An Ashen Captain's Riddle Quest is an Ashen Riddle voyage for the Gold Hoarders in Sea of Thieves.

Quest Table

The Voyage can be found under the Gold Hoarders category at the Quest Table's voyage menu.

Before starting the voyage, players can choose how to travel to their location. They can either Sail to Location or Dive to Location. Both options need to be voted on by the crew, while the latter will cause the ship to dive when reaching open seas and resurface at the correct island.

The Voyage

Succesfully voting on An Ashen Captain's Riddle Quest will provide the crew with one Riddle Map having four lines printed on it.

The first riddle will always state the name of the large island in the Devil's Roar and upon setting foot on said island the next riddle will become visible. The second and third riddles will always direct players to a single landmark of the island, often with general compass directions or descriptions of the location of the landmark. When the players have located the landmark, they will need to perform one of the following actions while standing still by the exact location: play a shanty with their instrument, read the Riddle Map or raise their lantern light. Once the correct action is performed at the correct location, the landmark and the Riddle Map itself will give off a sign (often rumbling or glowing lights) that the riddle has been solved, revealing the next line on the Map.

The final riddle also leads players to a specific landmark on the large island, however this time, players will need to stand at the exact location, equip their compass, determine the specific directions stated on the riddle and walk a certain number of steps/paces towards that compass direction. The final treasure will be buried in that direction, exactly that many steps away. Players can count steps by holding their compass close to their face with Primary Use. Once at the correct location, they will have to use their shovel to dig up the treasure item.

The Voyage is considered completed as soon as the chest has been dug up.
