In Enshrouded 1.0, Sun Temple Stories is a main quest given by the Carpenter. Speak with the Farmer, Emily Fray, then go to the Haunted Sun Temple near Brittlebush in the Kindlewastes and defeat the Fell Sicklescythe there to get its head and 300 XP.
Quick answer: With Emily Fray at your base, talk to her, travel about 115 m north-west of Brittlebush to the Haunted Sun Temple, and defeat the Fell Sicklescythe deep inside.
| Step | What to do | Where |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Speak to Emily Fray about Elin’s curse | Your base |
| 2 | Reach the Haunted Sun Temple | Kindlewastes, by Brittlebush |
| 3 | Defeat the specter (Fell Sicklescythe) | Inside the temple, below the entrance |
Sun Temple Stories steps
The first step can’t move forward until Emily Fray, the Farmer, lives at your base, and you rescue her from the Ancient Vault — Farmer in the Revelwood. If she’s already home, you can start right away.
Defeat the Fell Sicklescythe to complete the quest. The journal text for this step reads: “You’ve reached the entrance of the Haunted Sun Temple. Now it’s time to step inside and lift the curse! Find whatever is haunting the Haunted Sun Temple and defeat it!”
Haunted Sun Temple location
- The Haunted Sun Temple is in the Kindlewastes, about 1.1 km north-west of the Kindlewastes Ancient Spire. Its entrance is about 115 m north-west of Brittlebush, and a Return Beacon stands roughly 25 m north of the entrance.
- Elin’s lore note, “The Walls Are Alive!”, can be found around 10 m to the north of the entrance.
- Emily Fray’s former tavern is the “Far Away Fray” Tavern, about 90 m west of Brittlebush.
The Haunted Sun Temple, the Fell Sicklescythe, Elin’s note and every other Sun Temple are all on our interactive Enshrouded map.
Elin’s note is the in-world version of the rumor that kicks off the quest. It opens with “Townspeople, be warned! You must pray elsewhere, for these halls are haunted! I saw it with my own eye!” and describes the creature as “Twisting the fire was a nebulous horror, skeletal remains aflame in spectral glow!” It’s signed “— Elin”.
The surrounding area is worth a sweep. Within about 200 m of the temple there are 2 gold chests, about 12 silver chests and about 20 wooden chests. Emily Fray’s diary pages lie about 105 m north-east and 145 m south of the entrance, and a puzzle with a silver chest waits about 120 m north.
Fell Sicklescythe drops
The Fell Sicklescythe waits about 210 m north of the entrance, inside the temple and lower than where you came in. It drops the following.
| Drop | Amount | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Fell Sicklescythe Head | 1 | Gold Fell Sicklescythe Trophy |
| Shroud Nexus | 1 | — |
| Mist of a Fell Sicklescythe | 1-3 | Armor, spells, ammo |
| Legendary Runes | 4-8 | — |
The head carries the text “There’s still a faint glow behind its eyes. Hopefully, they won’t follow your every move.” Four of them, plus 2 Wood Planks, 2 Nails and 1 Gold Bars, make the Gold Fell Sicklescythe Trophy at the Hunter.
Mist of a Fell Sicklescythe goes into a long list of headgear: Warlock Helmet, Archmage Hat, Sage Headwrap, Soldier Helmet, Rogue Helmet, Warden Helmet, Assassin Hood, Deerstalker Hood and Deadeye Hood. The Alchemist also uses it for Light Burst, Shroud Meteor, Eternal Heal Cascade I and Eternal Shock Wisp I.
Every Sun Temple location
The map marks five Sun Temples as dungeons. Four are in the Kindlewastes and one is in the Nomad Highlands.
| Sun Temple | Region | How to find it |
|---|---|---|
| Haunted Sun Temple | Kindlewastes | By Brittlebush |
| Sun Temple | Nomad Highlands | About 105 m north of the Northern Caravan Camp |
| Sun Temple | Kindlewastes (north-east) | About 48 m from a Return Beacon |
| Sun Temple | Kindlewastes (south-west) | About 200 m west of a Return Beacon |
| Sun Temple | Kindlewastes (south-east) | About 35 m south of Hugo Vanderhall |
The Nomad Highlands temple has a Return Beacon about 45 m south of it. Hugo Vanderhall, the marker for the south-east Kindlewastes temple, is a survivor.
Sun Temple Stories isn’t the only quest that sends you into one of these buildings. The Alchemist’s main quest “Among The Bluejays” points you to a Sun Temple for the Ghost Glider, with the step “Enter The Sun Temple” and the line “The camp the Alchemist mentioned is right by an ancient Sun Temple. The legendary Glider must be inside.”
Every Kindlewastes quest, survivor and boss is in our Kindlewastes guide, the Nomad Highlands temple is covered in the Nomad Highlands guide, and every other quest is in the all quests list.
