Opening


The Shroudbreaker will be fitted onto the helm to enable the ship to sail into the Devil's Shroud towards the Shores of Gold located on Y-3 (Though not past the map border). Briggsy crashed on the Southwest shore, and found a way into the crypts through a beheaded stone throne among the statues. The southeast is a good position to fire into the opening.

Briggsy explored four vaults on the island that contain the medallions necessary to unlock the compass vault. Kraken= "Always four of the same but had to tread carefully!"

- Briggsy

Briggsy suggests that the solution is the same gylph on all columns. Work quickly so the cascading spike trap does not instantly kill you.

"Far too easy for an adventurer like me! Had to get out of there when I saw some of 'his' minions approaching."

- Briggsy

The Gold Hoarders' banner hangs above as a reference. The length of the logo must be matched on the columns.

"Close to where I 'left' my sloop. this vault has seen getter days. Glad I've been doodling in my notebook."
 * -|Shark=

- Briggsy

Briggsy drew a collection of glyphs enclosed in three circles. These circles indicate the glyphs used in each vault puzzle.

"Up and down and all around. The ancient have hidden secrets in their structures all over this island. guess its time to explore!"
 * -|Boat=

- Briggsy

The vault indicates four structures to visit in order, which will provide the correct glyph for each of the columns. Briggsy has also written these locations.

The compass vault unlocks to provide the Gold Hoarder's coin that will open the door into the crypts below the stone throne. The statue's opening has a lever for the coin carrier to enter.

Belly of Gold
The normal route is destroyed, leaving a trapped passage to traverse. There are checkpoint bells along the path, as well as mermaid statues that will transport you to the ship.


 * 1) Spiked traps that are remarkably quick.
 * 2) Jumping challenge, with a timed section powered by an anchor capstan. (No sprinting required)
 * 3) Swinging spike trap.
 * 4) Skeleton horde room. Door is powered by capstan.
 * 5) Swinging blade hallway.
 * 6) Skeleton horde room. Door is powered by capstan.
 * 7) Large chamber with three levers to open the door, decorated with pressure plates.
 * 8) The bridge to the final chamber is powered by capstan.

Final Battle
The Gold Hoarder's behavior is akin to other skeleton lords, but is far more durable. The enclosed space makes an advantage for his minions with ranged weapons, however is stocked with ammo and food- but this supply is limited, and you cannot retreat from the room. It is recommended to eliminate the ranged minions to make fighting the Gold Hoarder easier.

Conclusion
The Pirate Lord will appear once The Gold Hoarder has been defeated, who drops the Gold Hoarder's Skull.

The Shroudbreaker will despawn upon reentry into the Sea of Thieves.
