Sea Of Thieves My Ship Is Stuck

Ocean of Thieves Lost Shipments Voyage guide

(Epitome credit: Rare)

The Sea of Thieves Lost Shipments Voyage can be confusing. Whether you lot're yet finding your bounding main legs or have sailed for miles in Sea of Thieves there's a lot to unpack, with clues to find, a Sea of Thieves Captains Central, and cash in the final piece of the Voyage, the Merchant Manifest. In this Bounding main of Thieves Lost Shipments guide, we'll bear witness y'all how to do it all and succeed at this brand new Voyage type that arrived with the introduction of Seasons.

i. Buy a Lost Shipments Voyage from Larinna to outset the Lost Shipments Voyage

The beginning thing you'll need to do is buy a Lost Shipments Voyage from Larinna, the NPC idling outside whatever outpost at which you may spawn, and in her stock y'all'll find yous tin can buy one such Voyage from her at a fourth dimension. In a futurity update, the Merchants themselves will also sell these Voyages, but at the start of Flavour I, they're being given for free from Larinna.

Once you have the Voyage in your log, head onto your ship and vote to begin with your coiffure (or solo if that's how you're playing). This volition put a new Voyage item in your inventory, the Lost Shipments Map, which details the intended route of the ship yous're searching for.

two. Check the Lost Shipments Voyage map to see where to go

Pay attending to the finer details on this map. At the bottom, it tells you where the transport left from and where information technology intended to arrive. As we already know this mission has united states searching for a shipwreck, the puzzle is in solving where along the way the fateful crew sunk and left behind all that loot.

If you lot're lucky enough to already be standing on the isle where their route began, head off in the same direction the coiffure did by using the map and retracing their nautical steps. If you lot need to instead offset at a unlike island, practice that starting time. Caput off on the same path as the ship once you lot've reached its original starting point.

3. Await for birds to observe your beginning inkling as y'all sail

It won't be long before you see your starting time clue, evidenced by a minor only tight flock of birds circumvoluted over some flotsam. This at-sea boodle pile is unique to Lost Shipments Voyages and can be identified past their broken barrels and wood planks painted with blue stripes.

This is to differentiate it from the typical flotsam you may find in the game on or off voyages. Halt your ship beside the wreckage and search for a few cardinal items, including perhaps a literal key. The Captain'southward Key can exist found on every Lost Shipments Voyage without exception, only without a keen heart for the details, a sloppy pirate may also overlook it entirely.

The trick to finding a Captain's Key is to look out for a unique calorie-free blue glint in the dominicus, which is different from any other shimmers the game uses to denote valuables at a altitude.

If you see a light bluish glint at this location, take hold of that primal for later. If yous're sure it's non there, don't worry equally information technology'due south probable further along the route.

While at the wreckage location, be sure to also grab any boodle and clues you lot may observe, which can float there as either a Inkling in a Bottle or within one of the barrels as a Curious Annotation. Information technology may also be found on an island if a previous clue sent you to 1. Once establish, you lot'll get the next figurative breadcrumb for your Voyage every bit a new quest particular. Check information technology to find the side by side procedurally generated hint.

4. Cheque the clues for more details

These clues come in unlike styles. A clue may point to a specific isle by proper noun, such as "Shark Tooth Fundamental." A clue may instead bespeak to a spot on the map, which you locate using the map tabular array'due south grid, such as "R11." A clue may even give you merely a hint, such as keywords like "shrouded in fog." Since foggy conditions move nigh the map like thunderstorms, such a inkling could only signal to the Fort of the Damned because information technology's the only location always wrapped in such low-lying clouds.

If you get such a subtle clue, it will pay to be familiar with the map, just such clues seem only to arise in the college-level versions of Lost Shipments Voyages, so you needn't worry if you lot're starting out rather fresh in the game.

This process of finding clues which lead you to new clues tin continue a few times based in one case more on the game's procedural generation and your pirate'south Merchants Brotherhood level, and each step of the way you tin can see other clues on your Lost Shipments Map in hand, giving yous a rough judge of how and where they veered off course.

5. Locate the wreck

Eventually you'll correctly follow a inkling to a location at sea, and it may look every bit though there is goose egg in that location. That'southward considering yous have to swoop nether the water. If you followed the clues correctly, you'll find the shipwreck y'all've been searching for.

Assuming you found the Helm's Primal, use it to open up the Captain's Quarters to reveal a sizeable stash of Merchants Alliance loot, more lucrative than any other mission blazon provided by the guild, really.

With that cache secured by you and your crewmates, yous still need to notice the voyage's last detail. Swim nether the summit deck and look out for a unique skeleton NPC somewhere down in the lower decks, drowned but still clutching the Merchant Manifest.

Even if you become away with all the loot in the Captain's Quarters, the voyage isn't marked as consummate until you find the Manifest, and then take hold of that, swim upward, and gloat a voyage well done. Now get to an outpost to sell that boodle earlier you get Kraken'd.
