Where To Get Shroud Cores: Overview

There are two ways to get Shroud Cores in Enshrouded:

• Craft Shroud Cores at the Alchemist
• Kill and loot the enemy type that carry Shroud Cores. We have an image of the enemies to look out for below.

And there you have it, you've got yourself Shroud Cores.

Where To Get Shroud Cores: Crafting (Alchemist)

The best way to get Shroud Cores is by crafting them with the Alchemist:

1. Gather the necessary ingredients:
   1. Shroud Spores (x10)
   2. Shroud Liquid (x10)
2. Craft the Shroud Core with the Alchemist.

Easy-peasy. But let's get into the deets.

1a. Collecting Shroud Spores

Shroud Spores are dropped by Shroud enemies like the blue humanoid monsters pictured below. They always drop Spores, but sadly only a couple a time.

The Shroud enemies are easy to find, but they are usually in groups of at least three, so be careful when challenging them.

1b. Collecting Shroud Liquid

To collect Shroud Liquid, you need to destroy the gray mushroom-like plants that can be found in the Shroud. Check out the image below, you've probably already come across a number of these plants on your journey.

It's impossible to miss these giant mushroom things, thankfully.

2. Craft Shroud Liquid

Now you have ten Shroud Liquid and ten Shroud Spores, go to your Alchemist and craft Shroud Cores, which are found in the Resources section of the menu. With these Shroud Cores, you can upgrade your Flame Altars, which extends their range.

Note: The Alchemist needs to be progressed slightly before they can craft Shroud Cores. Just craft two or three other items from their crafting menu, and you will get the necessary Alchemist XP to unlock Shroud Cores as a recipe.

You will need a lot of Shroud Cores as you get deeper into the game, so make sure to grab these resources whenever you come across them.

Where To Get Shroud Cores: Looting Enemies

There is one type of enemy that has a random chance to drop Shroud Cores. They float like ghosts and can be found in dungeons. Here are the kind of enemies you're looking for:

You are not guaranteed to get Shroud Cores from these enemies. For that reason, we recommend that most of you should just use the method above to craft Shroud Cores. Think of these enemies as more of a bonus, rather than the primary source of Shroud Cores.

Congratulations, you now know two different methods to get more Shroud Cores. These items are more relevant to the mid-game, but they are absolutely essential if you ever want to build a bigger base.
