Enshrouded Albaneve Summits Hollow Halls is the new frozen Hollow Halls dungeon added with Enshrouded 1.0. The entrance sits north of Spooky Grave in Albaneve Summits, and you need a Bone Key from Alden Crowley, the Collector, to enter. Inside are green rune barriers, spider-infested vertical chambers and the Hollow Titan boss.
This is the fifth regional Hollow Halls, following the Kindlewastes dungeon and unlocking the route toward Veilwater Basin. The important reward to take away is Icy Giant Bones, used for the next Bone Key. Here’s the entrance route, crafting requirements, dungeon progression and places that most commonly hold players up.

Unlock the Collector quest
Enshrouded Albaneve Summits Hollow Halls is the fifth of six Hollow Halls in Enshrouded 1.0. Speak to Alden Crowley, the Collector, after progressing through the Kindlewastes Hollow Halls. His Frozen Souls quest leads into The Albaneve Summits Hollow Halls, a level-32 journal quest that pays 350 XP. This icebound dungeon is a separate task from the Ancient Researcher’s Beacon Dungeons.
Craft the Albaneve Bone Key
To open Enshrouded Albaneve Summits Hollow Halls, craft the Albaneve Summits Bone Key at the Collector using one Giant Bones, one Silver Bar and 20 Ectoplasm Gems. The recipe becomes available when you first obtain the required tier of Ectoplasm Crystal. Giant Bones come from Hollow Cyclops enemies in earlier Hollow Halls. Smelt Silver Ore with Coal to produce a Silver Bar in the Blast Furnace. Keep the key in your inventory: it also opens three locked doors inside the hall and is not consumed when used.
Find the entrance in Albaneve Summits
The Enshrouded Albaneve Summits Hollow Halls entrance lies approximately 250 metres north of Spooky Grave and about 520 metres north of Pumpkin Patch. From the Cinder’s Cradle – Sky Islands Ancient Spire it is roughly 1,100 metres southeast in a straight line. Accept the Collector’s quest so the entrance is marked. Look for the ruined Hall structure rather than a normal mountain cave, use your key at the door, then travel down the teleport platform.
What to carry
The Collector recommends level 32, although the crypt itself is level 35. Bring frost-resistance food or rings, healing, stamina food, a Glider with Updraft, Grappling Hook, lockpicks and ranged damage. Use the repair station near the beginning. Hypothermia keeps ticking while you inspect walls or loot: leave freezing chambers for warmer corridors before the timer runs out. Keep inventory room for Icy Giant Bones, needed for the Veilwater key.
Opening crypt and green rune barriers
Inside Enshrouded Albaneve Summits Hollow Halls, clear each group of Hollow Wretches, Hounds and Summoners before searching for runes. Some doors require collecting green runes from adjoining routes, not simply unlocking them with the Bone Key. Destroy any bone-pile Reanimators you encounter: they keep raising Hollow enemies while you explore. Follow the opened barrier and checkpoint routes rather than trying to attack an inactive gate.
First barrier: collect three green runes
The first major rune barrier in Enshrouded Albaneve Summits Hollow Halls needs three activations. One rune is reachable near the starting route, while the other two are above floor level. Look back and upward from the blocked doorway, follow the side passage onto the raised ledges and check the platforms around the chests. Once all three indicators register, return to the barrier to advance.
Open the side-room switch door
At the door with an indicator above it, follow the nearby side passage and interact with the wall switch. Merely reaching the room or opening its chest does not trigger it. The optional upper shortcut starts at the raised stone or sarcophagus on the west side of the icy chamber: Double Jump, open your Glider, use Updraft to gain height and turn into the upper ledge. This bypass does not activate the locked door’s switch.
Use Updrafts for the next rune barriers
In the icy slide and gliding chamber, some green targets hang above the floor. Open your Glider during the descent, use the rising currents to steer through the targets and watch the remaining barrier indicators. Later, Enshrouded Albaneve Summits Hollow Halls has another barrier requiring four runes. Start at the working elevator and inspect its upper landing, opposite high walls and connected side rooms; one target is reached past Hollow enemies and a spawner. Return to the door once all four register.
Spiders, side paths and vertical climbs
The dungeon also has Summit Spiders, Spitting Spiders, Bats and Spider Mamas. Follow the icy slide into a chamber of airborne green targets. Open your Glider and use Updraft currents to collect them; if you miss one, you may need another circuit while your frost timer keeps falling. Once the barrier opens, move to the elevator. At the later four-rune gate, check the upper landing, high walls and side room with a Hollow spawner before returning to the blocked doorway.
Reach and defeat the Hollow Titan
The Hollow Titan is the final boss in Enshrouded Albaneve Summits Hollow Halls. Clear the smaller Hollow enemies and destroy nearby Reanimators before focusing on the Titan. Keep stamina available to evade its area attacks, then strike or shoot during recovery windows. After the fight, loot Icy Giant Bones and the Hollow Titan Head, and continue into the final reward room. The Collector’s quest may not complete until you reach that last area.
Take Icy Giant Bones before leaving
The key progression material from Enshrouded Albaneve Summits Hollow Halls is Icy Giant Bones. You need one to make the Veilwater Basin Bone Key with a Gold Bar and 25 Ectoplasm Gems. Loot the appropriate enemies, including the Hollow Titan, and verify the item is in your inventory before leaving. Without it, you may have to return through Albaneve when the Collector gives you the next quest.
All notable chests and side rewards
Enshrouded Albaneve Summits Hollow Halls contains 65 chests in the current game map data: seven gold, seven silver and 51 wooden. The fixed chest rewards include the Dimweald Axe, Dimweald Hammer and Midnight Tomb Block. Some other chests can roll equipment shared with other Hollow Halls, including exclusive Hollow weapon types; not every chest guarantees a weapon. You can also find the lore notes Cracks In The Ice and No Help Coming along the route.
Three Bone Key doors and checkpoints
The Albaneve Summits Bone Key opens three keyed doors inside Enshrouded Albaneve Summits Hollow Halls, so do not store it in a chest at your base after using the entrance. The dungeon has five Return Beacons and many branching rooms. Activating checkpoints as you progress makes backtracking less punishing. Keep track of previously opened green rune barriers to distinguish a puzzle door from a Bone Key door.
If a door will not open
When Enshrouded Albaneve Summits Hollow Halls seems blocked, first check whether the gate has a Bone Key interaction prompt or a green rune requirement. The same two obstacles need different solutions. If you cannot use a Grappling Point, make sure you have a Grappling Hook and are in range. For freezing sections, improve cold resistance before retrying. If the Collector is not offering the quest, finish his earlier Hollow Halls progression and check that he has shelter at your base.
Final sarcophagi after the Hollow Titan
After defeating the Titan, loot its body for Icy Giant Bones and the Hollow Titan Head before moving into the final rooms. The last reward chamber of Enshrouded Albaneve Summits Hollow Halls contains four gold and two silver sarcophagi. Opening them costs Ectoplasm Clusters; check the displayed price before buying, since one of the containers has been documented at seven Clusters. Reaching the end completes the Collector’s objective even if you leave optional sarcophagi unopened.
Quest completion and the next dungeon
After completing Enshrouded Albaneve Summits Hollow Halls, return to Alden Crowley for the subsequent Veilwater Basin Hollow Halls quest. The next key is crafted from one Gold Bar, one Icy Giant Bones and 25 Ectoplasm Gems. The quest chain and its Bone Keys are independent of Loraine Crim’s six Beacon Dungeons for the 1.0 main story. You can finish them in either broader campaign order once the prerequisite keys and materials are available.
