Players eager to raid Queen Pikemead’s tomb in Enshrouded need to locate all four lock switches inside Mistbury Catacombs, as detailed in a new Game Rant walkthrough for the Queen’s Tomb quest. This puzzle guards the tomb, so missing a switch means missing out on the rewards.
Several outlets have recently covered the catacombs. IGN features a dedicated Queen’s Tomb entry in its Enshrouded guide, while GameLuster has shared a walkthrough on clearing the Mistbury Catacombs. With three sources tackling this dungeon, it’s clear that players are facing challenges.
The setup is straightforward: four switches and one sealed tomb. The real challenge lies in finding all four. Enshrouded encourages players to explore its dungeon spaces, and overlooking a switch is often why someone finds themselves at a locked door with no way forward.
Since the guides clearly map out each switch, it’s best to follow one step by step instead of relying on memory or trial and error. Before committing to a route, match your progress with the guides.
Timing is crucial for Keen Games. Enshrouded launched its 1.0 release after an extensive Early Access period and currently boasts 102,380 concurrent players. The ongoing interest in walkthroughs for mid-game content shows that many players are well into the game, not just testing the waters in the initial hours.

Community Pulse
Recent feedback is harsher than the 87% lifetime score indicates. From the ten signals we tracked, the overall mood leans mostly negative. One Steam reviewer cautioned: “DO NOT BUY IF YOU INTEND TO PLAY SOLO! Hollow Halls are a mechanic that is not optional, and locks several items behind it.” Another user expressed frustration with performance, stating the game “genuinely somehow runs worse” after the 1.0 update, even on upgraded hardware. This small sample highlights the main issues: solo accessibility and optimization, rather than the dungeon puzzles.
What To Watch
- Performance patches: Complaints about frame rates since the 1.0 update are common. Keep an eye on Keen Games’ patch notes for updates.
- Solo-player balance: Some reviewers feel that certain locked content assumes players are in groups. Adjustments for solo players would tackle the biggest complaint in recent feedback.
- Player retention: With 102,380 concurrent players, the game is maintaining a solid audience. A decline in this number could indicate if guide-driven mid-game engagement translates to later content.
