Enshrouded: Fell Dragon Youngling - 1.0 Update

Posted on August 21, 2026 by Aywren

One of the biggest boss fights in Enshrouded is the Fell Dragon Youngling. I wrote about this battle almost a year ago when we first beat it, and what it took to actually finish the fight so that we could move on in the story.

Because that post did get a lot of eyes on it, when I saw the newest video from the Enshrouded team about the changes 1.0 would be bringing to this fight, I decided to write a follow up here!

Having watched the video (which I’ll post below), I think the changes to this fight as they outlined it will be a big help to a lot of players who are stuck on the fight. Syn and I only beat the fight as we did because we turned the damage settings waaaay down and then the dragon itself got stuck and was unable to respond – and that’s a bug they’re fixing in the official release.

So, here are the highlights of the changes they’re making:

• Fixing the bugs that would sometimes reset the boss to full life during battle
• Fixing the bugs that got the boss stuck and unresponsive
• Making the arena wider to give players more room to maneuver during the fight, and less of a chance at accidentally falling off
• Adding a new phase where the dragon lands, allowing melee players to do damage to it without it needing to be stunned
• Reducing the number of stun attacks needed to stun the dragon (so it can take damage)
• Increasing the damage the dragon takes normally
• Making the weak spot on its back effective for all weapon types to attack
• Making the dragon stay stunned for a little longer, but reducing the damage it takes while stunned to balance this out
• Making the dragon’s hitbox easier to hit
• Reducing its overall health (significantly)

Additionally, they are making a change where dying while in battle will not completely reset the health of the enemies you were fighting. Enemies will begin to regain health, but slowly, allowing you to come back to the fight without having to do it all over again from 100% health.

This video lists other great changes, like:

• Options for how updrafts work
• Better character proportions
• Updated fishing system
• Improving NPCs so they get stuck less often

This is just the first of the developer videos covering changes that will release when the game launches out of early access in October. I’m looking forward to this – how about you!
