The Springlands are the starting region of Enshrouded 1.0, in the south-west of Embervale: south of the Revelwood, south-west of the Nomad Highlands and west of the Kindlewastes. The game’s own Springlands Miniature Piece calls it “the place where everything began”, and it is where you wake the Blacksmith, the Hunter, the Alchemist, the Carpenter and the Farmer.
Quick answer: The Flame’s first quests rescue Oswald Anders, Athalan Skree and Balthazar from their Ancient Vaults in the Springlands, and the region has two Ancient Spires (the Springlands spire in the west and the Low Meadows spire in the east) for fast travel.
Getting around the Springlands
The Blacksmith points you at the first spire in “The Ancient Spires”. Its first step, “Reach The Ancient Spire”, reads:
The Blacksmith says scaling the Ancient Spire will reveal more of the Springlands. The one he mentioned isn’t too far from here.
Reach the Ancient Spire in the Springlands!
Climbing a spire unlocks fast travel to it. The Springlands Ancient Spire stands in the middle-west of the region, and the Low Meadows Ancient Spire about 1,460 m to its east; every distance in the tables below is measured from whichever of the two is nearer and names it. Between them the two spires have 5 Teleport Pads, and our Springlands map marks 41 Return Beacons, 146 Grappling Points and 9 puzzles in the region. The climb, chests and puzzles of the first spire are in the Springlands Ancient Spire walkthrough.
Your very first rescue, “Find the Sleeping Survivor”, starts with this step:
The world is lost, but not barren. Survivors of the Shroud wait to be roused by your inner fire.
Find the sleeping survivor marked on your map. You will have to venture through the Shroud!
Survivors in the Springlands
Nine survivors can be rescued in the Springlands, more than in any other region. Four of them are crafters you need from the first hours:
| Survivor | Who | Quest | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hannah Reed | Villager | We, The Only Ones | About 70 m south-west of Fort Kelvin |
| Elio Ricci | Barber | Illuminate The Night | About 180 m south-east of Fort Kelvin |
| Fenrig Mills, Jr. | Farmer | Bring Back The Pure Souls | About 80 m south-west of Wolf Cave |
| Balthazar | Alchemist | Powerful Alchemy | At the Alchemist’s Ancient Vault |
| Mei-Yin Chen | Lunar New Year Trader | Ringing In The New Year | About 330 m east of the Hunter’s Ancient Vault |
| Athalan Skree | Hunter | Hunter Becomes The Hunted | At the Hunter’s Ancient Vault |
| Oswald Anders | Blacksmith | Find the Sleeping Survivor | About 110 m west of the Blacksmith’s Ancient Vault |
| Marianne Reed | Villager, Hannah Reed’s daughter | Hannah Reed Needs Help | At Vukah Ceremony Hill |
| Cade Hawthorn | Carpenter | Carpentry Assistance | About 90 m east of the Carpenter’s Ancient Vault |
Fenrig Mills, Jr. comes from the Flame’s “Bring Back The Pure Souls”. Its second step, “Investigate The Nearby Cave”, reads:
You’ve discovered a note that referred to a farmer called Fenrig. Follow him to the wolf cave he ventured to and explore the area!
Once he is back, Fenrig sends you to Fort Kelvin in “We, The Only Ones”:
You’ve found and rescued a farmer named Fenrig Mills. He wonders where everyone is. Before he passed, the town of Fort Kelvin was said to be a safe place for travelers.
He suggested you search the town for any survivors, or people like him which you could bring back to life!
That is where you find Hannah Reed, and she starts “Hannah Reed Needs Help”:
The villager Hannah Reed is missing her daughter and hopes you can find her near the Vukah Ceremony Hill.
Investigate the area and search for pure souls there!
The full routes are in where to find Fenrig Mills, Jr., where to find Hannah Reed, where to find Marianne Reed and where to find the Barber, Elio Ricci.

The Alchemist has heard rumors of strange happenings in the Springlands. A group of Scavengers are abusing the Elixir and conducting cruel and unusual experiments.
Seek out their camp and smite them down to unlock an improved tool.
The Hollow Halls quest opens with a warning:
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..
And the Hunter’s fishing quest starts at night:
The Huntress asked you to gather some fireflies. She didn’t say what she plans to do with them, but it’s best to go along with it. Fireflies can be found in the Springlands at night.
Return to her with the fireflies in your inventory.
Mei-Yin Chen’s two quests are covered in the Lunar New Year plants guide, the fishing that follows “Unknown Waters” in our fishing guide, and the Garden Gnome in how to get the Garden Gnome. Every other quest is in the all quests list.
Springlands bosses
Our map marks five bosses in the Springlands:

| Vukah Brawler | At Vukah Ceremony Hill |
The Fell Thunderbrute guards the Shroud Root in the Elixir Well of the Blacksmith’s “Clear The Elixir Well” (reward Fell Thunderbrute Head, a Skill Point and 150 XP). Its first step reads:
The Blacksmith wants to fight against the Shroud, the ruinous fog that has overtaken Embervale from the depths of the Elixir Wells.
Reach the nearby Elixir Well to learn more about the Shroud!
It is recommended to equip sufficient gear, such as fur armor, for example. Eat food and rest in your base to acquire buffs before heading out.
The Scavenger Gorger Matron holds the Hill of Scavengers for “The Alchemist’s Rumors”, and the Vukah Brawler is the champion of the Carpenter’s “Vukah Ceremony”:
The Vukah have created a champion at their camp. Defeat the Vukah Brawler at the Vukah Ceremony Hill to return peace!
The way back down to the Thunderbrute, if you fall out of the well, is in how to get back down to the Fell Thunderbrute, and the full quest in the Clear The Elixir Well walkthrough.
