Best Early Armor Set in Enshrouded
Much like any other open-world survival RPG, Enshrouded doesn’t tell you much when starting as a beginner. This mysterious early game tends to be diverting for players, as they get only the low-level gear, but what if we tell you that’s not the case? Here in this guide, we will be sharing details on how to get the Best Early Armor Set in Enshrouded that is strong enough to carry you to the mid-game, and onwards.
Unlocking Pikemead’s Reach in Enshrouded
Before we get started with the Best Early Armor Set in Enshrouded, you have to unlock the Pikemead’s Reach, which is an essential location for all the early game Armor Sets.
Note: In case you have unlocked it, then you can proceed onwards with the guide, but if you haven’t give the guide a read below.
So, you start with the Cinder Vault, as your beginning location, you can head from the broken Braelyn Bridge, and onto the Ancient Spire - Springlands Fast Travel Point.
From that location, you have to get to the Ancient Spire - Springlands Fast Travel Location. To do that, you have to glide directly from the Springlands to the Ancient Vault - Farmer.
When you reach Ancient Vault, you can travel from the bridge area towards the Carpentry Camp, and dropping off the cliff at this location, you can reach the Ancient Spire Revelwood Fast Travel.
The final step would be to travel northeast from the Revelwood, and you will reach the Pikemead’s Reach.
The best part is that when you look directly northeast, standing on top of the Fast Travel location, you can see Pikemead’s Reach - a city location. This is an easy glide journey that you can take to make your way towards the location.
Our recommendation would be to go right from here and reach the end of the cliff, from where you have to run towards the destination of Fawnsong Frontier, a bandit camp.
Continue following the edge of the cliff, and you will reach a corner, an extra left towards your left that sticks out. This can help you reach the Northern Caravan Camp.
Look directly towards the north side, and you will find The Pike closer to you, which is effortlessly accessible from this location.
Gliding and running through the shroud, you will eventually reach The Pike. Place a Flame Altar that allows you to fast travel to this location, and respawn here as well.
Best Early Armor Set in Enshrouded
The best early gear in Enshrouded is the Guard of the North Armor Set which looks quite impressive, giving you a dark knight vibe. Guard of the North will provide you with 113 Physical Resistance, alongside Magic Resistance.
Moving onto the enchantments on the Enshrouded Guard of the North Armor, it comes with some unique ones like the gauntlet part of the set enhances your magic, ranged, and melee damage by 4%.
With that being said, it does have one drawback. When wearing the Guard of the North, your time in the shroud will be reduced. It isn’t something that you want to focus too much on, as the individual buffs from the Armor Set make up for everything, and you don’t have to craft the parts yourself, rather find them.
The Armor Set much like others is divided into 5 parts:
-
Helmet
-
Chest Plate
-
Gloves
-
Pants
-
Shoes
Getting 5 of these and equipping them will complete the Guard of the North Armor Set in Enshrouded. Now that you know what we are dealing with here, let’s individually talk about the location of each of these Guard of the North Gear parts.
Guard of the North Boots Location
From the Flame Altar, you can reach the entrance to the Pikemeads Reach. There is also a checkpoint towards the left side of the entrance.
Don’t go inside, rather head towards the right side of the entrance, outside it. Eventually, you will find a broken wall, with rubble on the ground.
Climb up and go right, traveling on top of the wall, and you will reach the inside of the tower. Climb upwards inside the tower, and you will find a chest. This is where you will get Guard of the North Boots.
Guard of the North Helmet Location
After you pick the boots, glide toward the visible wooden building’s top, and then climb, dropping towards the right side.
From this location, climb up the wall, and reach the other side, where you will also see a boulder. It is an explosion and when you get near it explodes. Parkour your way from the building’s roof, and move right (northeast) side.
Head onwards, and you will find another Flame Shrine. We will put an image below as to where you are actually.
On the left side of the shrine, there is a broken wall that leads towards the inside of the building. Take it and jump outside of the building towards your left side. You will eventually come outside of the area.
Stick to your right side, jumping from cliff to cliff, and you reach the top of the hill, where you can again see the castle from.
This will make it easier for you to get the Guardian of the North Helmet early on in the game. We will again put a map location as to where you need to be.
From this location, you can see a little blue door that is in the shroud and center of the tower.
There is a chest on your left here that will give you the Guard of the North Helmet in Enshrouded. This location is quite near to the Pike Boss as well.
Guard of the North Armor/Chest Piece Location
Go back to the Flame Shrine that you reached on your way towards the Helmet. Same as before, go out of the location, but this time, take an extreme left on the wall of the castle.
Run on the wall, and you can on your right, at the end of the wall, you will see a house, with a gap in it. Drop down, and go towards this house, getting inside it.
This is an entrance to the tomb hidden from plain sight. After opening the door, you can run down and enter the tomb.
Progress through the tomb, on your right side, and you will find a massive hole in the wall. Inside this, you will find a tomb extreme right at the corner. This is where you will find the Guard of the North Chestplate.
Guard of the North Gloves Location
Go to the entrance of the Pike, where you also have the checkpoint. This time head inside, and after a while, you will find a climbable area to your right. Take it, and head inside the house towards your right side. At the right corner, you will find a climbable area.
Take this area, and get on the walls of the castle. On the edge of it, you will find the entrance to another house with an opening. There is also a grappling location.
Don’t go inside the house, rather climb up, and you will also see a shroud root here. Running the building roofs, you can reach the back of the shroud root. There is a golden chest, and here you will find the Guard of the North Gloves.
Guard of the North Pants Location
Once again, start from the front entrance of Pike Castle. But, this time take the west route, on the left side of the checkpoint, running around the edges of the castle walls.
Run around the location till you find a wooden structure, which you can climb up. It takes some time to get here, but you eventually will be free from any enemies, as the area has none of them.
Climb up, and use the grappling, but don’t go inside, as you have to jump on your left, over the walls of the castle.
At the end of it, take the left, and jump from there onto the massive storage boxes/cylinders. Again, jump on the walls of the castle towards your left, and progress onwards as you would behind the wooden structure with a grappling point. Do this until you reach the next corner of the castle, and some stairs take you down.
Getting past the stairs, you will find archers here on the wooden floor. Go right, dropping into the shroud, and run south, where you will also find a broken fence.
Drop down from here, and you will find an entrance under the bridge on your right. Inside to the right, you will see a golden chest where you will find the Guard of the North Pants Enshrouded.
This will complete the Guard of the North Armor Set for you, which is the best early armor to get in Enshrouded.
