Enshrouded 1.0: Are There Mounts? How to Get Around Without One

As of the 1.0 release, Enshrouded has no mounts. There is no horse and no rideable animal, and the creatures you tame are not mounts either. They are pets and farm animals that stay at your base. To cover distance, you use three tools: the Glider, the Grappling Hook and fast travel between Flame Altars.

Are there mounts in Enshrouded 1.0?

No. Riding is unavailable in the PC 1.0 release: no item, recipe, skill, or quest enables it.

Taming doesn’t change that. Tamed animals become pets or farm animals, and the game’s own description makes their role clear: “Once tame, the animal can be picked up.” They live at your base. They don’t carry you anywhere.

What Wall Mounts are

If you searched the crafting menus for “mount” and found something, it was a decoration. The Decoration Workbench makes weapon Wall Mounts, described in game as “A display to showcase weapons or shields.” There are seven:

One-Handed Melee Weapon Wall Mount
Two-Handed Melee Weapon Wall Mount
Dagger Wall Mount
Bow and Arrow Wall Mount
Wand Wall Mount
Staff Wall Mount
Shield Wall Mount

Each one costs 1 Wood Logs + 1 Nails. They hang on a wall and hold your gear. That’s all they do.

Glide: the fastest way across the map

In Enshrouded, the Glider is your primary way to travel over land. Craft its basic version at the Workbench using 8 Shroud Wood, 2 Animal Fur, 2 String and 2 Shroud Spores. The Carpenter makes the upgrades, with every tier improving range and speed.

Character gliding off a cliff edge over a green gorge with the glider open and a Cancel prompt on screen — The glider open over the gorge.

Glider	Range	Speed	Stamina per Second	Made at
Glider	100%	10	4	Workbench
Advanced Glider	150%	15	4	Carpenter
Extraordinary Glider	200%	20	5	Carpenter
Ghost Glider	250%	25	5	Carpenter

Craft a Glider at the Workbench, or upgrade it at the Carpenter if you already have one. The Ghost Glider gives the most range and speed.

Get as high as you can and jump off. A higher starting point lets you glide farther, so cliff edges work well.

While airborne, hit jump once more to deploy the Glider. On PC, press Space again during your descent. This lets you travel across an entire gorge.

Gliding drains Stamina every second you’re in the air, and the two top tiers drain it faster. Watch your bar on long flights.

Grappling Hook: crossing gaps and climbing to anchor points

The Grappling Hook pulls you across gaps and up to anchor points. The item text calls it “A sturdy tool that can help to cross many chasms along the way.” Each pull has a Stamina Cost 40.

Use the Workbench to craft a Grappling Hook with 4 Metal Scraps, 7 String and 10 Shroud Spores.

Open your Backpack and select the Grappling Hook. Choose Equip to place it in an action bar slot.

Use the hook at an anchor point to be pulled across the gap or up to the ledge. At Braelyn Bridge, it lifts you straight onto a watchtower platform.

Two upgrades come from the Carpenter. The Improved Grappling Hook drops the cost to Stamina Cost 30 and is described as “Requires less stamina. Can be activated at larger ranges.” The Underwater Grappling Hook also costs Stamina Cost 30 and is “A grappling hook that can be used underwater.”

Fast travel with Flame Altars

Fast travel does the job a horse would do in other games. Flame Altars act as fast travel points, and you place them yourself.

Build a Flame Altar. It costs 5 Stone.

Walk up to the altar and interact with it when the “Commune with the Flame” prompt appears.

Open the world map. The footer reads “Fast Travel to last visited Altar”, and the side panel shows your Active Altars count, so you can confirm the new altar is registered.

Pick your destination altar and travel. If you’re inside the Shroud, the map shows “FAST TRAVEL IS NOT POSSIBLE WHILE IN THE SHROUD” in red. Walk out of the Shroud first, then try again.

World map with a red message at the top saying fast travel is not possible while in the Shroud — Fast travel is blocked while you are in the Shroud.

Stamina sets the limit on foot

Without a mount, Stamina decides how far you get. Sprinting, climbing, gliding and grappling all spend it. Raising your maximum through skill points and food gives you longer runs, longer glides and more grapples before you have to stop.
