| Smuggler's Fortune | The Seabound Soul (Content Update) | ||
The Fort of the Damned Content Update was released with the 2.0.8 Patch and ran between October 16th - November 20th 2019, featuring a new raid type encounter with Bilge Rats and Mercenary Voyages Commendations, Titles and unlockable cosmetics. The Fort of the Damned Update was preceded by the Smuggler's Fortune and followed by The Seabound Soul Content Updates.
New Features[]
Fort of the Damned[]
Dark forces have seized Old Boot Fort and begun their eerie rituals, twisting it into the Fort of the Damned! Pushing through the mist to reach the island, crews must light the six Ferryman statues with the correct Flames of Fate retrieved from the Ferry of the Damned to release the ritual altar. Sacrificing a Ritual Skull to the altar, crews can summon forth the Shadows of Fate and fight back the horde before facing off against a familiar ghastly apparition. Those fearless enough to take on the Fort will announce their presence to the rest of the world via a new red skull cloud visible to all crews on the horizon. Success bestows a range of high-value rewards from a bountiful supply of Stronghold Kegs, chests and skulls through to a guaranteed Chest of Legends and two Reaper's Chests in the vault. Be sure to check the ship's map! The Fort of the Damned will become a permanent addition to the world after the Fort of the Damned update, allowing players to tackle this threat at any time.
Skull Seeker Voyages[]
Stitcher Jim has warned of the presence of a dangerous new type of Shadow Skeletons ambushing pirates across the seas. While Duke doesn't know the exact locations of these Shadows of Fate himself, he does know where to find Shadow Captains holding treasure maps leading to these dangerous entities. While these treasure maps also lead to high-value rewards, Duke warns players to collect to the Ritual Skulls they find as they will be needed to take on the Fort of the Damned! Duke will even offer Doubloon rewards to players who don't want to take on the ominous Fort. Pick up a free Bounty Voyage from Duke for your region and head out to take them down! Pirate Legends are offered a more rewarding Bounty Voyage allowing them to retrieve multiple Ritual Skulls along with other rewards. All Skull Seeker Voyages are time-limited for the duration of the Fort of the Damned update.
New time-limited Mercenary Voyages to help players acquire Ritual Skulls to activate the Fort of the Damned:
- Skull Seeker Voyage of The Shores of Plenty
- Skull Seeker Voyage of The Wilds
- Skull Seeker Voyage of The Ancient Isles
- Legendary Skull Seeker Voyage
- Skull Stash Voyage - 30

Emergent Skeleton Captains[]
Reports from across The Sea of Thieves tell of roaming Skeleton Captains sighted on islands. These will drop a Villainous Bounty Skull upon defeat, in addition to a Skeleton's Orders map pinpointing the location of a buried stash. These stashes provide a range of high-value rewards, including a guaranteed Ritual Skull and a strong chance of digging up a Reaper's Chest!
Shadow of Fate Skeletons[]
A new type of Shadow Skeletons have been spotted at the Fort of the Damned during a raid. These new Skeletons require the use of Flames of Fate to defeat!
