How to get and use Gem of Hopeful Embers in Enshrouded Thralls of Twilight Update
Wander into the moss-clad hollows of the Revelwood and follow the mournful cries of Fell Banshees echoing through ancient trees for they alone carry the rare Gem of Hopeful Embers clutched in ghostly hands.

Make your camp near the lair entrances to minimize your run time then seek out each Fell Banshee patrol, strike swiftly and loot the spectral corpse before the next banshee materializes for a constant rotation of ear-splitting wails and gem drops.

How to use it
Slip your newly acquired Gem of Hopeful Embers into your weapon socket at any gem forge then linger as your Shroud timer dips below the warning threshold and watch defeated enemies ignite time orbs that hover like glowing embers to steal back precious seconds.

Return to the alchemist’s forge with Archaic Essence in hand, pay the essence toll to open the gem slot, and insert the Gem of Hopeful Embers into any compatible weapon to awaken its temporal gift.

Keep a careful eye on the Shroud countdown and once it plunges into critical territory your Gem of Hopeful Embers will spring to life, turning each fallen foe into a tiny phoenix that restores your dwindling time.
How to upgrade gem of hopeful embers
Collect Archaic Essence from higher-tier Shroud lairs in Revelwood then revisit the forge to feed those glowing crystals into your Gem of Hopeful Embers and bolster the number of orbs it unleashes when your timer runs low.

Best builds for hopeful embers
Time-sensitive builds like shroud runners or fragile glass cannons will reap the most benefit, weaving in quick kills to maximize orb generation and keep your play session alive far beyond a single timer.
Pair Gem of Hopeful Embers with rapid-kill enhancers or area damage gems so you can dispatch groups in a single breath and trigger a cascade of time orbs that roll time back like ripples across a pond.
With your Gem of Hopeful Embers slotted and upgraded, Revelwood’s spectral banshees will no longer spell your doom but rather your salvation, showering you in glowing time orbs whenever your Shroud timer nears its end and granting you fresh moments to conquer the twilight.
