Welcome to the Enshrouded achievements guide covering all 37 achievements in the base game at early access launch. The majority of the achievements are earned by locating all ancient spires, resources, obelisks, shroud roots, and flame shrines in each region.
Enshrouded is a new survival game initially released on Steam for early access in January 2024. Overall, it is a fairly stable game for an early build. The main game features are fully playable. I expect they will continue working on enemy AI, fix collision meshes, update the UI, improve performance, and possibly add voices to the NPCs. All achievements appear to be unlockable and are not ambiguous in their descriptions.
Game Stats
- Difficulty: 4.5/10
- Time to Completion: 35-50 hours
- Does Difficulty Affect Achievements?: No. There are no difficulty options.
- Missable Achievements: No. The game is an open world and you may freely explore as you level up your altar.
- Buggy Achievements: No. It may look like Spark of the Kindlewastes is not unlocking, but that’s because you need to enter all 5 Sun Temples and collect the Flame Shrines.
General Tips
- Craft the glider & grappling hook as early as possible to help with exploration.
- Always return home when your rest buff expires and make sure you fill it up.
- Repair at the workbench each time you return to your home. Also, look for anvils in encampments in the wild to repair.
- Unlock Double Jump with your first set of skill points. Additionally, plan to grab Updraft to help increase the distance you can glide.
- Upgrade the flame level of your altar to place additional flame altars around the map as mobile fast travel locations.
- Keep a stack of Lockpicks in your pack in case you run across a locked chest or door.
- Craft magic chests when they become available so you may continue crafting at your base without holding the resources in your backpack.
- After finding the Hunter, craft a drying rack, gather salt, and craft 4 dried furs. Then, have the Hunter craft your first backpack extension.
- Use the pickaxe to dig through rubble and find hidden rooms and treasures. If you see explosive barrels, they often reveal secrets when destroyed.
- Don’t enter the shroud if it is red. This means it is a more difficult version of the shroud and you need to level up your altar.
