Enshrouded Biome Guide: Every Area in Embervale

Enshrouded is a deep survival RPG that focuses not on a single region but on a wide variety of biomes. The map isn’t procedurally generated — it’s handcrafted by the developers. Exploration is absolutely worth it, as you never know what surprises the devs have tucked away for you. Embervale is diverse and offers many different biomes, each with its own quests, materials, items, and challenges. Here’s a quick tour of the map to guide you through your Enshrouded adventure.

Enshrouded Springlands Guide: A peaceful start in the forest biome

Level: 1 to 10

Flame Altar: 1 to 2

In every region we recommend you head straight for the Ancient Spire to gain a great vantage point over the area. After the initial tutorial you’ll arrive in the Springlands, a gentle and largely peaceful biome for your first steps in the game. Get to grips with the mechanics, gather your first items, and speak to the survivors. Common enemies include the Fallen and Scavengers, as well as wild animals. You can also hunt for rare fossils, which are unique to this area.

A key part of this region is building your first rudimentary base and rescuing several survivors. Start with the Blacksmith, who is crucial for further upgrades. You can also rescue the Alchemist and the Farmer here.

Enshrouded Low Meadows: Resources and survivors in the valley

Head south-east from the Springlands to reach an open, grassy valley. Technically it’s part of the Springlands, but it’s best tackled from level 5. Here you’ll find the Hunter and the Carpenter, two more essential survivors for your base. It’s also a great spot to gather lots of resources, including wood, sticks, animal products, and plant fibres. Stock up for the later game!

Enshrouded Revelwood: Dense rainforest biome with rare resources

Level: 10 to 15

Flame Altar: 3

Travel north from the Springlands to reach Revelwood, an even denser forest filled with nasty creatures. Watch out again for Fallen and Scavengers, but fauna and flora can also make things difficult.

Venture into the woods to hunt for rare resources. You’ll find copper, clay, and hardwood to craft even better gear. It’s also a great place to pick up plenty of armour pieces. Learn more in our article (Enshrouded Armour & Outfits: Best Sets, Classes & Transmog) . There are two sets for each class to discover!

Enshrouded Blackmire: Swamp biome, puzzles, and the Bard

Further north lies Blackmire, a sub-region of Revelwood. The trees grow even thicker here and you’ll be pushing through a veritable jungle to make progress. It’s also fun to solve the local puzzles! You’ll find the Bard here too, deep within one of the dungeons. You can also encounter rare animals, either to tame or to use as crafting materials.

Enshrouded Nomad Highlands: Desert plateau, Vukah, and new ores

Level: 15 to 20

Flame Altar: 4

The highlands divide the eastern and western halves of the map and should be crossed from around level 15. It’s a fairly rugged, barren region with a strikingly different landscape. That also means plenty of new resources you won’t find in the western forests. You’ll come across lots of limestone, as well as tin and fossilised bones for various recipes. You can also gather aloe vera, paprika, and rooibos.

The environment isn’t friendly. Expect tougher Scavengers and Fallen, plus many Vukah gathered in their camps. Keep an eye out for dangerous wildlife such as the sabre-toothed tiger.

Enshrouded Kindlewastes: Desert lowlands, crafting resources, and armour

Level: 20 to 30

Flame Altar: 5

The Kindlewastes cover a large area in the south-east of the map and will push you hard. The sun beats down and the desert seems endless. But it’s worth the trip, as you can equip yourself with plenty of valuable items here. Find rare resources such as saffron, lapis, and sulphur, or look for palm wood and iron. If you enjoy building with sand and sandstone, you’re in the right place!

The fauna is the main threat here, including scorpions, rats, spiders, and vultures. You’ll still encounter Scavengers and Fallen, but less frequently than in earlier regions. Exploring the dungeons is well worth it, as each class has three different armour sets to find here, plus plenty of powerful weapons to prepare you for the final two regions.

Enshrouded Albaneve Summits: Frost biome, mountains, and rare ores

Level: 30 to 40

Flame Altar: 6 to 8

You’ve braved forests and deserts — now it’s time for the cold mountains. Head north of the Kindlewastes and you’ll immediately notice the desert giving way to a frozen landscape. We recommend equipping warm clothing and keeping an eye out for rare armour.

This area is full of new materials and items, including snow and ice, plus stones such as granite, obsidian, and silver. You’ll face your usual foes — the Fallen and Scavengers — now even stronger. Climb to the summit of the highest peak and face a mystical creature. On a gentler note, look out for goats for your base and animal husbandry.

Enshrouded Veilwater Basin: Tropical biome, fishing, and Draks

Level: 35 to 45

Flame Altar: 8 to 9

The latest region is Veilwater Basin, a waterlogged area north of the highlands, between Blackmire and the Albaneve Summits. Inspired by the tropics, it features beautiful ruins and a host of new mechanics. You’ll also meet the Angler, a new survivor. That finally lets you craft a fishing rod and catch fish.

There are new enemies too — the lizard-like Draks. They’ve built their sacred temples here and defend them fiercely. Exploration pays off, as the region offers many unique items such as coffee, gold, aquamarine, and tropical wood. You’ll also find new food items, including bananas, ginger, and coconuts.
