Enshrouded 1.0: Where to Find the Carpenter Assistant (Aunt Braelyn)

Complete the Helping Hands quest across the Blackmire's Hidden Temples to rescue her soul and summon her to your base.

Complete the Helping Hands quest across the Blackmire’s Hidden Temples to rescue her soul and summon her to your base.

Aunt Braelyn serves as the Carpenter’s assistant and works from the same crafting list as the Carpenter, so she gives you a second carpenter at your base. Her body rests in the last of several Hidden Temples spread across the Blackmire; reach it by completing the Carpenter’s Helping Hands quest.

Quick answer: Speak with the Carpenter to begin Helping Hands, then track Aunt Braelyn’s clues through the Blackmire’s Hidden Temples until you reach the final one and free her soul.


Start Helping Hands from the Carpenter

The Carpenter gives you Helping Hands. He points you toward his aunt. Her trail runs through the Hidden Temples of the Blackmire.

The quest log explains why you are heading there in the first place:

The Carpenter wants some helping hands around the base. He mentioned his aunt Braelyn and wondered if she could be brought back from the dead like the villagers. He used to receive mail from her whenever she was out on adventures, but she went missing ages ago while scouting the Blackmire for interesting architecture. She seemed especially interested in temples, towers, and bridges. There’s plenty of hidden temples in the Blackmire region, so start your search there!


How to find and rescue Aunt Braelyn

Speak with the Carpenter to begin Helping Hands, then travel to the quest-marked Hidden Temple in the Blackmire. This is the first place to look for her trail.
