Dead Man's Grotto is an area within the Sea of the Damned, visited during the A Pirate's Life Tall Tale. The Location is a cave complex that must be traversed to eventually reach Sailor's Grave. In the first chamber, pirates will acquire the Flame of Souls which is used to light lanterns and braziers throughout the tale. Along the way, pirates will be greeted with ghostly voices from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.

Dialogue

Along the way, pirates will be greeted with ghostly voices from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride:

Ghostly Voice

Burn, bright accursed light, upon tales of old and ill deeds, long past...

(After passing through the gate)

DEAD... MEN... TELL... NO... TALES...

(After lighting all three lanterns in this area)

DEAD... MEN... TELL... NO... TALES...

(After entering the shipwreck area)

Ghostly Voice

If ye be brave enough to proceed, the curse of Dead Man's Grotto awaits ye...

(After leaving the shipwreck area)

Ghostly Voices

(Distant Singing) Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me...

(After proceeding up the cave)

Ghostly Voice

DEAD... MEN... TELL... NO... TALES...

(After passing through the door)

No fear have ye of evil curses, says you?
Arrrgh... Properly warned ye be, says I
Who knows when that evil curse will strike the greedy beholders of this bewitched treasure?
DEAD... MEN... TELL... NO... TALES...

(After lighting the lantern on the crate)

(Ghostly rowboat appears travelling down the stream)

Ghostly Voice

Sit closer together, and keep your ruddy hands in board! That be the best way to repel boarders!
And mark well me words mateys... Dead men tell no tales!

(After lighting the lantern by the drawbridge)

Ghostly Voice

DEAD... MEN... TELL... NO... TALES...

(After entering the treasure room)

Ghostly Voice

The truth lies before ye... In this place, dead men'll always have tales to tell...

(After crossing the dropped bridge)

Ghostly Voice

Perhaps ye knows too much... ye've seen the cursed treasure. Ye know where it be hidden
Now proceed at your own risk. These be the last 'friendly' words ye'll hear
Ye may not survive to pass this way again...

Ghostly Voice

DEAD... MEN... TELL... NO... TALES...
