The Veil Shrouded: Required Quest Gear
Simply carrying the Cowl and Ragged Cloth in your inventory will not progress the quest. Both pieces must be visibly equipped on your character model with your face obscured while landing kills.
Make this your setup checkpoint: equip both items, take down one named Shrouded enemy, and check your quest log. If your count increases, your attire is properly registered and you can safely continue farming.
| Equipment Check | Required Setup | What to Inspect |
|---|---|---|
| Headwear | Cowl equipped visibly | Ensure headpiece is actively equipped, not sitting in your bag |
| Chestwear | Ragged Cloth equipped visibly | Confirm Ragged Cloth is equipped and visible on your character |
| Face Coverage | Face covered while fighting | Check that your character's face is obscured by your headgear |
| Active Quest | The Shrouded Side Quest | Ensure the Shrouded quest is accepted in your quest tracker |
| Target Name | Defeat 100 named Shrouded | Only enemies named 'Shrouded' count toward this total |
The 100 Shrouded Kill Task
Only enemies explicitly named 'Shrouded' contribute to this 100-kill requirement. Standard dungeon mobs, Gladers, or boss minions do not count toward this counter.
Establish a repeatable loop where Shrouded spawn. If you swap gear during combat or exploration, quickly re-verify that your Cowl and Ragged Cloth remain visibly equipped before engaging your next target.
Equip Quest Attire
Put on the Cowl and Ragged Cloth, confirming your character's face is visibly covered.
Check Active Side Quest
Confirm that The Shrouded Side Quest appears in your quest log with its counter ready.
Test One Qualifying Kill
Defeat one Shrouded enemy and verify that your quest log counter increases by one.
Complete 100 Kills
Maintain your equipped attire and farm Shrouded spawns until the counter reaches 100.

Troubleshooting Uncounted Shrouded Kills
If your counter stops incrementing, pause your run immediately and check your clothing and target name. Verifying your setup takes seconds and prevents wasted farming runs.
| Observed Issue | Possible Cause to Check | Action to Take |
|---|---|---|
| Counter remains at 0 | Target is not a Shrouded mob | Confirm the enemy overhead title explicitly says 'Shrouded' |
| Kills stop progressing | Face is partially uncovered | Re-equip the Cowl and verify your face is visibly concealed |
| No progress registered | Quest gear is in backpack | Equip both Cowl and Ragged Cloth into active armor slots |
| Tracking wrong counter | Different quest selected | Open your quest journal and check the Shrouded Side Quest count |
| Counter reaches 100 | Objective completed | Proceed to return to the quest giver |
Return to the Quest Giver
Once your counter reaches 100/100, return to the quest giver stationed near Camp Zero by the Shrouded waypoint to report your progress.
Speak with the NPC and follow the on-screen dialogue and quest prompts. Community guides demonstrate returning to this spot near Camp Zero to complete the interaction; follow the NPC's direct instructions in your game session rather than guessing additional requirements or triggering unnecessary character deaths.
Shrouded Passives: Triple Jump & Speed Modifiers
Shrouded provides noticeable aerial agility through Thrice-Risen's third jump. This extra jump allows you to reach higher ledges and create distance against ground-based enemies.
Weigh the -10% damage modifier against the +10% attack speed and +10% movement speed when planning your build. Shrouded's advantage is evasion and quick weapon tempo rather than maximizing single-hit damage.
| Passive Trait | In-Game Effect | Combat Application |
|---|---|---|
| Thrice-Risen | Grants a third aerial jump | Provides additional vertical height and airborne mobility |
| Hollowed (Speed) | +10% movement speed | Assists with spacing and repositioning around aggressive mobs |
| Hollowed (Attack Speed) | +10% attack speed | Increases basic weapon attack speed |
| Hollowed (Damage) | -10% overall damage | Weigh this damage reduction against the mobility and attack speed bonus |
Quest Progression and Stylist Considerations
The 100-kill quest with Cowl and Ragged Cloth equipped is the documented route to obtain Shrouded. While some player discussions cite random reroll chances, Shrouded did not appear in the recorded ten-race creation distribution.
Save your reroll resources for other builds and work through the questline if you want this race.
Quick answers
Do kills count if Cowl and Ragged Cloth are in my inventory?
No. Both the Cowl and Ragged Cloth must be visibly equipped on your character model with your face covered.
Can I defeat any dungeon monster to progress the quest?
No. The quest specifically requires 100 kills against enemies named 'Shrouded'.
Does Thrice-Risen grant a resurrection or extra life?
No. Thrice-Risen grants a third aerial jump while in mid-air. It does not provide an extra life or revive mechanic.
