New spooky NPC and sitting on toilet!
The “Hollow Halls” update introduced a large number of points included in Roadmap 2024. The creators of Enshrouded are certainly not idle! The highlight of the update is certainly the introduction of “Hollow Halls”, brand new dungeons available in every biome. In the Hollow Halls, a number of new challenges and the opportunity to discover a new NPC await you. Previously present NPCs Cade the Carpenter and Emily Fray will offer you new recipes that allow you to create potted plants, round doors and windows! The update will allow you to unlock a new crafting station, grow additional tree seedlings and discover completely new blocks, furniture (which you can now sit on!) and props. As if that wasn’t enough, the town of Willow Crush has been completely redone! Check out what else will surprise you during the game.
Hollow Halls – how do they work?
Hollow Halls are dungeons isolated from the rest of the world that must be completed in the following order:
- Springlands Hollow Halls
- Revelwood Hollow Halls
- The Nomad Highlands Hollow Halls
- Kindlewastes Hollow Halls
To gain access to the first dungeon, you will need to complete the Alchemist’s Quest. You will gain access to the next ones by creating keys from the resources available in the previous dungeon. Each of them uses the “Barrier” mechanics. Each dungeon door is defended by a force field that can be removed using runes. The most important thing to remember when preparing for the Hollow Halls is to take plenty of food and potions with you. You must be prepared for a multi-hour mission!
