You can find several in Longkeep, the camp just outside the cave you exited shortly after starting the game. As you enter the wild and explore the world, you’ll spot more that’ll give you resin.

How to Make an Axe in Enshrouded

To chop down trees, you’ll first need an axe, requiring the following resources:

  • Twigs (4)
  • Stone (1)
  • String (1)

You’ll find stones on the ground, with twigs harvestable from nearby bushes and string crafted using plant fiber. You’ll naturally gain plant fiber as you search for twigs.

Once you have each material, look for the axe option in your crafting menu and make one to chop down some trees and gather wood logs, resin, and other resources.
