Gloomhaven: How to Unlock Enhancements

Enhancements allow you to improve your mercenaries, making it key to success in Gloomhaven’s brutal quests. We’ll tell you everything you need to know about unlocking the enhancement feature.

How to Unlock Enhancements in Gloomhaven

Much like classes, the unlock method varies between Campaign and Guildmaster modes. Similarly, unlocks in one mode don’t carry over to the other mode. We’ll break down the unlock conditions for both modes.

Campaign Mode

Unlocking Enhancements in Gloomhaven is done by obtaining the “Power of Enhacement”. This is unlocked by completing the #14 Core Scenario, Frozen Hallow.

There are a few routes that can lead you to this scenario. We’ll tell you which scenarios to complete so you know what to look for. Simply complete any of these routes and finish Frozen Hallow to unlock enhancements. Note that Core Scenarios are also called World Quests in the digital version of the game.

• 1: Black Barrow > 2: Barrow Lair > 4: Crypt of the Damned > 5: Ruinous Crypt > 14: Frozen Hallow
• 1: Black Barrow > 2: Barrow Lair > 3: Inox Encampment > 8: Gloomhaven Warehouse > 14: Frozen Hallow
• 1: Black Barrow > 2: Barrow Lair > 3: Inox Encampment > 9: Diamond Mine > 11: Gloomhaven Square A or 12: Gloomhaven Square B > 18: Abandoned Sewers > 14: Frozen Hallow

When you finally complete the Frozen Hallow quest, the Power of Enhancement will be unlocked, allowing you to make use of enhancements.

Guildmaster Mode

Unlocking Enhancements in Guildmaster mode is a bit more straightforward. You don’t need to complete any specific quests or anything like that.

You simply have to complete any quests you can and explore more of the world. After a certain point, you’ll be approached by an Enchantress.

This will unlock her as an advisor NPC, much like the Trainer and Merchant. Use her services to be able to enchant. That’s all there is to unlocking enchantments in Guildmaster.

Having the Enchantress join you will also unlock Enhancement-related achievements from the Trainer. It’s recommended to check them out and try to complete them for more unlocks.
