The Enshrouded Blackmire Spire has its entrance on the west side, and you climb it as part of the Follow the Melody main quest. Inside, you ride purple mushroom launchers, jump past fireball traps and dodge electric cannons. Then you press two buttons just below the top floor, commune with the Flame and glide to the Sunken Ancient City. There, you press three buttons to open the central door and awaken the Bard, whose name is Valory. As of the latest update, I could not confirm the silver and gold chest locations your keywords mention.

What the Blackmire Spire Is
The Blackmire Spire is one of the Ancient Spires in Enshrouded. You climb each one to reach the top floor, commune with the Flame and unlock the next part of the story. This one sits in the Blackmire, a swampy region far north of the Springlands spire.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Quest | Follow the Melody, a main quest |
| Entrance | West side of the spire |
| Recommended level | About 15, according to one guide |
| Reward | 1,200 XP and a portrait icon |
| NPC | Valory the Bard |
| Next area | Sunken Ancient City |
Two guides I read cover different versions of the game. One treats the Blackmire as part of an early update, while the other covers Update 8, and the game has since reached version 1.0. Therefore, details such as enemy levels may differ in your game. Trust your quest markers if they disagree with a guide.
How to Reach the Blackmire Spire Entrance
First, you need to reach the Blackmire itself. The Follow the Melody quest starts by sending you far north of the Springlands Ancient Spire. The entrance to the Passage to the Blackmire sits inside the Shroud, so you must forge a path through it.
Here is the route:
- Head north. Travel far north of the Springlands spire.
- Enter the Shroud. Find the Passage to the Blackmire inside it.
- Reach the spire. Follow the quest marker through the swamp.
- Go around to the west side. One guide says the entrance is “tucked away” there.
- Watch for flyers. Giant bees and purple flying balls guard the approach.
Before you go, bring good gear. One guide saw level 15 enemies in the passage, so aim for at least that level. Also, completing the Revelwood Ancient Spire first makes travel to the Blackmire easier, according to another guide.
Blackmire Spire Climb: Steps and Puzzles
The climb has three kinds of obstacles. Here is how to handle each one.
Purple Mushroom Launchers
Your keywords call these “purple bounce flowers.” The guide I could read describes them as purple mushroom launchers instead, so I cannot confirm the name. Either way, they carry you to higher platforms.
- Step on one to launch upward.
- Do not glide. The guide says to resist the urge.
- Move to the next mushroom to keep climbing.
Fireball Traps
There are two fireball traps.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| First trap | At the start of the climb |
| Second trap | After the giant tree platforms |
| Fix | Watch the pattern, then jump at the right moment |
Because both traps follow a pattern, wait and learn it before you move. As a result, you take far less damage than if you rush. A double jump helps a lot on the tree platforms, according to the guide.
Electric Cannons
Your keywords mention lightning traps. The guide calls them electric cannons, and they fire bursts you jump over. Time your jump to the burst, and you pass without damage.
Chests Inside the Spire
I could not find any source that names silver or gold chests in this spire. Instead, the guides describe treasure rooms:
- First fork: the right hallway leads to a treasure room with low-level loot. One guide says to skip it.
- Near the top: the left door opens to a treasure room, and a button at the bottom unlocks it.
- Below the top floor: pressing two buttons opens a locked door that holds a chest.
Therefore, I cannot tell you which chest is silver or gold. If you want a chest list, check the chest colors in your own game after you open each one.
If you enjoy this kind of walkthrough, our Athanasia walkthrough guide covers another new release.
Follow the Melody: Quest Walkthrough
Follow the Melody is a main quest. Here are the steps from the guide I could read.
- Forge a path. Travel far north of the Springlands spire into the Shroud.
- Master the Blackmire Spire. Enter from the glowing platform and climb to the top floor.
- Press two buttons. Do this on the floor just below the top to open a locked door with a chest.
- Commune with the Flame. Use the altar on the top floor.
- Reach the Sunken Ancient City. Glide from the top floor toward the quest marker. One player landed on a large tree and glided again from a branch.
- Explore the city. Press three buttons to open the locked central door.
- Awaken the survivor. Find the glowing vessel inside.
- Summon the Bard. At your base, hold the Summoning Staff, press TAB and place Valory from the Craftspeople row. Placing him completes the quest.
The quest pays 1,200 XP and a portrait icon.
Rescue the Bard in the Sunken Ancient City
The Bard, Valory, waits inside the locked central door of the Sunken Ancient City. You open that door with three buttons.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| First button | South of the city, on a platform between two braziers |
| Second button | Southwest, on top of a building |
| Third button | West, on top of a building |
Be careful in the city. Sinking into the black liquid drains your health quickly, so stay out of it. Instead, use the rooftops and platforms to move between buttons.
After you open the door, awaken the survivor at the glowing vessel. Next, return to your base and place Valory with the Summoning Staff.
Tips and Common Mistakes
- Underleveling. Level 15 enemies appear in the passage, so bring good gear.
- Gliding on mushrooms. The guide says not to glide while you climb the launchers.
- Rushing the traps. Watch the pattern first.
- Entering from the wrong side. The entrance sits on the west side.
- Touching the black liquid. It drains health fast.
- Trusting old versions. The game has changed since the guides I read, so follow your quest marker.
Conclusion
To finish the Enshrouded Blackmire Spire, enter from the west, ride the mushroom launchers, time the fireball and electric traps and commune with the Flame. Then glide to the Sunken Ancient City, press three buttons and awaken Valory the Bard. Silver and gold chest locations and the “bounce flower” name remain unconfirmed. Everything here is accurate as of October 25, 2026, and later updates may change details.
