Enshrouded Beginner Guide
Your first hour is the Flame Altar, a shroud timer you can survive, and the Springlands materials the Hunter quest already points at.

First session
For an existing character, 1.0 resets the skill tree and refunds points. Keen explicitly recommends spending those points again before leaving your base, not after an hour of combat.
- Craft and place a Flame Altar. It is the base claim and the respec point.
- Follow the Hunter’s opening task to the large salt deposit in Springlands. Pick up metal scraps from scavengers and scrap piles while you are there.
- Build a bed and a fire. Food buffs matter later; Last Meal keeps a weakened version if you die.
- Leave clay, copper, and amber for Revelwood. They are not in the starter meadow.
Questions
Can I play the tutorial solo?
Yes. Solo and offline are both supported. The PC cap of 16 is a maximum, not a requirement.
When do I enter the Shroud?
After you can see the timer and you own a way back. Early roots and wells are worth it. Deep red fog is not a starter goal.
