So you have found the key to the treasure chest and now you want to take the loot for yourself. It's the best option for a pirate with no shortage of time and a thirst for gold that could match the Hoarders themselves.
The first thing you will need to do is find the safe. There are six treasure chests spread across the Sea of Thieves, and each safe has its own matching key. Each key has an inscription that gives players clues on where to find the safe. Once you're there, use the key to open the door, but make sure your crew is ready to loot. After the vault door opens, a timer starts giving players around three minutes to get away with all the loot they can.
In the vault, pirates will find heaps of gold, treasure chests and various trinkets. The best treasure you can find, however, is hidden behind multiple layers of puzzles.
To reveal the Chest of Ancient Tributes, the most valuable loot, you must first find all the medallions in the vault. Medallions will be brighter than all other items in the vault. These can be found on the ground, on scaffolding, or in any pile of gold.
- Take each medallion and place them in the central altar
- The first medallion will reveal an object, go to the leftmost pillar and change it until it matches the medallion
- Continue for the second and third pillars to the right of the first
- The fourth pillar, all the way to the right will not have a corresponding medallion, but will instead have three different symbols. Change this pillar to match the original three medallions.
- If done correctly, the Secondary Vault will open and the Chest of Ancient Tributes will be yours!
Pirates must be quick with their plunder. If a pirate is stuck behind after the vault doors are closed, they will drown when the vault is flooded.
Once you escape with your new loot, you'll unlock new accolades and veils. If you are successful with the Chest of Ancient Tributes, you will earn an additional reward and a set of Veils.
