How to unlock Mei-Chin in Enshrouded Pact of the Flame Update
Mei-Chin is the latest NPC to join the world of Enshrouded, bringing with her a collection of Lunar New Year-themed crafting recipes. If you’re looking to add festive decorations, the Serpent Warrior Set, or a mystical Lunar New Year staff to your arsenal, you’ll need to unlock Mei first. This won’t be as easy as walking up and having a friendly chat - Mei is trapped in the Shroud, and you’ll have to fight to bring her back. This guide will take you through every step, from finding her location to summoning her at your base.

Starting the Quest to Find Mei-Chin
Before you can unlock Mei-Chin, you’ll need to speak to Cade Hawthorn, the Carpenter. If you’ve recently logged in after the update, head back to your base and talk to Cade. He will give you a quest called Ringing in the New Year, which starts your journey to locate Mei.

Cade will explain that Mei was once a well-known trader who specialized in Lunar New Year decorations and that she has gone missing somewhere within the Shroud. This means that you’ll need to venture into dangerous territory to find her remains. Make sure to bring plenty of supplies, including Shroud Flasks, bandages, and weapons - this won’t be a simple stroll through the woods.
Finding Mei-Chin’s Location
Mei-Chin is located in the Low Meadows, northwest of the Low Meadows Ancient Spire and east of Braelyn Bridge. If you haven’t explored this region yet, prepare for an adventure. The area is crawling with Shroud enemies, and they won’t be happy to see you snooping around.

When you arrive at the marked location, look for a glowing red pile of bones. This is all that remains of Mei, and your objective is to rescue her soul. However, before you can do that, you’ll need to clear out the enemies guarding the area. Be cautious - some of these foes are stronger than the usual Shroud creatures, and they may overwhelm you if you’re unprepared.

Once the area is clear, interact with Mei’s bones to rescue her soul. You are now ready to bring her back to life at your base.
Summoning Mei-Chin at Your Base
With Mei’s soul in your possession, return to your base and use the Summoning Staff to bring her back. However, before she can fully integrate into your settlement, you’ll need to build a bed for her. This can be done by crafting one at a workbench and placing it in a suitable spot.

Once the bed is assigned, interact with Mei, and she will officially become a part of your settlement. Congratulations! You’ve successfully unlocked Mei-Chin as a trader.
What Can You Craft with Mei-Chin?
Now that Mei is available, she will provide access to exclusive Lunar New Year-themed crafting recipes. These include:
- Serpent Warrior Set (Helmet, Chest Armor, Gloves, Pants, and Boots)
- Lunar New Year Door
- Various Room Dividers with intricate designs
- Golden Snake Statue
- Lunar New Year Staff, perfect for mage characters
- Red Lanterns to decorate your base
To craft these items, simply interact with Mei and select the “Craft” option. If you’re missing materials, check her trade options - she may offer some of the harder-to-find ingredients.

Unlocking Mei-Chin is essential for those looking to add festive and powerful items to their collection in Enshrouded: Pact of the Flame Update. With her arrival, you now have access to exclusive crafting options, making your base feel more alive and your character even stronger. Now that she’s safely at your settlement, take some time to explore her offerings and see what new quests she may have for you.
