Keen documenting query port 15637 and 1 to 16 player slots. PS5 players cannot join it, and Linux is "planned for later".
