How to find all Survivors in Enshrouded, and unlock advanced crafting
If you want to get the most out of crafting in Enshrouded, you must find all the Survivors that are scattered across the land. Many of them are unlocked early in your adventure — in fact, one of them is one of your earliest objectives. If you want to craft some of the most useful items this game has to offer, you will need all these Survivors as a part of your base.
Each of the craftsmen unlock specific types of crafting for your base, and through the assistants, you’ll unlock even more possibilities for your base. Once you start unlocking the craftsmen, they can give you quests to find their assistants. After you find all of those, you can find a selection of villagers to fill your base.
Where to find all Craftsmen in Enshrouded
Enshrouded’s Craftsmen Survivors primarily come from the Ancient Vaults scattered across the map, as you can see on the map below. However, others were added later, such as Melody the Bard, and Aiden Crowley. Both of those have other requirements, which we’ve posted below. Melody, for example, was added in the Melodies of the Mire update.
- #1 Blacksmith (Oswald Ander): Found in Ancient Vault north of where you start the game (Cinder Vault).
- #2 Alchemist (Balthazar): Found in Ancient Vault, northwest of Blacksmith, west of Springlands Ancient Spire.
- #3 Farmer (Emily Fray): Found in Ancient Vault, northeast of Alchemist, north of Springlands Ancient Spire.
- #4 Hunter (Arthalan Skree): Found in Ancient Vault, southeast of Farmer, east of Springlands Ancient Spire.
- #5 Carpenter (Cade Hawthorn): Found in Ancient Vault, southeast of Hunter, southwest of Low Meadows Ancient Spire.
- #6 Bard (Melody): After reaching Revelwood Ancient Spire and level 12, interact with your Flame Altar. You’ll receive a quest that leads to her tomb in the Sunken Ancient City, north of Blackmire Ancient Spire.
- #7 Collector (Aiden Crowley): First, receive the quest from Alchemist. Explore the Hollow Halls, and complete the Hollow Halls challenge to awaken Aiden and unlock him.
Once you’ve found one of these Survivors in Enshrouded, all you have to do is go back to your base and use your Summoning Staff. It’s important to place them in places where they’ll have a decent Comfort Level though — where they have a roof over their heads. Adding some crafting stations and furniture will help too. Each of these craftsmen, as well as their assistants, will unlock greater, advanced crafting options for your base.
Where to find all Assistants in Enshrouded
In addition to the normal Survivors in Enshrouded, you can interact with your craftsmen to unlock further quests. These quests will give you an assistant for each of them, once you’ve completed the craftsman’s task.
At this time, we have not found Assistants for either Melody or Aiden, but if we do, we’ll update this accordingly. Below is a list of all the assistants and their locations in the world.
- Blacksmith Assistant (Rochelle Anders): Located in Fanning Ranch. Blow up the barrels nearby to defeat nearby enemies faster. The corpse is visible on the ground.
- Alchemist Assistant (Lady Leclair): Located in Glenwood’s End, in a house on the west edge of town. Kill spiders inside, and drop down the hidden area in the main room along the wall. The corpse is in this cellar.
- Farmer Assistant (Fenrig Mills Jr.): Located in the Wolf Cave. Use the Springlands Ancient Spire and glide northwest to Fenrig’s Farm. The Wolf Cave is south of there. Defeat the wolves inside and then claim the corpse.
- Hunter Assistant (Galen Yager): Located in Draconian Vulture Nest. From Nomad Highlands Ancient Spire, fly southeast from here into the rocky hills, past the Flame Shrine. Head northeast to find the bird's nest. The corpse is in the main nest at the top of the rocky section.
- Carpenter Assistant (Aunt Braelyn): Located in the Blackmire Hidden Temple. Glide west from Blackmire Ancient Spire to the hidden temple on the south side of the giant tree on the map. You can grapple jump to the corpse after hopping to the other side of the series of platforms. The corpse is on top of the Flame Altar in the center.
Where to find all the Villagers in Enshrouded
In addition to Survivors and Assistants, Enshrouded has some villagers you can add to your base. Once you’ve found the survivors and assistants, you can seek these allies out. Some of them are found near relatively useful locations, such as Robert Gibson. He’s southwest of Umber Hollow, which is where you farm Ammonia Glands.
- Robert Gibson: Found in Lupa’s Lair, southwest of Umber Hollow. Dig down through the rock in the main area to reach a lower area, where Gibson is found.
- Gabrielle Fairburn: Found in Surat’s Rest, you can glide down next to the bonfire, and skip all of the combat for this area. Corpse and Gold Chest are next to a bonfire. This is south of the Surat’s Rest icon.
- Hannah Reed: Found in Fort Kelvin, south of Revelwoods Ancient Spire. Fly down to the town and break into the watchtower to the west. One of the two corpses in this area will be what you need.
- Hugo Vanderhall: Found in the Sun Temple, which requires access to Kindlewastes. Glide south from the Ancient Spire, and try to land on the balcony of the Sun Temple. That’s where the corpse and an enemy await.
- Kaori Conway: Found at East Lapis, on the east side of the map. Setting a Flame Shrine in some of the higher locations of the map can make this an easily glidable location. When in East Lapis, head to the southwest part of town, and look for a house with a hole in the roof. Drop down, kill the rats, and claim the corpse.
- Marianne Reed: Found at Vukah Ceremony Hill. From Low Meadows Ancient Spire, glide southeast to land right on the hill. Defeat Vukah Brawler and find the corpse. There is also a powerful Blessing to unlock here.
- Gunther Galeforth: Found at Balefire Garrison “Windward”. Fight or avoid the Dragons, and then go inside to examine the corpses.
- Anton Godwin: Found at Gateway Outpost “Drifa”, north of Wickmouth. Enter the tower and go through the jail cells to find his corpse.
- Oscar Godwin: Found at Rothstep in the Albaneve Summits. Glide down to the village, land at the far end of town. Defeat the Scavenger Tyrant and Wolf, and find the corpse in the building near the silver chest.
- Ramone Jones: Found at Pikesmead’s Reach. Look for the Shanty Shacks region of the area. This is a dangerous area with plenty of enemies. Stand on the “SH” on the map, and head a bit north from there. Head into the nearby house, and go downstairs for a crypt. There are many enemies here as well, so be careful. There’s a bookshelf against a wall that hides a hidden passage. Interact with it, to go through, and find Ramone.
