Since its Early Access launch on Steam in late January, Enshrouded has quickly become one of 2024's most popular new games. Its blend of open-ended exploration, survival game mechanics, and Soulslike combat is very compelling — especially since all of it takes place in a beautiful, yet ominous dark fantasy realm where a corrupting pestilence has fallen over the land. But when you're first starting out, it's tough to figure out what to do first and how to go about surviving and thriving in Embervale.
I recently began my own playthrough to take a break from Palworld, and after stumbling my way through the early game for several hours, I've come away with some handy tips and tricks that every new Enshrouded player should know, along with warnings about mistakes I made that you should avoid. The below guide covers all of this information as well as some other useful details, too; give it a read, and you'll know how to start your adventure on the right foot.
