00:00Entrouded is back with a new, huge, slightly damp update, Wake of the Water. And if you

00:08haven't heard of or played Entrouded yet, essentially you play as Flameborn, a warrior

00:13who's awoken from a long, dreamless sleep ready to reclaim the realm of Embervale back

00:17from a deadly shroud of fog. It's a survival game with a unique spin, full of deep RPG systems,

00:22epic battles, a world of intrigue, and of course crafting. So whether you're just a chill guy

00:28looking to settle down and enjoy life on the farm, or you want to become a legendary warrior

00:32who parries everything that comes your way, here's 10 things you need to know about Entrouded

00:37and its new update, Wake of the Water. Presented by Entrouded.

00:42In Entrouded, exploration is rewarded and encouraged. See a sword stuck in the ground? Well, grab a

00:48shovel because it's time to start digging for treasure. In some cases, instead of buried

00:52treasure, there will be an explosive barrel, so that's why we give the shovel to a friend

00:56and have them dig instead.

00:58Props in local towns and ruins have a ton of resources for you to scavenge,

01:04so make sure you look around carefully so you don't miss any rare items on your adventures.

01:08If a wall looks a little bit sus, it probably is, so make sure you check the walls thoroughly,

01:12because sometimes they're hiding secrets of their own.

01:16Flame altars act as the game's fast travel system and allow for quick and safe teleportation across the

01:21map. As you explore new locations, they're charted when you interact with the altar after an expedition,

01:25which adds markers to your map that you can then teleport to. An altar will also provide you with

01:29mainline quests, so you can always have an objective to follow. You can extend an altar's

01:35building range, gain global benefits, and modify your skill tree through its reskill feature. What

01:39makes altars so fun, though, is that's where you respawn when you die, and they're upgradeable. So,

01:43before a big boss fight or dungeon, it's often a good strategy to build one right before the fight,

01:48just in case you get whooped. Traversal is a huge part of exploration, naturally,

01:54so that's why you should craft a grappling hook and glider as soon as you can. With the glider's

01:58capabilities of allowing you to float across terrain, or the grappling hook's ability that

02:02lets you zip across dangerous gaps to find treasure tucked away, they'll both allow you to safely get

02:07places you normally wouldn't be able to reach, without getting horribly injured.

02:10Plus, come on, flying across the map and seeing the world pass beneath your wings is just majestic.

02:20And, you know, swinging with the boys never gets old, so make this a priority so you and the squad

02:24can jam out with your hook out. That doesn't really work, does it? Well, you know what does work?

02:31This. Yeah, that's right, this game has a double jump. Need we say more? Oh, we do?

02:37Yes. Okay, well, let's move on then.

02:40What makes Enshrouded's building system so fun is that you can't really mess up a build. With its

02:44snap-to-grid mechanic, you can add on foundations and roofing without the hassle of needing to angle

02:49it just right to make it work. Enshrouded does all of this for you if you want, but if you are a master

02:54builder and don't need the on-rails guidance, that's cool too, since you can toggle snapping on

02:58and off to go full freestyle. Snap-to-grid is just another fun tool you can use for convenience sake,

03:02mostly for building foundations and roofs, but when you toggle it off, you can rotate and free play

03:07trim stairs and whatever other details you fancy where snapping would normally get in the way of

03:11creativity and experimentation. And speaking of experimentation, the Construction Hammer feature

03:16lets you pick up pieces from your builds, so you can recover the materials needed to build in the

03:19first place, so experimentation is 100% free if you don't like what you've made. For you players who

03:24are really into building, or those who just like to make things look really nice, there's some

03:27features for you too. Enshrouded allows voxel carving, which mind you isn't a bug, it's a full-on

03:32feature of the game. With voxel carving, you can cut clean shapes into the ground and cliffs,

03:36then use your rake to smooth it all out and make it look all nice. But wait, there's more! With

03:40scaffolding, you can scaffold your builds like a true designing pro and hit every angle of your

03:45build that you can imagine. Finish? Delete them after, no problem.

03:50Here's where the new Wake of the Water update comes in, and why you should be hyped. Water is a

03:53completely new addition to the world of Enshrouded. With the new update, you can now place it wherever you

03:58want with a fully robust placeable water system. You can route water, fish for cooking, and interact

04:03with the world just like it's an irrigation system. So what does this all really mean? We don't know,

04:08and no one does. Nah, I'm just kidding. It means cozy ponds outside your house, aqueducts across town,

04:16make your own waterfronts, and other cool stuff. Anyway, check out this cool water wheel!

04:22Pretty sweet, right? Not your thing? Well, what about fishing? What about cooking? What about vibing and

04:26casting a reel at sunset? No? Well, what about this cool water puzzle I made? I'm very proud of this,

04:32and if you don't think it's impressive, please just keep that to yourself. Just let us have this one,

04:35come on. Are you tired of fighting all the time? Of course you're not, but sometimes we all need a

04:41breather. Chill out after hours of hitting the dungeon, but hitting the farm instead. Animal husbandry

04:47is here, and no, that's not what it sounds like. You can tame animals and creatures like goats, dogs,

04:52cats, deer, yaks, and more, and then just keep them all to yourself at your base. Sit back and enjoy

04:56the peaceful life, and just be a chill farmer. Just have you got your yaks, got your goats,

05:01and you're not out in the dungeons killing stuff. Yeah. Make your pad feel alive by taming a ton of

05:08pets, creating some barns, markets, and rest areas, and once you get all that, breed your farm animals

05:13to create cute little offspring and make even more. Just, you know, make sure those fences are tall

05:17enough or they'll just all leave. It's not you, it's them, they just want to go explore. So you make the

05:21fences so they cannot leave you. Whether you're a god gamer or absolute trash,

05:25and shrouded has got you covered. With presets like default, relaxed, hard, and survival,

05:30there's bound to be a difficulty preset for everyone. But if you're really picky,

05:33or just like to tweak the game to your exact specifications of difficulty prowess,

05:37you can go into custom to modify just about everything in the game. From enemy damage,

05:41to your own health and stamina, resource yield, shroud time, death penalties, durability,

05:45and even your starvation meter, it's got it all. And it's all set to the server you're playing on,

05:49so it doesn't matter if you're a builder or a hardcore grinder, there's a little something for

05:53everyone. And shrouded is a game where damage type matters. There's four different damage types,

05:57which are cutting, piercing, blunt, and elemental. So depending on what type of enemy you're fighting,

06:01you'll have to swap to the right type if you want to optimize your damage output. So if you're not

06:05vibing with one, you can just swap to the other. But if you're vibing with all of them, that's also

06:08cool. You're not limited to only one archetype, so swap to a new weapon and build whenever you feel

06:12like it. And also, did we mention this game has a parrying system? If only I could actually parry like that.

06:19While we're on the topic of choosing your preferred playstyle, it's totally fine if you're not sure

06:25what you enjoy, because respecking is part of normal play and encouraged. If you want to switch from

06:30archer to warrior or to a magic user, that's totally cool, because you won't get punished for your

06:34choices. You can respec at a flame altar any time, so feel free to experiment with whatever character

06:39build strikes your fancy. And shrouded features boss battles that grant reward points for these classes

06:43we've been talking about. In this case, take the shroud root for example, which is an enemy that new

06:48players often miss out on, but by clearing them out you'll be granted skill points which are huge

06:52for early progression. Just keep an eye on your shroud timer, which is a timer that limits the amount of

06:56time you and your party can be in a shroud for. Those are just a few of the things you can look

07:00forward to when you make your own journey through Ember Veil. There's so much more to this game,

07:04not covered in this video, but you'll have to discover it for yourself by checking out

07:07enshrouded and its wake of the water update, which you can play right now on Windows PC.

07:12So what are you waiting for?

07:16I'm sorry, that was terrible. You know what? I think you're right. This is too much water.

07:21But also, for everything enshrouded and too much water, stick with IGN.
