Sea of Thieves: The Legend of Monkey Island Continues With ‘The Quest for Guybrush’

Mêlée Island has need of you once again! It’s time to return to Sea of Thieves, The Legend of Monkey Island, an incredible crossover that kicked off in July, beginning a journey to reunite players with the legendary Guybrush Threepwood and defeat the villainous Captain LeChuck – all within the world of Sea of Thieves. Today sees the arrival of the second Tall Tale in the trilogy, promising a wave of new excitement and experiences…

The Tale So Far

Players were granted their first foray into this new playground last month in the opening Tall Tale, ‘The Journey to Mêlée Island’. In this initial adventure, taking place deep within the Sea of the Damned, players were introduced to a distorted reflection of the classic Mêlée Island.

The players had to solve the puzzles, as a threatening fog covered the entire island. Guybrush Threepwood was installed in an unlikely role of governor. By working their way through puzzles, befriending locals with small acts of service and finding enough coins to pay their way when they couldn’t, the story gradually took shape.

Eventually, an audience was obtained with the esteemed Governor Guybrush, followed by a fierce battle with the ghost pirate minions of Captain LeChuck and – for pirates who emerged victorious – a final stop with Corina at the International House of Mojo.

Discover New Mechanics

It’s time to move on with the story! After Captain Kate received the news that Corina had found a solution to free Guybrush of his illusion, she recruited pirates to help her carry out this plan. To craft the cure, you’ll need to journey back to Mêlée Island in search of three symbols of true pirate courage. These symbols can only be found by the bravest, most sly pirates. So keep your head on as you discover more about the island.
