If you’ve spent hours wandering the Revelwood region looking for one of Enshrouded’s most rewarding early-to-mid game dungeons, you’re not alone. I spent three separate play sessions running in circles past the same bandit camps before I finally figured out how to get to Hollow Halls Enshrouded, and I’ve put together this guide to save you the same frustration. The dungeon is packed with rare crafting materials, a unique legendary weapon chest, and a boss fight that drops materials you need to upgrade your Flame Altar to level 4, so it’s well worth the effort to track down. I’ve tested every possible route to this location across solo and co-op play, so all the steps below work for both single player and group runs.
Prep Steps Before You Head to Hollow Halls Enshrouded
You can technically reach the entrance to Hollow Halls as low as level 12, but you’ll have a much easier time if you wait until level 15 or higher, especially if you’re playing solo. First, make sure you’ve upgraded your Flame Altar to at least level 3, so you have enough shroud resistance to cross the misty areas between your base and the dungeon entrance. You’ll also want to bring at least 3 grappling hook charges, a pickaxe, and a stack of healing potions, since the route has a few steep climbs and random patrolling mobs that can catch you off guard.
Don’t forget to set a fast travel point at the nearest Ancient Spire first – the Revelwood Spire is the closest, and it cuts your travel time down by 70% compared to running from a base in the starting Springlands region. If you haven’t unlocked that spire yet, take 10 minutes to clear it first, it will save you so much backtracking later. You can also craft a couple of speed potions if you want to zip past mobs without stopping to fight, they only cost 2 thistles and a bottle of water to make, so they’re super accessible even for newer players.
The Fastest Route to Hollow Halls Entrance
Once you fast travel to the Revelwood Ancient Spire, follow this exact route to reach the dungeon in under 10 minutes, no detours required. There are a lot of misleading guides out there that overcomplicate how to get to Hollow Halls Enshrouded, but this route works for every platform, including PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. I’ve tested this route 8 times across different playthroughs, and it avoids 90% of the high-level bandit and wolf packs that roam the northern part of Revelwood.
- Head west from the spire entrance, following the dirt path that runs along the edge of the shrouded forest until you hit a broken stone bridge
- Use your grappling hook to cross the gap left by the broken bridge, then turn southwest and follow the cliff edge for roughly 300 in-game meters
- Look for a small moss-covered stone door half-hidden behind ivy on the side of the cliff – that’s the unmarked entrance to Hollow Halls
You might run into 2 or 3 level 14 bandits along the path, but they’re easy to outrun if you don’t feel like fighting. If you see a group of 4 or more level 16 shamans, you’ve drifted too far south, so turn back north until you hit the cliff edge again to get back on route. A lot of players miss the entrance because it’s not marked on the default map until you get within 50 meters of it, so keep your eyes peeled for the ivy-covered stone once you get close to the cliff drop-off. If you’re playing co-op, have one player stay on the path while another checks the cliff side to spot the entrance faster.
What to Do Once You Enter Hollow Halls
Once you step through the entrance, the first thing you’ll notice is the low-hanging shroud that covers the first two rooms of the dungeon. You have 10 minutes of shroud resistance with a level 3 Flame Altar, which is more than enough time to clear the first section and light the first altar inside to reset your timer. Don’t break every crate and barrel in the first room right away – a lot of them trigger small poison traps that drain your health before you even get to the first mob fight. Instead, stick to the left wall of the first room to avoid the trap triggers, and open the iron door at the back to reach the main hall.
The main hall has three separate chests scattered on the upper balconies, all of which have a chance to drop rare iron ingots and enchanted armor pieces. The chest on the west balcony has a 40% chance to drop the Hollow Cleaver, one of the best one-handed weapons for mid-game builds, so make sure you climb up to check it first. If you’re playing co-op, split up to check the balconies faster, but make sure someone stays near the center altar to light it if your shroud timer starts running low. The boss fight is at the far end of the main hall, and you don’t have to trigger it until you’re ready, so feel free to loot the rest of the dungeon first before you interact with the stone coffin in the back room.
Common Mistakes to Avoid When Looking for Hollow Halls
I’ve seen hundreds of players in the Enshrouded community forums share the same mistakes that make finding this dungeon way harder than it needs to be, so I’ve broken down the most common ones to help you skip the frustration. First, don’t try to reach the dungeon from the Springlands side of the map. The route through the mountain pass is blocked by level 20 mobs that will one-shot most players under level 18, so it’s always faster to unlock the Revelwood Spire first. Don’t rely solely on the map marker for Hollow Halls that you find online – a lot of older guides share the wrong coordinates, because the dungeon entrance shifted slightly during the early access launch patch. The ivy-covered cliff entrance is the only consistent marker you can trust.
Another common mistake is going at night. The shrouded areas around the entrance get extra mob spawns after dark, including level 17 wraiths that can chase you across long distances, so wait until in-game daytime to make the trip if you can. If you do get lost, open your map and check that you’re in the northwest corner of the Revelwood region, right along the border with the Shrouded Wastes. If you’re anywhere else, you’re heading the wrong way. Don’t waste time clearing every mob you see along the route, most of them don’t drop anything valuable enough to justify the time and healing resources you’ll spend fighting them.
The rare loot and upgrade materials you get from clearing Hollow Halls make all the travel effort worth it, and now that you know how to get to Hollow Halls Enshrouded, you can run it as many times as you want to farm for that perfect legendary weapon or stack of rare crafting materials. I’ve run this dungeon at least 20 times across different playthroughs, and I still find new hidden chests every couple of runs, so take your time to explore once you get inside.
