This High Seas Heist quest guide in Skull and Bones will go through everything you need to know to complete this quest and find the treasure.
To complete this quest, you’ll need to follow the quest marker, defeat the large ship, and then locate the treasure by following the map.
Let’s explain how to locate the large ship and where to find the treasure afterward.
How to Find the Large Ship
To find the large ship (aka the Royal Louis), follow the quest marker and look for a ship that’s shooting fireworks. It’s easy to spot from afar, so there’s no way to miss it.
Since you’ll be traveling far, check our guide on how to view and track quests in Skull and Bones to ensure you can get as many quests as possible in one trip.
The hard part is taking it down since it has a lot of HP. Additionally, smaller ships will join the fight against you after a while.
The best strategy here is damaging the small ships when they get too close and keeping some space so you can safely use your repair kits. Do not dive straight in, as you’ll sink before having enough time to repair.
However, once you take down the large ship, the quest won’t be complete. Instead, you’ll get a treasure map which you’ll need to follow to find and steal Caradec’s Bounty.
High Seas Heist Treasure Location
To find the High Seas Heist treasure map in Skull and Bones, head to the west side of the large island west of St. Anne Port and find the Royal Burial Ground in the location shown above. Once you get there, explore the island to find the ‘X’, which has multiple spawn locations.
The outpost will be the same for every player, but the ‘X’ location varies. For me, it was on the top right side, right after entering the outpost and heading up the stairs. Other players have found it near the middle or on the far left side.
The easiest way to find it is to explore around the island and look for an orange light and an ‘X’ mark on the ground or wall.
Wrapping up
To summarize this Skull and Bones High Seas Heist guide, you can find the Royal Louis on the far West side of the map. Take it down and loot the treasure map to start the second part of the quest.
Then, you can locate the treasure by heading to the Royal Burial Ground location and finding the ‘X’, which spawns in a random location on the island. And that’s all!
Where did you find the ‘X’ on the island? What do you think about the quest system in the game so far? Feel free to share your ideas and feedback in the comments below.
