With substantial crafting woven into this survival game, certain recipes require considerable effort to unlock and obtain. Here’s a guide on acquiring Nitrate in Enshrouded.
Enshrouded: How to get Nitrate
Obtaining Nitrate in Enshrouded involves delving into explosive crafting, as it serves as an alchemical acid for creating explosive substances throughout your journey in Embervale. If you’re at the beginning of your adventure, crafting this material might not be an immediate need or within your means.
To access Nitrate crafting, you must first unlock the Alchemist and subsequently the Alchemist Lab. However, this progression occurs later in the game when you venture into the Nomad Highlands. If you’ve only unlocked the Blacksmith or Hunter, there’s a considerable journey ahead. Follow the main missions until you reach the point of unlocking the lab.
As you explore deeper into Enshrouded, discovering new areas introduces more rare resources for collection. This is why uncovering Nitrate takes time, as the resources constituting it are not available in the starting areas. Nevertheless, to prepare for its crafting or when you’re ready, here are the materials needed and where to find them.
