Sea of Thieves has announced their second Mystery event “The Hoarder’s Hunt”.

Mysteries are a new type of event in Sea of Thieves where players use clues found both in-game and on social media to get to the bottom of a mystery. The first Mystery “Who Killed DeMarco?” follows the death of DeMarco Singh, The Pirate Lord’s son who was killed en route to meet with The Siren Queen.

Through a series of puzzles drip-fed to the community via social media, players were ultimately directed to perform a ritual by playing a specific shanty, at a specific location, at multiple islands across the Sea of Thieves.

The result was a secret location in-game and a short cinematic featuring The Pirate Lord and his family.

This new Mystery, “The Hoarder’s Hunt” appears to be referencing Rathbone the Gold Hoarder. Rathbone was a feared pirate captain who succumbed to a golden curse, pirates face off against him in The Shores of Gold Tall Tale series.

In the current story, after Rathbone’s defeat he re-emerged as part of The Dark Brethren Court. His skull has been stolen and affixed to a Trident of Dark Tides, allowing The Warsmith unfettered access between The Sea of the Damned and the Sea of Thieves.
