The Blackmire has five hidden recipe notes that count toward its journal quest, plus a sixth note in the same collection that unlocks an arrow. The Hollow Halls have three more, one in each of the Revelwood, Nomad Highlands, and Kindlewastes Halls.
Quick answer: Read each note to unlock its recipes. Five Blackmire notes complete the level 13 quest, three Hollow Halls notes complete the level 25 quest, and each quest pays 75 XP.

“The Message Above” sits in the Blackmire collection but is not one of the five notes the quest counts. It unlocks an arrow at the Hunter instead.
How hidden recipe notes unlock recipes
Reading a note is what unlocks its recipes. After that, the Carpenter, Hunter, and Collector list the new recipes in their crafting menus, and the decoration pieces show up at the Decoration Workbench.
The Blackmire and the Hollow Halls each have their own journal quest, which starts when you find the first note.
- Hidden Crafting Recipes — Blackmire is recommended for level 13. Collect 5 notes for 75 XP.
- Hidden Crafting Recipes — Hollow Halls is recommended for level 25. Collect 3 notes for 75 XP.
The Blackmire quest’s task text reads: “You’ve found a hidden crafting recipe in the Blackmire! Obtain all 5 recipes scattered throughout the area to unlock traversal options for your home, as well as buffs and decorations!” The Hollow Halls version reads: “You’ve found a hidden crafting recipe inside the Hollow Halls. Obtain all recipes scattered throughout the Halls in each biome to decorate your home with a new mysterious flair!”
Blackmire hidden recipe note locations
All six Blackmire notes are positioned relative to Return Beacons, Hidden Temples, and survivor spots. Each spot below is given from the nearest Return Beacon, Hidden Temple, camp or survivor.
The six Blackmire notes, the Hidden Temples and the Return Beacons are on our interactive Enshrouded map.
A Miserable Jump: trampolines
This note is about 280 m south-west of a Return Beacon. It opens with “I was leaning over one of those ominous bouncy things” and unlocks two trampolines at the Carpenter.
| Recipe | Cost |
|---|---|
| Trampoline (High Jump) | 10 Hardwood, 15 Linen, 5 Leather |
| Trampoline (Medium Jump) | 10 Hardwood, 10 Linen, 3 Leather |
I Have To Remember This: Vukah Shrine
Look about 145 m east of a Return Beacon, which puts you about 215 m north of Aunt Braelyn‘s survivor spot. The note (“If I remember how the Vukah made it, I can make it, too”) unlocks the Vukah Shrine at the Decoration Workbench. It costs 4 Limestone and 1 Vukah Brawler Head.
The shrine is more than decoration. Its item text reads: “Interacting with this shrine will grant you the Vuk’ahrrrrr buff. It grants + 20% Damage against Scavenger and + 10% Poison Resistance for 30 minutes.”
A Wonderland Of Lost Architecture!: Blackmire statues
This note is signed by Braelyn. It is about 225 m north-west of a Return Beacon and about 270 m east of a Hidden Temple. It unlocks eight statues at the Decoration Workbench.
| Recipe | Cost |
|---|---|
| Blackmire Statue I to VI | 5 Blackmire Stone each |
| Big Blackmire Statue I and II | 10 Blackmire Stone each |
Larger Than Life!: Blackmire Temple Door
It is about 12 m south-west of a Hidden Temple and about 210 m north of a Return Beacon. The note asks “Did the Ancients craft these incredibly gigantic doors for their breed?” and unlocks the Blackmire Temple Door at the Carpenter for 20 Blackmire Stone.
Secrets! Treasures! DOORS!: Secret Temple Door
The third Braelyn note is about 70 m south of a Hidden Temple. Its line “I must have pressed a hidden button to open a secret door!” leads to the Secret Temple Door, which the Carpenter makes from 5 Metal Sheets, 100 Temple Stones, and 10 String. The item text describes its purpose: “Hide passages in your base behind this secret door.”
The Message Above: Eternal Frost Arrow I
This is the sixth note, the one outside the quest count. It is about 6 m south-west of the Hermit Camp and about 90 m west of a Hidden Temple. It reads “To all who’ve followed the call: Take my arrows, and let them guide you.” It also mentions the Sunken City and an “agonizing whistle”, which points to the Follow The Melody quest area.
The arrow costs 20 Brittle Shroud Petals, 15 Goo, and 15 Bug Dust. Its item text calls it “An arrow that was embraced by eternity. It’s ice-cold to the touch.” and adds “Does not deplete Ammo per use.”
Hollow Halls hidden recipe notes and Collector recipes
Each of the three Hollow Halls has one note inside, and you need the Collector’s key for each Halls to get in. The Collector crafts all of the unlocked recipes.
Revelwood Hollow Halls: Listen To My Plan, Brothers
The note announces its plan: “First, we’ll make a fine brazier, a chandelier, and oh so many candles.” It unlocks five Crypt pieces.

Nomad Highlands Hollow Halls: Let’s Redecorate!
“I have an idea: A throne made from Bones.” That idea becomes the Crypt Throne, which costs 30 Bones, 2 Ectoplasm Gem, 20 Resin, and 5 Giant Bones. The item text says it “Provides comfort, increasing the duration of the rested buff.”
Kindlewastes Hollow Halls: If Mother Were Here
The last note begins “If Mother were here, she’d hang up chandeliers, set candles in every corner”. It unlocks an iron lighting set plus a bookrest.
| Recipe | Cost |

“Ectoplasm” in these iron recipes accepts any of Ectoplasm Fragment, Ectoplasm Shard, or Ectoplasm Crystal.
Once you have read the third Halls note, the Hidden Crafting Recipes — Hollow Halls quest completes and pays its 75 XP. Every Crypt recipe is then in the Collector’s list.
