Enshrouded Thundering success requires defeating the Fell Thunderbrute at the first Elixir Well. Destroying its nearby root is the separate Well done! objective. Single source for the detailed descent: the checked October 17 walkthrough describes the route below; a second compiled boss summary is supporting context.
Reach the fight with a usable kit
Bring your equipped Glider, a repaired combat weapon, healing and an axe for the root afterward. Hizzle recommends checking the escape route before committing your remaining Shroud time to the fight.
From the Return Beacon platform, the walkthrough identifies a climbable grate on the eastern edge. Descend through the wooden platforms, then use the Glider for the final drop. Check your bound glide action rather than assuming a PC key is the same on your controller.
Wait for a real opening
The documented danger is the leap followed by a ground slam, alongside close cleaves. Move clear of the landing attack and use its recovery to retaliate. If the boss stands above you on the root mound, reposition instead of swinging below its body.
Kill the guardian, inspect the award, then deal with the root. UNSURE: every co-op credit exception, imported-save trigger and current respawn boundary. A return trip is not a promised health-preserving checkpoint. No Hizzle in-game testing.
Planning limits: complete missable status, numerical difficulty, total time and every DLC/platform exception remain UNSURE. Check the roadmap phase and evidence label before planning a full completion run.
