Enshrouded: How to get the Barber NPC and customize your character

The Barber NPC in Enshrouded was introduced with the latest update (6 Thralls of Twilight). The update adds more flavor to the world of content, mechanics, and, of course, enemies. It also allows you to customize your character; overhaul your appearance.

Getting the Barber NPC is relatively easy, but it can be tricky if you're still new to the game or just learning the ropes. This is more so if you're yet to unlock the Bard in Enshrouded, arguably one of the most important NPCs.

That said, here is how to go about getting the Barber NPC.

Before we dive into the details, here is a summary of what you must do to get the Barber NPC: Interact with the Flame Altar to get the Illuminate The Night quest, travel to Elder's Night Sanctum, overcome the traps located within to find the button, press it, and double back to rescue the survivor. That said, here are the steps:

Interact with the Flame Alter at your base to get the Illuminate the Night quest.
Go to an Ancient Spire and use your Ghost Glider to reach the Elder's Night Sanctum (or walk if you're still new to the game). Keep in mind that you have to go to the location at night. If you go during the day, the door will not open.
Once inside, run the gauntlet and avoid the traps to make it to the end.
Press the button, head back, and enter the chamber that was opened by pressing the button.
Interact with the status pod to "Awaken Survivor".
Head back to your base and place the Barber NPC there to use him.

Keep in mind that if you don't have access to Ancient Spires yet, this may not be the easiest of tasks for you to complete just here. Play the game, level up a bit, and circle back to this quest when you're more adept.
