Ancestor's Weapons - Enshrouded Guide - IGN

Ancestor's Weapons is an Enshrouded quest that sends you into the snowy slopes of the Albaneve Summits to track down a mysterious and powerful weapon. If you want to get your hands on Gunther's ancestor's weapon but you're not sure where to find it, you'll find everything you need in this Enshrouded guide.

How to Start the Ancestor's Weapon Quest

The Ancestor's Weapon quest is given to you by Gunther Galeforth, an NPC that you rescue during the Escaping From the Quarry quest in the Albaneve Summits. After securing Gunther Galeforth's soul, head back to your base and summon him. The Ancestor's Weapon quest is one of the first ones you get after speaking to Gunther at your base, so talk to him to hear the clues before setting off toward the lost treasure.

The weapon you're looking for is hidden in an abandoned crypt deep in the Albaneve Summits, very close to the place where you found Gunther Galeforth in the first place. You have to summon Gunther to get the quest, though, so you likely won't be near the Balefire Garrison "Windward" anymore. Therefore, your first step is to head back in that direction.

Start by fast traveling to the Albaneve Summits Ancient Spire and soaring off the northeastern side. Drop down on the path, and start following it. You'll pass through an enshrouded area, the Gateway Outpost "Alba", the eventually find yourself in the Forge of Obsidia.

The Forge of Obsidia is actually the location of another quest, A Blast Furnace for the Blacksmith . Defeat enemies inside the main forge room until one of them drops the Bellows item. Tuck that away in your pack and use it to craft a Blast Furnace for the Blacksmith once you get back to your base!

For now, continue through the Forge by taking the doorway to the right and following that up a set of stairs. Turn left at the top of the stairs to get back outside again. Turn left as soon as you exit the building and continue following the path until you reach a dead-end.

Take a closer look at the cliff on your right to discover a cave entrance and a new path. Keep following that path through the cave to pop out the other side and take the path on the left to reach a high ledge.

Jump off the ledge and glide in a southwestern direction. The crypt is nestled in the side of the cliff on the other side of the ridge.

Now that you're at the crypt, the treasure is all but yours! You do have to find it down there, though. Start by defeating the spiders in your path and take the first path on the left.

Then turn right and follow the path about halfway up the hall before turning left to find a golden coffin that you can loot. Seize your spoils, head back out in to the crypt hall, and turn left.

Continue following the halls until you reach a room filled with spike traps. Sneak along the very edge of the room to avoid the traps and head through the door on the opposite side. Follow the halls to find yourself at another golden coffin that contains the weapon you were looking for: the Ancestral Star , a two-handed club. Collect it to complete the Ancestor's Weapons quest and earn yourself a new two-handed weapon!
