Looking to unlock the Glider in Enshrouded?Enshrouded, like many other open-world survival crafting games such asSubnauticaandGrounded, takes place on a single (very large) prebuilt map. And when I say large, I do mean very large. It can take you a very long time to get to where you’re going inEnshrouded- unless, of course, you use a Glider.

With a Glider equipped, you can jump off the tallest cliffs and buildings, spread your wings, and use your Stamina reserves to soar and glide across huge swathes of land in moments. It’s a fantastic traversal item (much like the other key early-game traversal tool, theGrappling Hook), and one that’s well worth unlocking as soon as possible. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to craft your first Glider in Enshrouded, how to use it to cross great distances, and how to upgrade your Glider to better, more powerful models later on in the game.

Ghost Glider

The Ghost Glider is the most powerful and upgraded form of the Glider in Enshrouded. This Glider is one that you actually have to find, rather than craft - but after you’ve found it, you’ll also unlock the recipe to craft more Ghost Gliders.

The quest to find the Ghost Glider is located in the Desert biome. To craft it, you’ll also need the following fancy materials:
