Enshrouded: How to Make Goo for Flame Level 4 [Full Guide]

To make goo in Enshrouded, players must rescue the Alchemist craftsman, construct a Mortar using stone and wood, and grind together one portion of dirt, one shroud spore, and one bug dust harvested from forest insects. According to verified reports from Polygon, unlocking goo is the critical gating milestone required to upgrade your Flame to Level 4, which effectively purges lethal red fog barriers across Embervale and extends total Shroud exploration timers. After summoning the Alchemist using the Summoning Staff, players receive the Mortar questline, sending them into ruined cellars to recover grinding stone tools. Once the Mortar is installed at your home base, the recipe reveals itself under the Alchemist crafting menu. Bug dust requires defeating critter nests in the Springlands, while Shroud spores drop from wandering infected humanoid enemies. Shroud liquid can also be harvested from giant bulbous mushrooms found inside misty hollows. Much like mastering technical survival loops highlighted in [Resident Evil 7 Dev Secrets & Last of Us Link [Confirmed]](/news/resident-evil-7-development-secrets-confirmed), mastering resource routes early saves dozens of expedition hours. Securing these components allows teams to immediately activate Flame Sanctum upgrades, bypass environmental hazards, and secure tier-four weapon chests hidden behind previously impassable regional checkpoints without taking deadly environmental mist damage.
