Enshrouded Inner Orrery Rings Location (Small Ancient Dungeon)

The Alchemist wants a working model of the solar system, and the first piece he needs, the Inner Orrery Rings, sits in a sealed vault in one of the small Ancient dungeons in Cinder’s Cradle. You open the vault with a wall switch. The dungeon also has a Spark gate, but you don’t need to open it to get the rings.

Quick answer: Glide northwest from Cinder’s Cradle – Citadel into the Shroud canyon. Enter the Small Ancient Dungeon, take the teleporter, then press the red wall button in the side room to open the vault.

Inner Orrery Rings route: Citadel to the Ancient Obelisk

The dungeon is in the Shroud, northwest of Cinder’s Cradle – Citadel. Starting from the Citadel’s high exterior ledge lets you glide almost the whole way there.

Fast travel to Cinder’s Cradle – Citadel, or climb to it. Open the world map and confirm where the Collections: Orrery waypoint sits relative to you.

Jump from the high exterior ledge and glide northwest over the fog and the peaks. Keep the yellow quest marker ahead of you as you drop between the mountain crags toward the valley.

Glide down into the fog-filled canyon. The ENSHROUDED timer appears on screen when you enter, so the clock is running from this point on.

Land at the glowing pink Ancient Obelisk and read it. This adds Ancient Obelisk II, “And They May Never Heal,” to your journal and charts nearby locations on the map, including the dungeon.

Small Ancient Dungeon walkthrough to the vault

The dungeon is a short run. Expect automaton guards that fire laser beams, spike traps, and lava pits along the way.

From the obelisk platform, climb the stone stairs and cross the catwalks over the lava. Keep going until you reach a large stone door.

Open the door and step inside. A notification confirms you’ve charted the Small Ancient Dungeon.

Cross the lava bridge and destroy the laser-firing automaton guarding it. Then open the round iris door at the far end.

Step onto the purple teleporter pad in the middle of the next room. It moves you to the inner part of the facility.

Move through the laser traps into the chamber with the Spark door. Ignore that door and head into the side room across from it, watching for the floor trap at its entrance.

Press the glowing red circular button on the doorway arch. This unlocks the circular vault gate.

Go through the open gate into the central chamber. Interact with the glowing pedestal to take the Inner Orrery Rings.

The inner door shows “REQUIRED: Spark 1 / 10” and needs 10 Sparks to open. It is not on the path to the rings, so you can skip it. If you want to open it later, you get Sparks from Flame Shrines, and reading Ancient Obelisks reveals where hidden Flame Shrines are.

Confirming the pickup and the Orrery Display Pillar unlock

When you take the item from the pedestal, an “Inner Orrery Rings” pickup message appears on screen. Picking it up also teaches you the Orrery Display Pillar. The same unlock happens with the Middle or Outer Orrery Rings, so whichever ring you find first gives you the recipe.

You craft the pillar at the Alchemist, and it has to be built under a roof. It stacks to 20 and has Common rarity. The pillar is the base where you place all three ring sets.

Collections: Orrery pieces and locations

The collection has four pieces. You find three of them in the world and craft the fourth.

Piece	How you get it	Location
Inner Orrery Rings	Found	Small Ancient Dungeon, Cinder’s Cradle
Middle Orrery Rings	Found	Grand Planetarium, Revelwood
Outer Orrery Rings	Found	Manathor’s Plaza, a flying island
Orrery Display Pillar	Crafted	Alchemist

The Outer Orrery Rings are in the upper layers of Cinder’s Cradle. The quest hint points you there once you’ve lit the beacons. After you have all three ring sets, place them on the pillar to finish the entry. Crafting recipes are shared across the whole server, so the model only needs to be assembled once per server, and the XP reward is only paid out once.

Orrery collection reward recipes

Completing the model unlocks six furniture recipes. Five of them have known workstation and stack values.

Recipe	Crafted at	Stack size	Rarity
Huge Ancient Door	Carpenter	50	Common
Astronomy Desk I	Decoration Workbench	50	Common
Astronomy Desk II	Decoration Workbench	50	Common
Measuring Device I	Decoration Workbench	50	Common
Measuring Device II	Decoration Workbench	50	Common
Globe	—	—	—

Like the display pillar, the Huge Ancient Door must be crafted under a roof. All of these pieces are decorative furniture for your base.

Materials picked up in the Small Ancient Dungeon

Two materials show up as pickups during the run. Both stack to 250, so they’re unlikely to fill your bags on a short trip like this.

Material	Item level	Stack size	Source
Archaic Shards	45	250	Cinder’s Cradle, Ancient Constructs
Gold Ore	40	250	Veilwater Basin, underwater

Both materials have Common rarity. Archaic Shards are dense metal fragments that are too uneven to smelt cleanly, but they’re still worth keeping.
