Learn how to get Alchemical Base in Enshrouded! Discover the Alchemist's quest, required materials, and where to find them in the Shroud.
Alright, so you're looking to get your hands on some Alchemical Base in Enshrouded? It's a pretty crucial ingredient for some of the best gear and potions, so let's get you sorted. You can't just pick it up off the ground, unfortunately. You'll need to progress through the Alchemist's questline a bit.
Walkthrough
- 1Unlock the Alchemy Station: First things first, you need to get the Alchemist's quest called 'A Black Cauldron.' This quest usually pops up when you first enter the Nomad Highlands. If it doesn't show up right away, make sure you've completed other crafter quests and crafted some important Alchemist items. This seems to help trigger it.
- 2Find the Black Cauldron: The quest will send you to a few different spots around Nomad Highlands. You'll be heading through Rattlebleak and then to a small Shrouded area near an Ancient Tower. Inside this area, you'll face a tough enemy called a Fell Monstrosity. Defeat it to get the Black Cauldron.
- 3Craft the Alchemy Station: Once you have the Black Cauldron, head back to your Alchemist. You'll need to gather some materials to craft the Alchemy Station itself. The recipe calls for:
- 20x Fired Bricks
- 46x Wood Planks
- 510x Nails
- 63x Wood Logs
- 75x Copper Bars
- 81x Black Cauldron
- 9Craft Alchemical Base: With the Alchemy Station built and placed in your base, you can finally start crafting Alchemical Base! The recipe requires:
- 1x Shroud Liquid
- 101x Mycelium
- 111x Water
- 121x Shroud Spores
Tips
- Gathering Materials: All the ingredients for Alchemical Base can be found in Shrouded areas. Shroud Liquid comes from plants, Mycelium is the mushroom-covered ground, and Shroud Spores drop from most Fell enemies, especially warriors and archers.
- Finding Water: Water is best collected from Wells found in village or farm settlements. If you can't find one, your Carpenter can build one for you.
- Alternative Sources: Don't forget that you can also find Alchemical Base as loot by smashing objects in Ancient Towers, Flame Sanctums, and Sun Temples, particularly in the Nomad and Kindelwastes Biomes. You'll naturally pick some up as you explore.
What Alchemical Base is Used For:
- Revitalizing Health Potion: Restores 800 HP.
- Large Magic Chest: A special chest that lets you access all its contents from anywhere.
- Extraordinary Glider: The best glider version for faster travel.
- Stun Arrow: Arrows that can temporarily incapacitate enemies.
- Spice: Used in crafting new meal recipes.
- Nitrate: Essential for explosives and creating Fertilized Soil.
