The Mystery of the Shrouded Ghost — Sea of Thieves Walkthrough

Embark on The Shroudbreaker, the first Tall Tale in the Shores of Gold Arc! Your guide to finding the Pirate Lord's clues and the legendary Shroudbreaker artifact.

Alright, pirate! Ready to dive into the first Tall Tale of the Shores of Gold Arc? This one's called 'The Shroudbreaker,' and it's all about tracking down clues related to the Pirate Lord's ship, the Magpie's Wing, and a legendary artifact. You'll start this quest by finding the Mysterious Stranger in any Tavern on an Outpost. Chat with them, and they'll give you the Tale Book, which is actually The Journal of the Pirate Lord. You can vote to start the Tall Tale right there, or if you change your mind, you can cancel it later at your ship's Voyage Table. Keep in mind, you can also vote on checkpoints you've unlocked to continue the tale later. Completing this Tall Tale will net you 8,000 Gold, and it's a must-do before you can even think about starting the next one, The Cursed Rogue. Once you've got the Tale Book, you can find it in your Map Radial Menu. To flip through its pages, use the 'Q' and 'E' keys on your keyboard or the Left and Right buttons on your controller. As you go through the Tall Tale, you might find more pages added to your book. Sometimes these pages will be different because some puzzles have multiple variations, sending you to different spots for a bit of variety. During The Shroudbreaker, you'll be interacting with the Mysterious Stranger and, unfortunately, you might run into some Coral Skeletons. Keep your wits about you!
