Enshrouded 1.0 has six Hollow Halls, the sealed underground crypts full of the skeletal Hollow (see bosses in order). The map marks one in each of these regions: the Springlands, Revelwood, Nomad Highlands, Albaneve Summits, Kindlewastes and Veilwater Basin. They don’t all open the same way. The Springlands hall comes first, and the survivor you rescue there controls access to the other five.
Quick answer: Begin the Alchemist’s quest at the Springlands Hollow Halls, then summon the Collector, Alden Crowley, at the end. He reveals the locations of the remaining five halls, and you craft a key for each with him.
Springlands Hollow Halls: The Alchemist’s quest and no key
You can enter the Springlands hall without a key. Access comes through the Alchemist’s quest Explore The Hollow Halls. Its opening objective, Find And Prepare For The Hollow Halls, lays out what to expect:
“The Alchemist spoke of the “Hollow Halls” — underground crypts, sealed tombs holding the “Hollow”: walking skeletal remains. Find the Hollow Halls in the Springlands, and learn what’s kept buried there. The Halls do not forgive the unprepared. Stock food, potions, bandages, ammo… and armor up. Bring a team if you can..”
The other five Hollow Halls: Keys from the Collector
Once the Collector is in your base, he gives you a quest for each of the remaining halls. Each quest reveals the location and requires a key. The Revelwood version reads, “The Collector revealed the location of the Hollow Halls in the Revelwood. To enter, you will need a key. Craft the Key with the Collector to proceed.” The other four use the same text with their own region name. You can’t enter any of these five halls until you craft its key at the Collector.
Revelwood: Ectoplasm Press For The Collector
The Revelwood quest is called Ectoplasm Press For The Collector. Its objective tells you to “Fight your way to the end and smite down the one-eyed beast to obtain new crafting ingredients for the Collector.” After the fight, the quest updates with: “You defeated a fearsome Hollow Cyclops at the bottom of the Revelwood Hollow Halls. Take its head and use it to craft an Ectoplasm Press.” The press itself is covered in the Ectoplasm Press recipe.
Nomad Highlands, Albaneve Summits, Kindlewastes and Veilwater Basin
These four quests are named after their halls:
- The Nomad Highlands Hollow Halls
- The Albaneve Summits Hollow Halls
- The Kindlewastes Hollow Halls
- The Veilwater Basin Hollow Halls
Each one has the same objective: “Descend and reach the end to please the Collector.” The keys for two of these halls are covered in how to unlock the Albaneve Summits and Veilwater Basin Hollow Halls.
The Kindlewastes quest adds an extra line: “You will require a very high Shroud Passage Level to persevere. You should bring your best glider.”
