All Shroud Root and Elixir Well locations in Enshrouded

In Enshrouded, beating Shroud Roots is key for extra Skill Points, helping you build your character. Shroud Roots seem scary but don’t hurt you, though they make a Shroud area that vanishes when you defeat them. Below are all the known Shroud Root and Elixir Well locations in Enshrouded.

Where to find Shroud Roots in Enshrouded

In the early stages of Enshrouded, you’ll come across roughly eight Shroud Roots, with many more scattered about as you explore. Many of these will appear as question marks until they are discovered or marked on your map by a quest, such as the first Elixir Well quest set by the Blacksmith.

Shroud Roots are found in various spots above ground, or within Elixir Wells guarded by enemies. Distinguishing between them is important:

• Elixir Wells: Often these are mini-dungeons watched over by Shroud monsters like skeletons and spiders. You might need stronger gear or careful combat to clear these spots before you can safely tackle the Shroud Root.
• Shroud Roots: These spots are generally unguarded, making them more accessible. You can get to them just by exploring the map, without needing to fight off monsters first.

All Shroud Root Locations

Solo Shroud Roots are not marked on the map, so to find each one, you will have to explore the regions marked above and look out for the tell-tale glowing red of the root. If you want to be guaranteed to find a root, it is best to seek out the ones at Elixir Wells that are marked on your map as you progress.

Tackling Shroud Roots in Enshrouded is a smart move early on. Each cleared Shroud Root rewards you with one Skill Point. This means you can swiftly rack up eight extra points by just dealing with these spots. These points are enough to unlock two to three small and medium nodes on your Skill tree and even one large Ability node. This boost significantly enhances your combat and survival skills, regardless of your character’s level. That makes Shroud Roots an effective path to strengthen your character indirectly.

Once you’ve cleared Shroud Roots, it’s a smart move to teleport straight back to any fast travel spot you’ve unlocked on your map. With the Shroud gone from the area, fast travel becomes possible again. Shroud Root locations can often be dangerous, so using fast travel ensures a safe return. Of course, if you’re heading towards a specific quest or another point of interest nearby, you might choose to continue on foot. But generally, fast travel is the safest and quickest way to go after clearing these areas.

All Elixir Well locations

As you explore an Elixir Well to find and destroy the Shroud Root, you will encounter several enemies to defeat. Not all wells have a boss, but a few do, including the first Elixir Well you come across when completing the Blacksmith’s quest. Elixir Well locations are scattered across the lower half of the map from Braelyn Bridge to the Far Away Fray Tavern.

Listed below are all locations for the Elixir Wells in the order you are most likely to come across them. As you progress, more of the map will be uncovered and more locations revealed, so if you don’t yet see any of the places mentioned below, try completing more quests and exploring more of the land.
