So if you’re preparing for a long expedition into the most hostile and ubiquitous ofEnshrouded’s environments, we’re here to help! Without further ado, here are thebest ways to survive longer in the Shroud in Enshrouded.

1. Strengthen The Flame
The main way to extend your Shroud Timer in Enshrouded is to Strengthen The Flame at your Flame Altar. That’s a lot of jargon, so let’s break it down.
2. Unlock the Inner Fires and Relentless Flames skills
This means if you unlock both skills, you’ll gain a massive +7 minute bonus to your Shroud Timer. Both skills are located between the Survivor and Beastmaster branches in the skill tree, and they cost 3/4 Skill Points respectively.

3. Use Shroud Survival Flasks ahead of time
Enshrouded has a great many consumable potions and other items, and one of them directly increases how much time you can spend in the Shroud. The Shroud Survival Flask potion adds an extra 2 minutes to your Shroud Timer, and lasts for 45 minutes.
But there’s a catch: you have to drink the Shroud Survival Flask before entering the Shroud, not after. It only increases your maximum Shroud Timer, not the current countdown. So if you’re already inside the Shroud and you’re at 4 minutes out of 5, then when you drink the potion you’ll be at 4 minutes out of 7. Which is still just 4 minutes until death. So make sure you drink the Shroud Survival Flask ahead of your journey to make use of it!
You can occasionally find Shroud Survival Flasks as floor loot in points of interest on the map, but once you awaken the Alchemist you can interact with him to craft more Shroud Survival Flasks out of Charcoal, Shroud Liquid, and Wood Acid.
And with that, our guide on surviving longer in the Shroud in Enshrouded has come to an end. Hopefully these tips will help you to obtain key Shroud materials such asShroud WoodandShroud Cores.
