Skull of Siren Song Voyage
|
This article is about the competitive voyage. For the treasure item, see Skull of Siren Song. |
The Skull of Siren Song is a competitive voyage in Sea of Thieves.
Availability
As soon as the voyage becomes available on the current server, the crew will receive a notification. At the same time a ghostly parchment titled Captain Briggsy's Note will appear on the ship's main mast.
The crew can then vote to either take part or cancel the voyage. Cancelling has no effect on other crews, they can participate nonetheless.
The Voyage
The Skull of Siren Song Voyage is split into two chapters.
The Search for the Skull
The first segment of the voyage sees all participants given two treasure maps: One that leads to the Key of Siren Song, and another that leads to the Chest of Siren Song (he treasure marked by the "X" on each map is not revealed to participants until it is dug up). The maps will feature two random islands across the Sea of Thieves, giving all participants an equal chance of reaching the treasures before their opponents. Once a treasure is uncovered, its discovery will be made known to all participants both by a popup tooltip, and by a combination of a permanent map marker and beacon, marking the treasure's location for the entire server to see. To reveal the skull, the Chest and Key must be united, and only then can the second chapter begin.
The Race to Captain Briggsy
Upon the opening of the chest, the Skull of Siren Song will be revealed to all participants, and the race is on! Captain Briggsy will be waiting for the skull on a random spot on a random island (often a large island), marked both by a unique map marker and swirling beacon. Participants must make their way to the island and deliver the skull to Briggsy, while fighting against rival crews with the same goal. Whilst the Skull is on a Ship, it will apply a curse to the ship, slowing it down and applying a purple and blue effect similar to the Curse of Sunken Sorrow to the Ship's deck and sails, and when taken ashore, it will cause Coral Skeletons to spawn nearby to attack the Pirate carrying it.
The crew that successfully hands the skull in is crowned the victor, completing the voyage.
