If you've spent hours wandering Enshrouded's mist-shrouded valleys and crumbling ruins, you've probably stumbled on at least one dark, gated structure marked with strange runes. These are Hollow Halls, some of the most challenging and rewarding areas in the entire game, and one of the most common questions new and veteran players ask is how many hollow halls enshrouded has across its open world. I've spent over 80 hours exploring every corner of the map, clearing each of these dungeons multiple times to test different builds and loot drops, so I've put together everything you need to know below.
How Many Hollow Halls Enshrouded Has Across the Full Map
As of the latest official content update, there are 12 total Hollow Halls spread across all three biomes of Enshrouded's base game map. Four are located in the low-level Springlands, five in the mid-to-high level Kindlewastes, and three in the mid-game Revelwood zone. Each of these hollow halls has a unique theme tied to the ancient civilization that once inhabited the area, so you'll never run the same dungeon twice.
Two of these 12 Halls are unmarked on your default map, so you'll have to track them down via hidden clues or NPC side quests to access them. All 12 Hollow Halls are accessible in both single-player and co-op modes, so you don't have to play with friends to unlock their rewards. You won't lose access to any Hall if you progress the main story, so you can clear them at your own pace whenever you're ready. If you're playing on a modded server, the count may be higher if server owners have added custom dungeons, but this number applies to all vanilla unmodded games.
What You'll Find Inside Each Hollow Hall
Every Hollow Hall follows a loose core structure, but layouts, enemy types, and unique rewards vary by biome and difficulty level. You'll first need to solve a small entry puzzle to open the front gate, usually involving lighting matching rune torches or finding a hidden key in the surrounding area. Once inside, you'll face 3 to 5 waves of enemies matched to the Hall's recommended level, a mini-boss halfway through the dungeon, and a final boss at the end that unlocks the main reward chest.
While exact drops change with each run, you can expect to earn the following rewards from every Hollow Hall clear:
- Unique crafting recipes for endgame gear and base decorations you can't find anywhere else
- Large quantities of rare crafting materials like Shroud Root, Ancient Amber, and Enchanted Iron
- Skill points to unlock new abilities for your character, one per Hall on your first clear
- Exclusive armor sets and weapons tailored to the biome the Hall is located in
I've found that the two secret unmarked Hollow Halls have much higher drop rates for legendary items, so it's worth tracking those down first once you hit level 25. You can replay any Hollow Hall as many times as you want, though you'll only get the one-time skill point reward on your first clear. Loot respawns every 7 in-game days, so you can farm rare materials whenever you run low for crafting projects.
Tips for Clearing Hollow Halls Efficiently
I used to rush into Hollow Halls undergeared all the time when I first started playing, and I wasted so much time replaying sections after dying repeatedly. Over time, I picked up a few tricks that make clearing even the highest level Halls take 15 minutes or less. If you're new to hollow halls, start with the lowest level ones in the southern Springlands first to get used to the layout and enemy patterns.
Always bring at least two types of elemental damage with you. Most Hall enemies have a weakness to either fire or frost, and the final bosses are almost always vulnerable to one of the two. You should also carry at least 10 healing potions and 3 revival shards, especially if you're playing solo, because you won't be able to fast travel out of the Hall once you start the final boss fight.
Clear all side rooms before you fight the final boss. Most side rooms have hidden chests with extra materials, and some have rune buffs that increase your damage or defense for the boss fight. If you're playing co-op, assign roles before you go in. Have one player focus on crowd control, one on healing, and one on high single-target damage for the boss. That makes even the hardest level 40 Hall feel trivial. Don't forget to loot the small urns and crates scattered around the Hall, I've found multiple rare recipes hidden in those that most players miss.
How to Find the Unmarked Secret Hollow Halls
The two secret Halls are some of the most missed content in the game, but they're not that hard to find if you know what to look for. Skipping them means missing out on some of the best mid and late-game gear available, so it's well worth taking the time to track them down when you hit the right level range.
The first secret Hall is in the northern part of the Springlands, near the abandoned watchtower. You'll find a small stone shrine half-buried in the snow with three runes on it. Light each rune with a fire torch, and a hidden path will open up leading straight to the Hall entrance. This Hall is recommended for level 20 players, so it's a great spot to farm mid-game gear before you head to the Kindlewastes.
The second secret Hall is in the western edge of the Revelwood, near the large fallen tree that crosses the river. You'll need to collect three hidden rune stones from nearby enemy camps first, then place them on the altar next to the tree to unlock the entrance. This one is level 35, so it's perfect for gearing up for the final main story boss. If you're having trouble finding the rune stones for the Revelwood secret Hall, talk to the Hunter NPC at your base, she'll give you a side quest that marks the camp locations on your map for you.
Whether you're farming for rare materials, chasing exclusive gear, or just trying to 100% complete the game, knowing how many hollow halls enshrouded has is the first step to getting the most out of your exploration time. You don't have to clear all of them right away, but even knocking out a few early on will give you a huge leg up on the rest of the game's content. If you end up stuck on any of the boss fights, try swapping out your build to match their elemental weakness, or bring a friend along to make the fight go faster. I've cleared all 12 Halls more times than I can count, and I still find new little hidden details every time I run them, so don't be afraid to take your time and explore every corner.
