If you’ve been scratching your head wondering how to get Shroud Vapor and Enshrouded Ice for the new gear customization system in Enshrouded: Thralls of Twilight, you’re not alone.
I was running around for a while, thinking I had to mine some frozen crystals or chip ice off glaciers… but nope, it turns out, the real treasure looks nothing like you’d expect. In this guide, I’ll walk you through exactly where to find Enshrouded Ice, how to craft Shroud Vapor, and dive into key updates in the game, from hidden loot caves to new gear systems and backpack upgrades.
Whether you’re looking to dye your gear or fully embrace the latest patch content, this one’s for you.
How to Make Shroud Vapor & Where to Find Enshrouded Ice
Enshrouded Ice is a new crafting material introduced in the latest patch. It’s the key ingredient needed to craft Shroud Vapor, which is essential for unlocking new dyes at your Coloring Bench.
You won’t find it in regular ice blocks or glaciers. Instead, this rare resource is dropped from odd-looking mushrooms and strange bushy plants scattered through the shrouded parts of the Albeneva Summits (yes, the snowy biome).
Where to Find Enshrouded Ice
To find Enshrouded Ice:
- Head to the Albeneva Summits, specifically into the Shroud zones.
- Look for tall mushrooms and unusual bush-like plants growing in the mist. Don’t mistake them for the small mushrooms around the area, they drop shroud wood.
- Chop them down, they’ll drop Enshrouded Ice. (Spoiler: it’s not actual ice, don’t waste time mining cold rocks.)
Tip: Explore deeper into the shroud and hit everything that looks odd or out of place. You’ll collect a bunch of Enshrouded Ice fast. Bring a solid weapon, you’ll run into some resistance!
How to Craft Shroud Vapor
Once you’ve collected enough Enshrouded Ice, head to your Laboratory. You’ll unlock the Shroud Vapor recipe automatically after picking up the ice for the first time.
You’ll need:
- Enshrouded Ice: (From mushrooms/bushes in the Albeneva Summits, chop the mushrooms in the Shroud)
- Salt: (Found in places like the Salt Mines in the Springlands)
- Active Mycelium: (Mined in the Springlands Shroud/Albaneva Shroud caves , glows light blue)
Craft that vapor, and voilà, you’ve unlocked a whole suite of new dyes and customization options.
Still Can’t Find Enshrouded Ice?
You’re not alone. Here’s a quick recap:
- Chop down tall mushrooms or bushy plants in the Albeneva Shroud/Summit.
- Ignore frozen rocks, they won’t drop anything useful.
- Enemies in the area (like trolls, bugs, and flower mobs) can sometimes drop it too.
- Once you have even one piece, Shroud Vapor becomes craftable at the Lab.
This patch added a ton of depth, from gear dyeing to hidden loot systems and powerful new gems. If you’re feeling a bit lost, that’s totally normal. Start by farming Enshrouded Ice, unlock Shroud Vapor, and build from there. Re-exploring the map is not only necessary but genuinely fun with all the surprises waiting in the Shroud. Good luck out there, and don’t forget to bring your pickaxe, and maybe a fresh backpack while you’re at it.
