So you’re on a mission to upgrade your gear in Hytale and you need darkwood trunks. Naturally, you wander around, hoping every tree you see will finally be “the one.” Spoiler alert: it’s not going to be Burnt or Camphor logs you picked up while climbing volcanic cliffs.

Trust me, I tried that. After a few failed attempts, I realized the game is giving subtle hints, “Coldwood Trunks” would have been a better clue, but now I know exactly where to go.

What is Darkwood?

Darkwood trunks come from cedar trees. If you’re wondering what to look for, it’s pretty easy to identify: the wood looks like a deep, rich brown, and the leaves have a bluish tint. That sapling you spot? Yep, that’s cedar too. Collecting cedar is the key to getting those coveted darkwood trunks for your upgrades.

Where to Find Cedar

Here’s a video on where to find Cedar so you can get Darkwood Trunks in Hytale.

Cedar doesn’t grow just anywhere. You’ll need to head to cold regions, specifically snowy biomes. Keep an eye out for those distinctive blue leaves; it’s like the trees are giving you a subtle high-five when you’ve found the right one. Once you spot them, harvesting cedar is straightforward, and it will give you everything you need for darkwood trunks.

Honestly, these trees make finding upgrades feel like a mini adventure. Bundle up, explore the frosty mountains, and don’t get distracted by the other logs you find along the way, they’re decorative, not useful for this task.

Wrap-Up

Darkwood trunks are all about patience and knowing where to look. Forget Burnt and Camphor, forget the volcanic cliffs, and head straight to the cold, snowy biomes. Spot the cedar, collect the wood, and your upgrades are just a few trunks away.

And if you’re venturing into snowy regions anyway, why not make a full mining and crafting day of it? You might also enjoy my guide on Cobalt Ore Location in Hytale. Cold, shiny, and totally worth the frostbite. Between cedar and cobalt, your snowy adventures just got a lot more productive.
