The Art of the Trickster

"An infamous trap-maker knows of the Shroudbreaker - but will she turn out to be friend or foe?"

The Art of the Trickster is the sixth Tall Tale in the Shores of Gold arc. A disillusioned Trapmaker has been employed by Briggsy to protect a Shroudbreaker stone.

Walkthrough
The Walkthrough for this Tall Tale is incomplete. Until we provide the complete version, head on over to the Rarethief Walkthrough of this Tale.

Opening
To start the tall tale head over to Plunder Valley to find Salty, he is located on the east side of the island. Look for a shipwreck on the beach and you will find a campfire with Salty perched over the book. Oh and by the way, Salty is a parrot. A dead one!

The Trapmaker hid the tools required to find the key to her vault at a cave in Plunder Valley. The skeleton corpses must be re-positioned to match the riddle, which will activate the cage that will grant the Trapmaker's Spyglass and Notes to continue to the next island.

The Trials of a Trickster
There are tons of ground markings on the island, but the provided map will specify the correct marking to stand on. The marking will point in the direction to use the Trapmaker's Spyglass, the overlay in the spyglass aligns the eyes with two objects in the environment to reveal the buried object indicated by the X. These objects can either be physical objects, and/or cave paintings. The final object buried is a that will trigger an approaching wave of explosions that will destroy the key. Escape the island with the key and head to the Trickster's lair in Sailor's Bounty.

The Lair of a Trickster
The underground lair is defended by pressure plates and spikes, the way is indicated by the logo painted on the walls. At the end of the lair is a pedestal to fit the Trapmaker's key. Waves of skeletons will then spawn before a boss Captain of the Lair appears, who will drop the vault key and the notes directing to the vault.

The room sports some wall levers that will trigger some spiked traps that have a wide area-of-effect, but these traps can also kill pirates that happen to stand in the area.

The Trickster's Stone
The vault will unlock immediately after lighting the table, but the door will shut and a wave of Skeletons will spawn. The boss drops the medallions to be inserted into the table, and pressing the solution key will spawn the next wave.

Submit the Shroudbreaker stone to Salty to finish.
