Voyage stages

The Legendary Search for the Skull of Destiny is not composed of Chapters, and instead gives the crew access to a Wayfinder of Legends Compass in their Quest Radial Menu. With the help of the Compass, they will be able to locate and dig up the Skull of Destiny.

At the start of the Voyage, players will gain access to a Gold and Purple Compass that is located at the top of the Quest Radial Menu. This Compass can be interacted with the same way players interact with their own Compass, however, instead of showing Compass directions, the Compass needle of the Wayfinder of Legends always points towards the location of the buried Skull of Destiny. The needle points towards the general direction of the Skull, swaying left and right. The closer the Player is to the location of the Skull, the narrower and faster the needle moves. When the Player is above the digging location, the needle will start circling around as if it lost its direction. Players need to use their Shovel to dig up the Skull at this location. Once the Skull of Destiny is discovered, the Wayfinder of Legends Compass will be removed from the Quest Radial Menu and a small number of Shadows of Fate will appear nearby.

Rewards

The only reward for this voyage is access to the Skull of Destiny, a powerful Ritual Skull that is also imbued with the Flames of Fate, allowing for one to easily start a Fort of the Damned (Raid) without acquiring all the Flames of Fate beforehand.
