Ancient Vault - Hunter in Enshrouded
The Ancient Vault containing the Hunter is a key location in Enshrouded, vital for unlocking advanced inventory management and crafting capabilities. Rescuing the Hunter allows you to build the Hunter's Workbench, which is essential for crafting larger backpacks and other survival gear.
This vault is typically found in the early to mid-game regions. It often presents a moderate challenge, with a good number of enemies and potentially some environmental hazards. The Hunter NPC is usually located deeper within the vault, requiring you to navigate through its defenses. Before venturing in, ensure you have a solid supply of healing items, a reliable weapon, and decent armor. The enemies you'll face might include Vukahs, scavengers, or other indigenous creatures, so be prepared for a mix of combat styles.
Key steps and considerations for the Hunter Vault:
- Locate the Vault: The vault's location will be marked on your map, often after progressing through certain main quests or exploring specific areas.
- Prepare for Combat: Stock up on Healing Poultices and ensure your gear is repaired and effective.
- Navigate the Vault: Expect enemy patrols, traps, and potentially some light platforming or puzzle elements. Clear areas methodically.
- Enemies: Be ready to face Vukahs, Scavengers, and potentially stronger variants.
- The Hunter's Chamber: The Hunter is usually found in a dedicated chamber, often guarded by a mini-boss or a group of tougher enemies.
- Rescue and Extraction: Once you reach the Hunter, interact with him to initiate his rescue. You will then need to escort him back to your base or a designated safe zone. Be aware that enemies might respawn or new threats could emerge during the escort.
Upon successfully rescuing the Hunter and bringing him back to your base, you can then construct his Hunter's Workbench. This workbench is where you'll craft the Medium Backpack, significantly increasing your inventory space. Further upgrades to the Hunter's Workbench will unlock recipes for the Large Backpack and other useful gear.

- Use Cover: Utilize the environment for cover during combat to manage your health and stamina.
- Prioritize Healing: Don't hesitate to use healing items if your health drops significantly.
- Save Regularly: Save your game before entering challenging sections of the vault.
Rescuing the Hunter is a high priority for any player looking to improve their carrying capacity and overall efficiency in Enshrouded.
