Enshrouded 1.0 First Hours — Full Transcript & Summary

[00:00] Hi everybody! Welcome to another playthrough here on the channel. Today we are here to play Enshrouded, which I am very excited about. I saw my GPU driver,

[00:15] I'll update that later. Anyway, a couple things about this playthrough. First of all, if this is one of the first playthroughs you've seen with me, hi, my name is Ko. I am a live streamer over on Twitch, and what you're watching here are the vibes of that livestream experience. Keep in mind, these are a little bit

[00:29] different than YouTube videos, so I'm responding to chat the whole time. I'll frequently go off on non-game-related tirades based on things we're talking about or what's going on in the world, so just keep that in mind. It's a little different here. So, yeah, I do read the comments on YouTube,

[00:42] though, so feel free to talk there as well. Anyway, we are starting a big new 1.0 run, and I'm going to be playing, I believe, on Hard. The last time I played this game was literal years ago, and I have not really returned for many of the updates, I think except for one session,

[00:57] and I did not do much then. So this is this playthrough right now. I don't know when it's going to end, but I know that I'm planning on getting lost in this game for a portion of time. We're going to be doing this as a main game

[01:09] for probably a bit, at least a few days, maybe longer. And then we'll kind of transition into our normal cadence of probably a couple games a day. But I do want to give this game some serious time and get into it.

[01:22] So on that note, of course, a huge thanks to Julia. We have some awesome Co-Vitar drops for this over on our amazing Co-Vitar system. You can find it at Co-Vitar.com. Looking great.

[01:34] And on that note, I think we're ready to get started. As a side note, by the way, kind of a big day. You're probably going to hear a lot about this during the course of the run, but the demo for the game I've been working on for the studio that I'm a co-owner of

[01:46] goes live in like four hours. So hopefully go try Emberville if you see this. We'd love for you to check it out and let us know what you think. Okay. let's let's get going

[01:58] I am ah man for the first I've been so stressed the last like week with everything going on this is like one of the first minutes I'm just like it's enshrouded time

[02:12] it's enshrouded time it's peanut butter enshrouded time uh let's do survival Do I want to do survival?

[02:25] I think so. Okay. I think I'm going to regret this. I think I'm going to regret this. Okay.

[02:37] That's a check the difficulty settings. 100% regret. Yeah. I mean, how bad is it? Can we change it later out of curiosity?

[02:51] Survival's just hard, what's having to eat? I can do that. Oh, you can change it later. Oh, perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Oh. We can change it later. Let's try it.

[03:13] I made it public? Oh, God! One second. Excuse me. me. Need to make a little change there. We're just going to delete that world out of existence.

[03:30] That never happened, Shep. It never existed. That was not a thing. Okay, let's see. Let's to rename chatalandia

[03:44] start offline Lorax, thank you so much for that 138, my dude.

[04:10] We can watch you in just one second. After 2.5 years of early access, Enshrouded 1.0 is finally here. Whether you're a newcomer or an enshrouded veteran, some of you were here for our closed alpha over three years ago now. We owe you our success, so from all of us who built Enshrouded, an immense thank you.

[04:25] One very important thing for returning players using an existing character, skill points and buffs have been reset. Find the skill tree changes, so make sure you reinvest your points before you venture out or you will have a bad time. Okay, we don't have any points, so for us, that's fine.

[04:38] We have watched the highlight video before, and if you'd like to watch that with yourself, you can find it over on YouTube. our 1.0 release is just a step in the development of our game so you can expect more news from us on what's coming next for Enshada before the end of the year

[04:52] cool okay so apparently if I go to my journal long ago

[05:07] a wanderer brought an enthralling gift to the people of Enderveil In the elixir, it was a cure, a blessing, a weapon.

[05:20] Yeah, like I looked like somebody who would give a cure. Concealed by the ancients, its might had been set free. With it came power, mistrust, and a longing for more.

[05:35] Humanity dug the elixir wells, ripping apart the land and each other to quench their thirst. Elixir and blood, a drop for a drop.

[05:52] But from the depths of the wells an unforeseen curse swept into a new realm. The Shroud, a ruinous fog which saw only to spread, rule and devour.

[06:13] Facing their downfall, ancients and human were united to forge the Flameborn. A flaming soul in a mortal body, nurtured amongst the ashes of a dying world.

[06:36] Now, your time has come. Awake. Nice. Cool. Okay.

[06:51] You are hungry. I can punch you. I can punch. Lady Carol with 35. Hey, Cole, take my mana for being the most awesome streamer on this purple-out Emberville

[07:04] hype. Appreciate you, buddy. Thank you for your 35. Also, Lorax, thank you so much again for your 138, my dude. You're absolutely right. We've got to get to that. You've slumbered for too long, Flameborn.

[07:17] The Rembrandt's Embervale has fallen, consumed by the Shroud. Now the enduring flame calls for you. Find a place in the ruined world and construct a flame altar to create shelter from the dark. Okay.

[07:30] I feel like it... is it zoomed out more? I don't know if it's zoomed out. Can I zoom it in? Oh, there it is. A vast world awaits you filled with secrets and peril. Press I to navigate the map and track your discovery.

[07:49] The beginning. Oh, God. From the flame and its murmurs. Pure light engulfs the knowledge of the ancient breed, protects it in a flaming core.

[08:05] Wisdom far beyond my own imagination. I could stare into the fire for hours, seeking answers, a whisper. But I hear none. despite possessing a voice

[08:18] it only speaks to those born from the flame a shame and I believe it would have quite enlightened conversation I love this game I think it's probably the only game that's ever done that

[08:31] that's awesome oh wait wait let's do like 65 and then camera distance I think is what I want are you there? oh yeah it's my set up I just want to be a little more connected

[08:45] That would even go a little bit longer. Godless. Well, thanks, man. I appreciate that. Definitely saw that. Thank you. Got a little chesticle over here.

[08:57] What's up? Take all. Got me a torky torch. Oh. Get some more bandages. Let's put bandages on four. Okay, I'm already realizing...

[09:09] What does tab do? What the... Is that like a lock-on system? Yeah. We're going to remove that. Errors 17 in my control scheme?

[09:23] I'm sorry, what? Delete is clear. Okay. Oh, control scheme valid. No, don't do that. Are you? No, stop. Stop. Escape.

[09:35] No, not escape. Delete. Ah! Okay. We're going to go up to here. Where is inventory? Inventory backpack. Remedy tab. There we go. Alright, do I need to like save it or anything?

[09:51] Conflicting bindings detected. Let me do a full reset. Okay. I'll put you there. Oh, so this is being used for a bunch of different stuff.

[10:06] Whoa, modality? Oh, that's cool. I want tab to be inventory so we're going to make this work does it highlight all of the instances where they're like

[10:21] oh my gosh that's so cool construction hammer menu attuning summoning staff construction hammer menu we're going to make it be yep

[10:33] I don't need inventory backpack to be beat we're going to delete that nice Okay. I think this might work great, actually. You can place items.

[10:45] Okay, perfect. Perfect. Good. And then B will just open up my build thing. That's perfect. Okay, great. Are we in a fresh start? We're in a brand new start, dude. We are in a brand new start. Just started.

[12:21] Interesting. Wait, so this is just pick up anything I walk up next to? Then. Really? Oh man. Well that's kind of awesome.

[12:37] Can I go through here? Aww, look at that. The bandages, nice.

[12:49] That's all that was in there though? Maybe more. More. Put stuff in backpack first? Uh, probably. I'll turn that on too. That'll make it so that it just doesn't fill up my hop bar, right?

[13:01] Yeah. Nice. There's not object highlighting in this game, is there?

[13:13] I'm missing a chest already. Oh, my God. 100% run ruined already? Hold on. I just started, chat. Okay.

[14:08] Rather mead in my cup, or my cup filled with rum, drink too much, rather than be done. Can't only have some, so share some round, drink too much, rather than drink one.

[14:20] Rather mead in my head and my head on the run Than my head on a pipe with none Get the rum and the mead Get the mead in the cup Get the cup to your head

[14:33] Drink up Okay. Man, I was all over the place. Let's put you there. That man had bars? That man did indeed have bars.

[14:49] Oh, I can't use... I can't use my torch and my sword? Oh.

[15:06] Your inner flame allows you to resist the Shroud, but if you linger you will perish. Oh Lord.

[15:20] What's my dodge? Oh shoot.

[15:36] The bombs were very effective. okay now where's my show five minutes to top okay so this just became a grenadier

[15:52] run I think you're just we're just gonna need all the bombs and I've whenever we see an enemy we just throw bombs at it until it dies rip and tear rip and blow up until it's done

[16:10] No. Oh. I'm getting healed up. Use explosives before you pass through the rubble. Explosive pot of all things thrown.

[16:22] Add explosive, oh, explosive barrels of detonating range. Okay. Whee! Nice.

[16:35] Okay. What's my build plan? I have no idea. I have no idea. My plan is to explore that. I want to try sword and board. I want to try magic.

[16:47] I want to try all that stuff. Can you look here? A little suspect. Collect new items.

[17:01] Oh. Ooh. What is?

[17:16] How do I go down? You are starving. Oh, God. I think I'm dead. Can I eat? Do I have anything I can eat? Oh, no.

[17:28] I didn't get the food fast enough, chat. I gotta get the food faster. Oh, man. Thank you, Ice Punch. I really appreciate it, bud.

[17:42] Wait. Oh, no, no. We're out of this right now. It was a good run. It was. I probably was supposed to get food out here somewhere and just missed it. I wouldn't be surprised.

[17:55] Dead in the tutorial? Dead in the tutorial. You got it, dude. Story of my life, man. I'm going to make a game one day called Dead in the Tutorial.

[18:07] No, Barry. We'll do that for, yeah, and for the record, just to, like, the Emberville demo and Emberville EA, these are starts to our journey, but, like, countdown timers and big release things and, you know,

[18:21] that's all going to be for 1.0. That's all later. Yeah, we're not doing most of the pomp and circumstance stuff for EA. We're going to save all that for the 1.0. Mm-hmm. EA is the starter pistol going off for Emberville.

[18:35] That's a good way to think about it. Mm-mm-mm-mm! Dead Mysterio sounds like a great title for Ko's autobiography. Uh-oh. Not wrong.

[18:53] Hi, cat! How are you, big dude? Oh, wait, are these enemies gonna be back up? Oh, they aren't. Oh, the game is merciful, chat.

[19:06] The game is merciful. Alright, I want to keep exploring, but I also realize I need to get to food. Um, because I'm a little poor in here.

[19:20] Hey, wait a second. Isn't that one of those things where I revive at if I die? Oh, no, that's my horse. Oh. Cool, that works. Oh, it all goes right back to my hop-on. Oh, look at this.

[19:33] Hell yeah. Uh, wait, I don't think I actually got that chef, did I? I'm going to make absolutely sure.

[19:52] Nice. Great. There we go. Oh, oh, oh. Can we go out this way?

[20:05] Oh, we can. Cool. Meow. Love it. All right, let's go find some food, dude. Food?

[20:18] That's a response one, right? Nice. Great. So at least if we die, we'll just pop up here. Man, we don't want to go. We don't want to reach the plane.

[20:31] Go right over there. Okay. Okay, we can do that. Oh. Is that a coiled sword?

[20:44] That looks suspiciously like a dark soul. Dude, auto-pickup is going to be so good.

[21:00] Build a flame altar. Cool.

[21:12] Okay. Now, I thought I made building B, but I think I have to do some basic crafting, right? Yeah, here we go.

[21:24] Flame altar. Three, or five stones. Okay. Can I just beat a rope? I have to pick it up. I have to pick it up, don't I? There we go. Okay, cool.

[21:40] Oh, crafty is V. Oh, cool. So my craft menu is going to be V and my build menu is going to be B. This would be very helpful. Grab all this stuff while we're here.

[21:52] Oh, that's enough. Great. Man, this is easy. oof

[22:05] alright let's pop you down right here our first little temporary base bam I don't know what that is you were not

[22:19] wait they voice act all the audio vlogs but not the main thing that's interesting um oh okay I want to hear

[22:31] Oh, I'm sure I will. I'm sure I will.

[22:52] Double jump. Yep. Yep. Oh.

[23:05] These are all probably going to be really important. Um. Turn into a spark inside the base to move freely through the air in first person while building.

[23:19] What? I'm sorry, what? What? Really Okay Well that kind of cool I didn know that was a thing that existed Let look at some stone and stuff We need to make a mine pick

[23:42] Pick extra four stones. There we go. Now, do I still have to pick up? Yeah, I have to harvest with E. Okay, it's not just going to automatically pick up everything around. That makes sense.

[23:57] Oh, wait, what was this? Oh, if there's a bunch nearby, it'll let me... Okay. Okay. Interesting. Did I play this before in 1.0? No.

[24:09] No, this is my first time playing this game in 1.0. We need more string. Any backpack needs a lot more string. Okay, good. We're working on this.

[24:22] Oh, we out here. Okay, sword's going to be first. Then we'll do mining pick. Then we'll do this. Healing, we're going to keep on four. over there if we need it. Do I have a sword? I do.

[24:35] Oh, we've got a better sword. There we go. Are you equipped? There we go. Get you guys on. We have to build a chest soon here.

[24:48] Alright. Hey, Kumo! Thanks for the sub over on YouTube, buddy. Thank you, thank you. Alright. So, going back to here. We need make a crafting hammer. Boom. Alright, for you... I want you to be...

[25:10] Oh, so we have to equip it and hit a button. Oh, okay. Well, that's not gonna work quite how I want it, but that's fine. It's like the shape you want to build with. So it's material you want to build with.

[25:27] is for something else. Okay. Hmm. Cool. Okay. Great. Now we have to travel through the shrouds for this.

[25:45] Wow. What does this want us to do? Oh, go to the ancient vault last map. Oh. Okay. So I think at this point we can just start, like, getting our basic base fields here? Oh, make some food. Yeah, yeah, let's make some food before I die. That's a really good call.

[26:12] How do we get food? Weren't there like berry bushes or something? There's food. It's just bad. Maybe we can go in the village.

[26:25] There are berries. I thought there were berries. Okay. Let's find some berries out here. Let's definitely get some food. Where is our food at the top left? Okay, I should go right now.

[26:38] Great. Chris Abbott. Good morning, Co. Morning, bud. I bought hot cinnamon rolls with extra icing for the mods. They're doing amazing work to keep the the Coziest community on track.

[26:50] Thank you. Okay, I see why you say that, and I see why you want that, but I think you need to understand the mods, they don't, they don't, the best way to say it is they don't get fed, yeah,

[27:08] so, but I really appreciate that, it's very nice of you. Yeah, I kept hitting, I kept hitting the alt key, I don't like the control key to dodge, I don't like the control key, that is not comfortable at all for me to hit the control key

[27:23] but I can hit the alt key in fact I found myself doing that multiple times let me see here we're gonna do... I'm gonna hit alt

[27:37] I'm gonna switch this to control okay I want to say this is more... what game did we just play like this recently? Control Resonance? One of those, or maybe one of those. Oh, Valor Mortis I think was also this game.

[27:51] Yeah, cool. You will turn the difficulty down later, just watch. Oh, I might. I absolutely might. I have no idea. We're just trying it out.

[28:03] Oh, food type already active. Okay. Um, I need to get my stuff. Get our stuff first, then we're gonna take those wolves out.

[28:20] Also, I think, isn't there a parry mechanic in this game? Do I have to unlock a skill for that? But I'm pretty sure I can, like, right click and parry or something.

[28:40] Okay. oh you have to have a shield I'd like to try to kill the shield again

[28:52] BAM! gonna make me some wolf sticks oh yeah

[29:04] hmmm all right just getting all this stuff as we come in we're gonna start building some basic trade skills stuff right getting all this going come out and start

[29:20] harvesting this this wooden stuff too. Can I get this down? No.

[29:38] Craft blocks at the workbench. Oh, okay. Okay. That's what I was going to do. We're going to go to... Escape does not close this window?

[29:52] Oh, I hate that. Can we change that? I hate when escape doesn't just close the window you're on. But maybe this will let us do that. I know it's B again.

[30:04] I know it's B. I know. I know. maybe we can add it to B? oh you don't need a 4x4 for the 4, you can just use 4x1?

[30:16] oh, thank you, ok that's cool uh, let's see so we need to put down the workbench, we're gonna do that here? yes, drill U

[30:28] drill U down control is there we go switching my bar, how do I rotate? R great

[30:42] Grab some more hair Wonderful Uh, oh my gosh, look at all this stuff. What is this a camera? That's cool Um, we need to get some shroud spores and string for this guy. What about armor and stuff?

[30:58] I don't think we're doing any of that here. We make some rough wood slots We're building out some stuff. Oh, a fireplace. Oh, that's just for comfort, though. That's not to make food, is it?

[31:12] Whoops. We also need a rake with logs and strings. I'm glad it takes animal fur and shroud wood. Okay. Oh, you can make food on that. Perfect. Great.

[31:26] Oh, we can make all of our armor and stuff in here that I want to do. Excellent. I think some old wood logs for that, that would be perfect.

[31:41] Do we want a staff and a wand? Probably. Oh, and daggers, too. We can make all this stuff. Excellent.

[31:57] Let's go explore the nearby village. Even get some stuff. oh hell yeah here we go

[33:53] Hmm. Let's put stuff down in the rain.

[34:09] Oh, Red Dragon Rock. Gear color doesn't necessarily denote better by the way. Keep an eye out on actual damage and other stats on each piece of gear. Color coding mostly has to do with upgrade ability.

[34:23] Okay. Appreciate it, man. Uh, Kumo! Super chat. Oh, I finally got you, Liv. Totally beastly of me, of course.

[34:36] I am literally binge-watching your Dune Awakening playlist. Are you going back to it after the movie release? I kind of want to check out the 1.0 at some point, but I have no idea when that's going to be, man. I don't. Yeah.

[44:50] What is uh, oh N. So it's 6 stamina, 4 regen and 20 health, 4 health regen. Hell yeah dude.

[45:03] Love the regen. I kind of want to do a range class, I'm not sure which one. I want to have a range option.

[45:20] Hell yeah dude, that feels real good. Jeez.

[45:36] Do you have more skill points? I don't think so. Captain's Journal, day six of mid-year, 512 DA. The raiders have besieged us these past two days, attacking from the bridge.

[45:53] Their eyes... such madness. Wait... OH GOD! Boom.

[46:14] We've withheld so far, but only just. Love it. We may not survive the next assault. I've ordered to rig the pass with our last munitions. If those scavengers return, we are prepared.

[46:29] Captain Off-Ride. Okay, so chat, at this point in the game, is there anything I'm doing with old weapons and stuff?

[46:42] Oh, salvage. We just salvaged. Oh, fantastic. This game makes it real easy. Oh, we can't do it on this one. We can't salvage the shield. Why can't we salvage the shield?

[46:57] That would be easy. Oh, you can't salvage crafted items.
