Beginning a new adventurous journey in the game is thrilling, and Sea of Thieves tall tales are no different. Sea of Thieves tall tales are the longest story quests that developers introduce. At the start, when the Sea of Thieves was officially released for PC and Xbox One in 2018, the game’s content was minimal. The content could have been better for the game fans and players. Most players criticize it due to a lack of story or content. 

However, the developer Rarely updates and occasionally adds new content to the game. In Sea of Thieves, players explore an open world or ocean with the ship, visiting islands that are full of secrets and hidden treasures.

In tall tales, Sea of Thieves, players visit many islands, do tasks that are assigned by NPCs, battle with Riva and much more.

The Shroudbreaker Tall Tale

To start the Shores of Gold campaign, the first tall tale is the Shroudbreaker Tall Tale. Players start their adventure to find Shroudbreaker, a way to reach such an island completely covered with shimmering gold. This tall tale focuses on the Magpie Wing, the ship whose owner is Pirate Lord, and now he lost his ship. The task of your Crew or team is to explore this ancient island and find the ship from anywhere. 

To start the story, you enter a Tavern where many missions await you. First, you meet with a mysterious stranger who has something useful for you besides a barrel. You will find a book on the top of the barrel containing all the details about the Shroudbreaker. The story lays the stage for a fun adventure where you must find chests, open a vault, and try to escape Coral Skeletons before they steal any valuables.

The Cursed Rogue Tall Tale

The second chapter of the Shores of Gold campaign is Cursed Rogue. The Cursed Rogue Tall Tale is a unique, engaging, and exciting chapter of the Shores of Gold series because it has fun action sequences for those who love battling or fighting and sets the stage for the rest of the arc.

In this story, your team will meet with Madame Olivia, who gives you a task that is the primary mission of this quest. She informs you that once Captain Briggs’s Crew reached the Shores of Gold Island at the exact location where the gold treasure was present. No one knows what happened with Captain Briggsy’s Crew because they never heard or saw them again after they reached this island. Now, your task is to find the reason for their disappearance and what happened to them. 

The Legendary Storyteller Tall Tale

The third chapter of the Shores of Gold arc is the Legendary Storyteller tall tale. You catch Captain Briggsy in this chapter, but some stones still need to be included. You will kill Captain Briggsy and bring her head to Madame Olivia. Bring head skeleton hopping. Order of Souls will get the required information. But the Order of Souls cannot get specific information about stones here. Still, the Order gets some vital information and the person’s name associated with it; Tasha is one of them.

Now, on this island, you will talk with Tasha; she will introduce herself and tell you some stories about Captain Briggsy. Luckily she wrote his stories and drew some sketches which she will give you. She also gives you a small talebook, which is very helpful for you when visiting areas and locations to complete tasks or solve puzzles. 

Stars of a Thief Tall Tale

Frequently, Tall Tales only sometimes utilize the entire cycle of day and night to narrate their stories. Stars of a Thief tall tale is the fourth chapter of the Shores of Gold arc, which is very impressive, exciting and perfect for those players who love complex puzzles and like adventures in their seafaring journey. 

The search for the Shroudbreaker’s missing pieces is carried out in Stars of a Thief. Pick up this story in the North Star Sea post, where the group will receive assistance from pirate astronomer Sudds as they study the stars to determine where another piece is located. In this story, players get help from a pirate astronomer who guides them about the locations or their tasks according to the movement of stars. 

The Wild Rose Tall Tale

Shores of Gold chapter five is The Wild Rose Tall Tale; in this chapter, you complete four quests and are still on the mission of gathering Shores of Gold pieces. Wild Rose diverges from the larger plot as it centers on a more intimate story about a couple who disappeared just days before their wedding. A young and romantic couple, Rose and George, get lost on this island before they become partners.

Now Madame Olivie tells you this young couple’s tale in detail and other things about them. She gives the task to the Crew to find out the lost location or place of Rose and George and gather information that explains what happened to them or where they went. During your task, you will find something much more costly than treasure: Rose and George’s memories and all they had experienced together until then.

The Art of the Trickster Tall Tale

Shores of Gold chapter sixth is Art of the Trickster. All Tall Tales is the series of the Shores of Gold, where the whole story revolves around finding the Devil’s Shroud to reach Tribute Peak. Tribute Peak is the location of several vaults and abundant treasure for a pirate outfit to divide.

In chapter 6, Art of the Trickster story revolves around Shroudbreaker pieces, and one of its stone pieces is protected by Trapmarker. The story involves:

  • Using skeleton corpses to solve a mystery.
  • Using a spyglass to locate items.
  • Fighting enemies in an evil lair.

It gives real adventure and fighting fun to battle lovers.

The Fate of the Morningstar Tall Tale

After completing the Art of the Trickster tale and the other 5 chapters of the Shores of Gold, the Crew reached the Fate of the Morningstar, the 7th chapter of this series.  In the Morningstar tale, the fate centers on the Morningstar ship’s crew, whom the skeleton lord Graymarrow killed after they successfully retrieved one stone from the Shroudbreaker. After that, their spirits would be kept hidden in lock. 

The focus of the story and your Crew’s task is to trace out the Morningstar crew’s dead bodies and free them from the chest. You will travel or explore all places of this island where the Morningstar crew was last seen. To trace out their steps to find their body, you will use Enchanted Lantern. With Enchanted Lantern, you can check their steps and, from the steps, get info about their last location. 

Revenge of the Morningstar Tall Tale

As in chapter 7th of the Shores of Gold, your Crew trace the Morningstar dead bodies. In the next chapter, 8th Revenge of the Morningstar, you will go on a mission to take revenge for this Crew’s death. Graymarrow killed the Morningstar crew and stole Shroudbreaker stone from them. Now, your Crew will fight against the Graymarrow and try to take back this stone for yourself.

You will follow this story to the Morningstar tragedy to obtain a ship log. Players will need to figure out a code to find Graymarrow’s location. You and your team must be ready for a strategic war as the chapter ends with a massive encounter with Graymarrow.

Shores of Gold Tall Tale

This last chapter results from the effort made on the original Tall Tale arc. Sharing named for the narrative of which it is a part, Shores of Gold is the culmination of the efforts to get you and your companions to Tribute Peak.

To reach the island, the voyage requires crossing the Devil’s Shroud, a blood-red sea. After that, you’ll have to finish four distinct puzzle vaults to receive tokens that will allow you to explore the island’s interior. All of this will prepare you for the fight with the Gold HoardQer. If you can finish this mission, you’ll get paid well.
