How To Get Bones: Walkthrough

Bones can be looted from quite a few enemies when they die, but by far the easiest and most common enemies to kill for bones are Wolves. You can find Wolves almost everywhere, and they always drop bones.

1. Find Some Wolves

Stay above the Shroud and go exploring in any direction, you will probably find Wolves within a couple of minutes (they really are incredibly common).

Wolves will always travel in packs, you can see here what a wolf pack looks like from afar:

When we get within about thirty feet, we can lock on to Wolves and begin targeting them with ranged weapons:

Our biggest advice for Wolves is simple: Keep backing up and firing at the Wolves with one of your ranged weapons. These enemies are fairly easy to deal with, but you would be surprised at how much damage they deal if you let them get too close.

2. Kill The Wolves And Collect Their Bones

Once you have successfully defeated the Wolves, you can loot their bodies for Bones and Meat:

You can't collect Bones as quickly as Wood Logs or Stone, but you don't need nearly as many Bones.

What Can You Use Bones For In Enshrouded?

Bones are primarily used for grinding into "Bonemeal", a resource in Enshrouded that the Alchemist needs. You will need to get a grinding stone first before you can begin processing the bones into Bonemeal, but this is a very easy item to make (10 Flintstone and 15 Stone).

Congratulations, you too are now an expert at collecting Bones in Enshrouded. You can now find Bones, collect them, and use them. Good luck on the rest of your Enshrouded adventure!
