Diving Gear Quest in Enshrouded

To get the Diving Helmet in Enshrouded, begin the Diving Gear quest and travel to the Drake Temple in Starfish Shores, located north of the Veilwater Basin Spire. You must have the Swimfins from the Born Swimmer quest and bring several Diver’s Endurance Flasks. Inside the temple, unlock the main door using two switches, navigate the underwater maze by activating multiple hidden switches, avoid the spinning traps and finally loot the Diving Helmet from the chamber below the exit.

Step 1 – Prepare for the Dive and Travel to Drak Temple

Make sure your Swimfins are equipped and that you carry multiple Diver’s Endurance Flasks, as both will be critical for completing the underwater maze. When ready, travel north from the Veilwater Basin Spire toward Starfish Shores, where the Drake Temple is located.

Diver’s Endurance Flasks can be obtained from the Alchemist, and Swimfins are from the Born Swimmer quest

Step 2 – Clear the Entrance Room and Unlock the First Door

When you arrive, climb the main staircase and interact with the note at the top to begin the trial officially.

Drop through the large opening that leads into the lower chamber of the temple. Several enemies will be waiting, so defeat them first to ensure the room is safe to explore.

You’ll see a locked door requiring two switches. The first switch is directly above the door—aim and shoot it with your bow.

If you have a Drake Soulward Flask, you may read the lore note nearby.

Then head to the southwest corner, where a pile of boxes conceals a hidden passage. Break the boxes to reveal the crawlspace and follow it to the second switch. Press it and return to the main chamber—the door will now be unlocked.

Step 3 – Begin the Underwater Trial and Press the First Switch

Past the door lies the beginning of the underwater maze. Equip your Swimfins, drink a Diver’s Endurance Flask and prepare any stamina foods or buffs.

When ready, dive into the water and swim forward to press the first switch. Once activated, immediately resurface to regain oxygen and stamina before continuing deeper.

Step 4 – Navigate to the Second Switch and Reach the First Air Pocket

When recovered, dive again and turn left, swimming quickly along the passageway. Push through the collapsed rubble until you reach the second switch and activate it.

You need to be very fast here, turn right, and follow it around to find an opening. Resurface and catch your breath here. You can position yourself on the ledges if needed while restoring stamina and consuming food.

Step 5 – Locate the Third Switch and Fourth Switch

Dive again and you will notice a third switch not far from you. Press the third switch then head back for air. This is hardest part of the quest as you will have no room for error.

When you are ready, dive back down and take a left when looking at the third switch and continue straight forward until the dead end, then take a right turn, followed by an immediate left.

Follow the narrow passage until you round the corner and see a grassy underwater opening on your right. Swim inside and follow the tunnel until you reach the next air pocket.

Well done, you’ve done the hardest part. Now recover fully, then dive just below to press the fourth switch before resurfacing again.

Step 6 – Retrieve the Drak Relief and Prepare for the Final Stretch

Dive once more and look to the left of the switch for a glowing green passage leading to a small secret chamber. Swim inside to find Drak Relief VI, then return to the air pocket to fully recharge stamina and oxygen. This is the final safe point before the hardest part of the dive.

Step 7 – Navigate the Spike Tunnel and Hit the Final Switch

When you’re ready, dive down again and begin swimming toward the switch you just pressed, then enter the left-side passage that now acts as the main route forward.

This corridor contains three spinning spike traps. Move carefully, timing your swim to pass each trap without taking damage. Once you make it through all three, look immediately to your right to find the final switch.

Press it and continue swimming forward, taking the left turn ahead, which leads back toward the maze entrance.

Step 8 – Claim the Diving Helmet and Exit the Temple

As you resurface back in the starting chamber, you’ll see that the final locked door has now opened. Dive directly below the spot where you originally entered the water and you will find the Diving Helmet on a diver.

Loot it, then swim back to the opening and climb out of the water.

The helmet increases your oxygen capacity by an additional 60 seconds, massively improving your ability to explore underwater areas throughout Veilwater Basin.

With the helmet collected, the Diving Gear quest is complete.
