I Exploited This Game's Entire World to Create Infinite Chaos - Enshrouded

hey there it's Josh welcome back to

Let's game it out we're checking out in

shrouded today and yes I see this

message right here your GPU driver is

outdated please update for an ideal game

experience yeah we could do that or I

could just hit play oh boy it's

character creator time which one of

these short kings and queens do we want

to play as we're going to start with

this guy because I want to keep the

dream alive that we can look this good

when we're his age now let's see which

one of these hairstyles screams midlife

crisis the hardest I'm tempted to go

with this one or even maybe this one but

I think we all know we're going with

this one that's not even midlife crisis

that's just looking good and

unfortunately we don't have that many

color options so I guess Pure White it

is and if you're going to give us beard

options of course I'm going to choose

the kind of overgrown gross mustache who

wants to see that top lip I don't and

for their character name Lord mustache

Von suffering oh that doesn't fit Lord

mustache it is so our journey begins

with us waking up in this weird little

chamber at which point we can gleefully

escape and here we are on planet and

shrouded I mean I'm pretty sure that's

not actually what it's called it's just

what I'm going to call it see this guy

over here they wanted to learn the real

lore of this game like what the world

name is and the lore was just too deep

and no thank you we're already too old

we're not going to let that happen to us

or our ABS we can read their book though

see what did I tell you it's a bunch of

lore quick run run as fast as you can

don't let anything stop

[Music]

you oh except maybe death well I guess

now we get to see what happens when you

die oh okay we just come back to life

well thank goodness for that anyway as I

was saying welcome to the world of been

shrouded a game where I don't learn my

lesson the first time and we see if we

can jump down here without dying but I

feel like if we hit this just right we

can land on like the side of a slope or

something and survive oh or not okay you

know what I'm pretty sure what the game

wants me to do is go into that cave

there and then pop out right there oh

yeah see there you go did you see that

little thing fly over there and light up

that Lantern pretty sure that's the

tutal tutal telling me this is the right

way to go which means we won't be doing

that at all instead we're going to try

and see if we can find an alternate way

around like I bet if we just go over

here hop on over here to this little

spot and then jump on this ow and then

we'll just slide on down this and we're

home free we did it there we go made it

down without taking that structure over

there and look at that I've made some

friends I'm sure if I just keep running

everything's going to turn out okay oh

my goodness and it has they've left me

behind Okay so first things first you

see how there's like a camp here we got

to do something like that I mean not

just like this this isn't our cam nor do

I want it to be I mean after all I was

going to steal their things but G it's

more lore that it wants me to read it's

my personal Kryptonite quick run from it

as fast as we can anyway as we can see

this used to be what looks like a town

which is fine by me because they're not

going to need these wood supplies

anymore and I certainly will not to

mention these barrels that are just in

my way and apparently are hiding the

most sacred of treasures churning butter

just kidding that's not for us take that

all right let's see what this Treasure

Chest has for for us oh good items for

killing anyway we're just going to run

around and rans Sack this place and I

could be concerned that there's a fire

still lit indicating that there's

probably somebody still around but why

would I worry when I can just punch the

campfire to death oh wow and nature

immediately reasserted itself and no

lore I won't read you but I will break

the table you're on I can't break this

can

I oh well there you go and now that

we've broken down everything not nailed

down what the heck is this wo wo wo

turns out there's some bad guys in this

game that really want a piece of us

that's okay we can punch them too yeah

and that's when I noticed that weird

Cloud we walked into I think that means

we're in the Shroud or the enshrouded or

it's enshrouded or I'm enshrouded

whatever something is enshrouded that's

what matters most and it looks like this

is where some of the bad guys live and

give us stuff like shroud spores a

strange kind of energy it appears

unstable for now but perhaps it can be

refined and that's great and all but I'd

rather refine this right now a rusty

short sword anyway as you can see we can

only spend a certain amount of time in

the Shroud and it's even kind enough to

remind us to leave but of course we're

not going to and instead we're just

going to wait and see what

happens oh yeah see there you go it's

the Shroud and it's consumed us your

shroud protection depleted remember to

let it recover outside of the shroud I'm

sorry that I wasn't paying close enough

attention to my shroud refractory period

so yeah it sounds like we should

definitely limit our time in the Shroud

although something's telling me that at

some points we'll have to go through it

call it a hunch anyway the next order of

business is we need to find a nice place

to set up our base and and I think I see

the perfect spot over there somewhere so

I know I just said the thing about not

going through the Shroud but we're going

to go through the Shroud after all we've

got five minutes and all I need to do is

just run by the bad guys and just like

that we're through the Shroud and look

at all this beautiful space for setting

up a base I don't know about you but

this nice shaded area seems good to me

as soon as we clear out some of the Riff

raft like this wolf that appears to be

barking at a tree well so be it sorry

this is my land now I'm sure it

understands yeah that's the spirit thank

you for the blessing okay so in order to

get started we need to go to crafting

here's the basic setup we need these

Essentials a flame alter a workbench and

a construction hammer and you'll notice

they're all highlighted red because if

we click on them oh but of course we

don't have the required stone or in the

case of this workbench we need wood logs

and string well we know what it's time

for then the collectathon give me this

for twigs and plant fiber which after

grabbing enough of it allows us to make

string out of the plant fiber great and

the resource collection continues Stone

of course we can get out of regular

Stone like this after punch ing it a

bunch and the stone just kind of Falls

right off it what a deal oh boy and a

recipe unlocked strike that multiple

recipes unlocked like the ability to

build an axe which of course is for

cutting trees or a pickaxe which is used

for cutting rocks well don't look too

upset about your new pickaxe get to

mining there that's the good stuff oh

and what a curious border we have now

what does this do oh is this doing what

I think it's doing am I carving into the

ground I am carving into the ground well

this is just great oh boy do I love me

need some terraforming any game that

allows this really has my needs in mind

but let's not get too excited we're not

going to tear up the entire Earth just

yet because not only do we need Stone

but we have to chop all these trees down

first well have to is probably an

overstatement but there's always

something a little satisfying about a

little deforestation and before you know

it this looks like this see that's much

better look at all this detail we didn't

even know was here you know like this

rock we can see better and this little

Cliff side oh and also this giant thing

over here who could have known that was

just sitting there hiding from us anyway

with all of that out of the way it's

time to build our base so first things

first is we need to build that flame

alter because as the description says

that's what lets us Mark our home so

after a quick crafting of that let's see

where are we going to place this thing

now it doesn't want to let me shove this

inside this hole but something tells me

it's more about me needing to clear

space for it so let's even out the space

a little bit okay and there we go I sure

hope this is enough I guess we're about

to find out oh yeah there we go fits

like a glove and now the game wants me

to commune with the flame as you do here

let me break this down for you blah blah

story blah blah ancient vaults blah blah

one beckons blah blah space bar oh thank

God it added a marker to my map I love

not having to remember anything I did

notice something kind of silly though if

you exit out of the game and then load

back in well wouldn't you know it all of

the trees are back wow how lucky am I a

whole Forest to cut down again well now

that has me wondering something if I

just go back over here and chop down one

of these trees and then I go back into

the menu and I go over to the thing ofab

Bob and then I hit play again and then

we load back into the game ah yes there

it is our magical tree friend is back oh

I think I know what might be happening

here so if we switch to our pickaxe this

border appears on the ground which as we

know from placing our flame thingy that

this border indicates the edge of our

base so I'm willing to bet if we make a

hole right here and then if we also make

a hole right here I'm going to assume

that when we reload our game one of

these is going to be here and one isn't

okay well there you go mystery solved it

looks like the only stuff with

permanence is the stuff inside of our

borders so wait what happens with with

something like this where some of it's

inside but some of it isn't let's just

Hammer the whole thing down and see what

happens yeah there we go a little more

like that and definitely isn't like a

gross eyesore now anyway let's reload

and see what happens oh well there you

go and also it looks like we can see the

exact place where our base starts and

stops we can also see that there's like

a ceiling above us so it doesn't look

like we can actually go that high in the

air or presumably that low I mean I

assume we're about to find out and find

the lower limits of our base yep there's

the line that's how far down we can go

which goes down pretty far by the way

how far you might wonder oh pretty far

see there's the fire thingy and here is

the hollowed out husk of the lower

limits of our base now I didn't dig it

all up but you can see that the

boundaries are ever present but I got to

hand it to our little flame thingy it

does certainly give us a lot of space to

work with and you're probably wondering

how do we get back to the flame alter

well that's easy we just take the death

Express over to it TAA easy peasy and

now if we ever have to do some communing

this is the way we can do it it which

I'm sure we will be doing from time to

time because I see options like

upgrading the Altar and extending its

building range as well as strengthening

the flame which gives us fun benefits

like how many altars we can have active

as well as I guess different kinds of

shrouds we can go through how long we

can spend in the Shroud and then

whatever this fourth thing is I'm

already tired of reading and then all we

have to do is find this random stuff and

then when we're done being intimate with

the flame you might next wonder how do

we get down also

easy oh wait maybe not so easy well

surely there's a spot nearby that we can

hit that won't kill us somewhere okay

plan B first we're going to access the

Altar and then we're going to extinguish

this Flame extinguishing the flame will

reset the currently protected area after

some time or with the next start of the

game that's the plan and now we'll have

ourselves another leap of faith of a

certain kind okay now we're back at the

beginning and now all we need to do is

just run all the way back to where we

were it couldn't be more simple after

all it's just a haunted jaunt away okay

and here we are again and would you look

at that nature is trying to reassert

itself I don't know why I thought the

flame alter would still be there in the

middle but whatever it's not like we

can't just Place another one somewhere

in fact let's make it weird for now

we'll just put one right here which of

course is going to alter the boundaries

of our base now which only extends that

far actually you know what I bet we can

make this work I bet we can get it back

into the center there all we're going to

need now is our construction Hammer can

only be used within the range of a flame

alter works for me okay now that we have

our wild glowing Hammer it's time to go

into our wild glowing build mode look at

all this fun stuff we can build walls

and shapes and roofs and stairs and

windows and whatever although right now

I'm just interested in this making a

single wall block which let us just go

ahead and place one right here oh

missing materials craft blocks at the

work bench okay if you say so we'll go

ahead and do that I guess which let's

see where can we place this that is the

most weird looking maybe up against this

rock will do let's see oh yeah there we

go that's exactly how we want our

workbench now we can make blocks like

these rough stone blocks so let's go

ahead and craft some okay much better

here we go okay so we placed one and

we're going to place another and then

we're going to jump on this and place

another and another actually wait what

am I doing that's exactly what this

other stuff is for let's see let's find

a building piece that really speaks to

us yeah here we go this terrain tool for

making a little puck excellent and I can

just put this anywhere I want that's

much better look at that now I can just

jump on this and then make another one

and just keep doing this all the way to

the CER just got to expand the area a

little bit more there we go flame alter

number two ready to go now we can go

back over here to the first one and

disable it give it a quick extinguish

stare straight into its eyes until it

evaporates right in front of you and now

that we've got that squared away let's

get to making our base down there and

all that beauty of course we're older

and wiser now and we know if we just

jump off we'll die good thing we can

make crappy stairs to take care of this

let's see we'll take this and we'll just

rotate it like that and shove it into

the Earth and then take another one and

do the same whoops ah well it still

works that's all that matters and then

we'll just Place another one and another

one and so on and so forth what a master

class of architecture and now I'm hungry

for waffles for some reason okay so now

that we're down here let's get the

basics set up and for that we're going

to start with a workbench which we're

going to place in a weird way just like

that yeah you know what actually why

stick with one after all it looks like

I'm going to be using this thing quite a

bit so why not build a couple more of

these so I never have to go far to

access one and let's see one right there

yeah here we go a little more like this

finally I won't have to go far to use a

workbench there's always going to be one

conveniently in my grasp and now that we

got that little problem out of the way

let's go ahead and access literally any

of these now let's see what other kinds

of stuff we can make ooh beds fireplaces

illumination doors we love those yes

please give me a couple of these ooh and

building those unlocked new recipes now

we can do stuff like bowls and cups I

see we can really decorate our home or

whatever we want to call this I'm just

glad we have options oh when we should

probably establish a fence around

everything right we don't want to

accidentally keep falling into our home

casm do we oh what a phenomenal job I'm

already doing everything is already so

even and lovely look it's all for show

anyway who cares uh-oh we can't actually

build over there oh well I guess this

side just doesn't get off fence and

actually neither does this side that's

fine the only thing that's actually

going to matter is this the front door

ah look at that home sweet home just a

hop skip and a stumble down here and

we're back into the world of desks and

what home is complete without a nice

comfy crude mattress and I don't know

about you but I love to be sleeping on a

mattress on a near 45° incline sleeping

on the downhill slope so that all the

blood rushes to my head see look at this

if this isn't Comfort I don't know what

is okay but enough screwing around we

clearly have a mission to do called

finding the sleeping Survivor which I'm

assuming is this chesty fellow right

here find the sleeping Survivor marked

on your map you will have to venture

through the Shroud okay so let's see

this is us and I guess this this is

where we need to go no problem I'm sure

we're ready oh and can't forget to lock

up bye home we'll see you soon and now

to let my brain go on full autopilot

until we get to the marker completely

ignoring every landmark that's probably

interesting and instead we're just going

to walk right into this which I'm sure

is very friendly pardon me everybody

coming through okay we're here hey bad

guys can you just hold on a quick second

okay well if you won't do that I'm just

going to lead you back to my base let's

go that's the spirit come this way now

just follow me into the woods hold on I

got to unlock the door real quick come

on in my home is your

home okay it looks like I got them to

fall down and now they're all

surprisingly docile just staring at

walls over here okay where was I ah how

nice it is to come in here and be able

to wander around completely unhindered

okay let's see what do we got oh God

more reading can I just not do that well

the piece of paper's gone so let's go

with yes and I tried to get rid of the

rest of the evidence but it doesn't seem

to want to break something tells me we

need to go to the big glowy thingy hello

what do we have

here hello hello no I guess we we did it

you retrieved a Survivor place them in

your home with a summoning staff well

that was easy okay and back here at the

homestead I guess we need to make like a

summoning wand or something oh and how

nice the bad guys showed themselves out

oh there it is just sitting there

waiting for me well that's convenient I

love it I wish every wand in every game

looked kind of like a spaceship okay

let's see how do we use this thing tab

to ready the summoning staff oh I see we

get to actually just summon them well

had I known we were going to have guests

I would have cleaned up a little bit

don't worry buddy we'll make you a nice

little room although I like that until I

do I just have an entire man on my quick

bar okay so let's just go ahead and pick

up this table don't you worry buddy I'm

going to build you something by hand

yeah there we go a nice little room that

is definitely not just a nice little

prison okay buddy you ready for your new

home your Palace of misery and suffering

here you go well he seems nice whoo whoa

what is this I didn't bring you back

here to talk to me and I don't think I

need you to help me prepare I mean look

at me and my no armor or clothes all

right fine let's see what he has to say

except for the part where I actually

can't talk to him well I forgot to make

myself a door so I guess I'll make a

doorway now hello where were we hey yeah

I already got that part okay so I guess

this opens up new crafting menus we can

do stuff like make a forge to open up

even more stuff and yeah there's

resources and new options for other

stuff but obviously I'm most excited

about these dishes finally I can feel

domesticated with all metal interior

designing well I'm so glad I rescued you

hope you're comfortable cuz I'm covering

you back up I'll leave one square open

so you can look at me pathetically okay

let's go out and oh you got more to say

what do you want now I think it's about

time you face your fears and clear the

Shroud out of one of them Elixir Wells

what did I just say about conversing

with me all right fine hold on let me

get back in there so I can talk to you

I'm just too lazy to break down the wall

again so I'm just going to make a thing

out of these things okay here here I am

again what do you want okay he really

likes to chat so I'll just give you the

highlights seek The Elixir well raise

the root set this evil Ablaze I'm

counting on you I'm so sorry you thought

that was a good idea thanks for your Ted

Talk I'll be leaving now okay so once

once again this is us right here and it

looks like it wants us to go to this

area right here to this thing called The

Elixir well well sounds good to me I

feel like we're ready for this adventure

no armor no weapons no problem and this

looks like it's going to be fun

unsurprisingly it's down there in the

Shroud but before we do I'm kind of

curious to something can I break these

things I don't know what other purpose

they serve surely if I hit it enough

something will happen right oh well

there you go I'm sure it was here for

thousands of years but well we happened

anyway off to Adventure and once again

we got to make sure to be quick about it

cuz we have a limited amount of time in

the Shroud stopping of course to waste

our time and beat up these things anyway

onward to the elixer well hi there

pardon me yeah just coming through oh

and look just my luck there's a return

Beacon here which not only replenished

our shroud timer thingy but if we die

it'll respawn us there don't follow me

okay bad guys okay thank you I'm glad we

have an agreement oh my goodness this

looks so mysterious oh and you know what

something tells me that is

important what the hell was that you

said you wouldn't follow me that'll

teach you I guess hello hello who's this

guy just chilling out over here a crap

oh I see he has a name it's fell Thunder

brute what a stud so this guy clearly

wants to kill us can't imagine why but I

think I have an idea how to take care of

him so here's what I'm learning you see

the ground we're on right now if I try

to hit it with our pickaxe it doesn't

appear to do anything but over here this

looks to be dirt and this I can affect

and I'm sure you can see where this is

going right I bet we don't have to deal

with this guy at all if he can't find us

so let's see if we can get to that thing

by just going under him we are still of

course going to have to contend with

this timer here but that's okay we just

die and then we just reappear back up

here and everything is just fine and

resume what we were doing okay where

were we okay I think we're getting

closer I got a good feeling about this

oh yeah there it is still not close

enough though it's right there and he's

oh no it's not an exact science but it's

close enough okay fingers crossed this

feels much better oh yeah there it is

right above us and now now let's see if

we can get to it without being detected

and we'll just break a little space

right underneath it and then sneak down

in here uh-oh somebody's mad Mr Thunder

brute is up there trying to hit me and I

keep seeing the thing above me shaking

like jello every time he hits it which

makes me wonder is he doing damage to

the thing he's trying to protect I guess

we could just wait this out and see

maybe he'll take care of this problem

for me okay I've been watching him whail

on this thing for a while now and I

think it's probably the case that he's

not doing any damage that's fine we'll

just do the hard work for him okay yeah

this is going to be great and isn't

going to take any time ow by that I mean

I got to be really careful oh thank you

for the comfortable deathbed okay where

was I and hit again and again finally

found an angle where he's not going to

attack me and give it a final whack and

well that's that oh and he looks pretty

bummed out too okay well thanks I'll be

leaving now no don't worry I'll show

myself out well that was easy I sure

hope all of our battles are just that

harrowing hey jail guy I'm back and then

he says to me stop your procrastinating

climb that ancient Spire in the distance

to reveal important landmarks what do

you mean this thing well okay let's see

what we got what do you think we're

going to find inside amazing riches or

oh just a Teleport pad okay well be me

up where are we going uh-oh I sense

puzzles and that's exactly what it is

except I usually take this time to find

all the Antiques and break them look if

they didn't want me to break all the

nice stuff they shouldn't have left it

lying around ooh and a treasure chest

which I'm sure is filled with amazing

riches like this wand that I'm not going
