Game is amazing but too easy

[Tuvia]

after 40 hours play i already did everything and i never really got a good 1h but i still managed to beat everything , very similar to valheim but very easy with teleporting with ores on you and also everything resets so its very easy to get recources.

i give it a 7/10

You THINK you did everything? Ha Ha Ha

I have to admit that I'm a real loser!
I'm level 18 and specialized in ranged combat and I'm having a lot of trouble cracking the thing in the castle!
I visited the entire map (level 3) in 65 hours now!
Unfortunately, I don't have a 1 meter c**k like all of you!

Tell an old loser how to crack the thing in the castle!

Leveling is glacially slow, and many enemies I have come across have been able to literally one shot me (while taking 10+ hits to kill). Those that don't one shot me can usually two shot me, and only the weakest take three or more to take me out. The map is something of a nightmare to traverse, with the general theme seeming to be "you can't get there from here".

If this is easy, then I don't think a game has ever been made that is difficult in your opinion.

To be completely honest, I really don't understand the way I'm being hit so hard. The status screen shows me having like 200+ health, but 65 damage from an enemy will end me.

Some tips - Resetting skill points only costs 10 runes which is basically free. I have so many thousands of runes at level 25 that I wish i hadn't hoarded as long as i did. Try combinations as often as you'd like with zero fear of losing out on runes.

If you see a shroud root, kill it. It's a free skill point. Elixir Wells are 2 or 3 free skill points.

Comfort bonus is slept on. When I leave my base i roll out with 40 minutes of rested bonus.

Always keep a bow on you. For puzzles, but also because the AI cant climb anything. You're on a platform with a ladder? They don't know how to use said ladder despite opposable thumbs.

Make sure to keep 3 food buffs up when you're out on missions or exploring.

Keep stone or a spare altar on you so you can fast travel and drop loot off whenever you want or before a tough looking fight so you can get back quickly. Bring a stack of materials and build a tower and glide wherever you want. Simply deconstruct and extinguish the flame at your leisure.

You can pickaxe through basically anything. Might take a bit of time but anywhere you see you can get to. Especially using a quick altar/tower method mentioned previously.

I personally ended up going red skill trees and into the survivor/beastmaster trees for extra endurance and poison resist. That was my "get ♥♥♥♥ done" max build. If youre really struggling i'd try going red tree until you get the enemies down. Once i started using a shield and unlocked jump attack the game became frustratingly easy and never really got any more difficult. Ranged bow build would be my second choice..

EDIT: Forgot to mention you can also pickaxe the walls next to impassable doors. Don't have a lockpick? Bash the walls around the door in or explode them with a bomb.

Thanks for the tips, I'll keep them in mind. I've been going the mage route, which has felt absolutely awful to be honest. It mostly consists of using wands, because up until just recently I didn't even have any "ammo" for the staff. Even now that I do, I can only cast like 2 or 3 "spells" with the staff before I'm out of mana.. and the ammo for it gets used up extremely quickly (much like arrows).

I mostly feel like a glass cannon, except instead of a cannon I'm shooting spitballs that have half the range of all the other ranged weapons. I just recently respecced into the green tree and got double jump, which feels like such a QOL change that it should honestly just be given by default. It feels like the map was made with it in mind, as there are all sorts of little ledges at just the right height to be double jumped onto to aid in map traversal.

I haven't really tried melee weapons yet, mostly because it feels like the moment I get in melee I just die instantly. Things hit far, far too hard for it to be viable.

the healing aura from the mage skilltree was very helpfull lategame.

Just run/jump/glide around in the castle for some seconds after a hit and you will be full-health.

First time I met this thing I had no chance. Visited the castle back at ~lvl 20 and it was easy going. Just eat/drink before and maybe use some damage-potion. if necessary even use some scrolls

good luck

Theres an 'endless' version of each cast. And did you cook food/drinks for +int ? Buffed with +int I got more than enough mana for my staves to crack the hordes down, no mather how many they were

Stay closer than you think, and have plenty of health potions. Wispwyvern's weakness (that I can tell) is that its only 'gotcha' attack is the 360 spin move, everything else is easily dodgeable by circling him. Keep a one handed melee weapon handy for the scarabs when he spawns them, and keep shooting.

You will eventually be able to find/craft 'eternal' spells which don't have charges. Changes the staff game completely. Pure wizard really shines later in the game when you have near infinite resources to play around with (funnily enough pretty consistent with the traditional 'rpg' class of wizard, eh?) and can craft the stronger spell charges. Otherwise you're stuck with wand and occasionally casting fireball.

For melee, shield blocking works against nearly all attacks (especially melee attacks), you can also 'parry' with good timing that will both stop the attack and give you a momentary opening (and stun them, if you fill up the parry bar).

Make sure you use the melee armor sets from the blacksmith, physical resistance is paramount in this game as far as I can tell. Magic users are very few and primarily late game, plus their attacks are generally easy to dodge. So that resistance is pretty useless right now.

Thanks for the good suggestions despite my one sentence ;)
I've used the 'hack through everything' thing several times. Even through smaller rocks!
I also perforated the castle to have a good shooting position on the thing in the castle.
Unfortunately it disappears when you withdraw from the area!
I have a 62 legendary ax but it doesn't do much damage to the thing.
And its spitting kills me instantly!

Re-selecting the skill tree is appealing, but I find the magician rather weak!

I'll try it again later and even better prepared!

hot take.

skill mage through till you have the sun/water auras. you get a healing-orb around you healing you and your mates 24/7 for free and with the sun aura you just don't care about enemies like the bugs in the shroud since the sun aura damages each second, and after 3 seconds each of those are dead. I just didn't care about those lowlevel creeps anymore since any noticeable damage taken would instant heal and the sun aura killed them automatically. could concentrate my full focus on the heavy enemies.

wouldn't exactly say a mage build is rather weak tbh

the wands are OP af aswell

ich finde es schwer genug ....
Der "blöde" Drache killt mich jedesmal . Starte heute meinen nächsten Versuch, um den Altar auf Stufe 4 zu bekommen . Mir fehlt nur noch der Drachenkopf.

The game is intended for a wider audience than Valheim.

Valheims Biome explorations and progression was super punishing and if you failed to prepare, you failed...

Enshrouded you can just walk anywhere with very little repercussions. I did the full game just eating berries and meat. Very easy.

for sure. aswell as the fact that you nearly let nothing behind when you die. armor? on you. tools? on you. weapons? on you. and so on... so if you manage to check in on your base every now and then and put the rare ressources into storage there isn't even a big need to do all the corsperuns. why running for the corspe just to gather some gatherable/minable ressource? After I realised that, it was kinda just a toboggan through embervale

the world in this game is far more densely populated than it seems, i myself had run past several secret areas. Be them ones you grapple to or dig into.

I'm a player of fromsoftware games, the secret things in this game aren't even close hahah

Dude, you're being a turd (not just here, but in other threads, not sure why your'e being so contrarian). You can finish the quest line without looking in every nook and cranny. 40 hours, easily can finish the existing content without going all OCD and turning over every rock. Just because there are secrets and hidden things doesn't mean you're required to find every damn thing out there. Not everyone plays games as a "completionist". That's not how gaming works. Different strokes for different folks. This applies to everything. Think about it.
