Maiden Voyage

The Maiden Voyage is a standalone introductory Tall Tale released with the December 2019 Sea of Thieves Festival of Giving (2019) Content Update.

Mechanics [ ]

The Maiden Voyage can always be accessed from the Main Menu.

The Maiden Voyage is very different from any other Tall Tale in game, but it listed as such under the Reputation Menu with its own Commendations , Rewards and Titles .

The main difference is that this Tall Tale is a Solo adventure and cannot be voted on. Instead, Players are tasked with completing this Voyage after creating their Pirate in the Infinite Pirate Generator and before setting sail to the Sea of Thieves . The Maiden Voyage can always be replayed from the Main Menu, where there is a designated button for the Voyage in the bottom-right corner.

The Maiden Voyage [ ]

The voyage [ ].

The Old Sailor's Isle on the Map.

The main NPC related to this Tale is the ghostly Pirate Lord himself, guiding the Player through the main aspects of the game on Old Sailor’s Isle , a Large Island hidden in the Devil’s Shroud .

Players are introduced to Eating Food , fighting with Weapons , using Equipment items and a Treasure Map to dig up an Old Sailor's Chest , maintaining a Sloop ’s Mast , Repairs , Sails , Anchor and Wheel and shooting Cannons .

After all of these actions are performed, the Player can then sail through the Devil’s Shroud towards The Sea of Thieves .

Pirate Lord Dialogue [ ]

Pirate Lord

You look a little worse for wear, my friend. You must be on quite the journey. I should eat something, if I were you. A full belly can do wonders for your spirits. Once you’re in good health, we’ll speak properly.

After eating the Banana

There, you look better already. Maybe even strong enough to reach the Sea of Thieves. These days they call me The Pirate Lord, but back when I discovered this place I was just a bold explorer like you. I dreamt of finding uncharted waters filled with treasures and rife with danger, where every sunrise brought a new adventure… You’ve been brave to make it this far. Not many do. Now you’ve one last crossing to make. You’ll want some trusty steel at your side, though. There’s a sword in those trees whose owner doesn’t seem to need it any more.

After receiving the Cutlass

There’s far more to being a pirate than a blade in your hand and a love of other people’s money. It’s about finding your way through ancient caverns by lamplight, digging up long-lost treasures… … and raising a frothing great tankard of grog when you live to tell the tale! For all of that, you’ll need the right equipment. You can start by taking this old shovel.

After taking the Shovel

I stowed a few belongings around here back in the day. The map will show you the way.

After giving the Old Sailor's Chest to the Pirate Lord

Ah, my old chest! Let’s see if she still hides her secrets.

After switching to the Flintlock

A fine weapon. She’ll serve you well out there.

After you are done with your Equipment

There! Now you look like a true pirate. There’s plenty more to see, so why not stretch your legs and explore? I’ll be here when you’re ready to leave.

Once you are ready to leave

Well now, I’d say you’re as ready as you’ll ever be for what’s ahead. Allow me to show you the path… The Shroud is beginning to part, but you have one more task before your journey continues. You may be ready to sail, but your ship still needs repairs. Go, and tend to her wounds!

Other Interactions [ ]

Cooking and fishing [ ].

In addition to the base mechanics, Old Sailor’s Isle is hiding the introduction to a couple of additional mechanics, hinted at in the Maiden Voyage Commendations , hidden in the Tall Tales section of the Reputation Menu.

Curious players can learn the Cooking of food, by either killing any of the Island’s Chicken for Meat , or catching some Fish with a Fishing Rod (which by itself is introduced when taking out the Fishing Rod Item) and putting these Food items on a Campfire . There are two Campfires on Old Sailor’s Isle , one right by where the Player spawns near the Pirate Lord , and another hidden inside a Cave.

Cannon Fire [ ]

Players are taught how to use the Cannons once they are aboard their Sloop , however attentive players will find an additional Cannon on the shipwreck of the Magpie’s Fortune with a handful of Cannonballs in the Cannonball Barrel below. Here, players are taught that they can not only shoot Cannonballs out of Cannons, but also themselves!

The Rowboat Cave [ ]

At the Island with the tallest Peak, players will find a closed off door with a Lever to open it. This will lead players to a hidden Cave with an additional Campfire and two steps of interactable objects to reveal the Cave’s final secret. The Player will need to drop a drawbridge by using a Capstan and then use a Pulley to lift another wooden door. This will lead players to a lonely Rowboat with a complete tutorial on how to use these small vessels.

Secrets [ ]

Despite being a Tutorial Island, Old Sailor’s Isle has quite a few secrets hidden away, which are all hinted at in the Maiden Voyage Commendations . The most notable Secret is the Rowboat Cave described above, however there are still a few hidden valuables on the Island. Upon careful searching, players can find up to 10 Journals hidden away on Old Sailor’s Isle , which are all documented with their locations at the Journal subsection below.

The ultimate hidden secret of Old Sailor’s Isle, is the Pirate Lord ’s Hideout below the Magpie’s Fortune. A more attentive player can find that there is a locked hatch below the massive shipwreck, seemly requiring a key.

One of the hidden Journals hints to the location of the key.

The Journal you are looking for is hidden on the Shipwreck of Magpie’s wing. Look towards the skies!

The Old Sailor’s Key was dropped in the fresh-water pond that is above the shipwreck of Magpie’s Fortune. It is underwater along the edge of the waterfall.

Once unlocked, Players can find the final Journal and 3 chests of Gold worth 25,000!

Pirate Lord's Journals [ ]

There are 10 Journals written by the Pirate Lord that are hidden on Old Sailor’s Isle during the Maiden Voyage. All 10 of these Journals have to be found and read for A Storied Crossing Commendation . The Journal transcriptions are presented below, with the Expand button showing the exact locations of each Journal. Reading these Journals are also part of Seasons ' Trials.

Regarding Merfolk [ ]

Outside of the door on the shipwreck on the Northwestern point of the Island.

A new landmark! This stricken ship certainly wasn't here during my last visit. There's no sign of her crew, so perhaps they fell overboard and met their end. Things are very different on the Sea of Thieves — thanks in no small part to my own adventures, I must confess. We have an… arrangement… with the merfolk who live deep under the waves. Should any pirate become lost at sea, stranded, they'll help them back to their ship. If you should find yourself flung overboard, traveler, look for the merfolk's beacon before the sharks get your scent. You'll be glad you did!

The Sea of the Damned [ ]

In the cave behind the waterfall southwest of the campfire .

Not all my journeys to this island are happy ones. Today I stumbled onto this poor soul, map still in their hands. To think, they were so close… No matter how swiftly we sail or how sharp our aim, it is only a matter of time before the Reaper's hand clamps down upon our shoulder. I am fortunate to have had a friend with wisdom enough to know this. Thanks to her, I live on beyond my years… at least in spirit. For younger pirates, another hope presents itself. When they perish, their souls are saved from drifting alone through the Sea of the Damned. If you should die on the Sea of Thieves and find yourself in the Ferryman's company, know this: he deserves your respect, for he has made the greatest sacrifice of all...

They Gave It a Name [ ]

On the railing to the right of the shipwreck Magpie's Fortune's wheel .

'The Sea of Thieves'. That's what they're calling it nowadays. The genie is out of the bottle, and more pirates are finding their way there every day. Some are looking to hide — from their enemies, from their pasts, from the Grand Maritime Union - while others have heard the call to adventure. It's only a matter of time before they reach this island, too. Maybe they'll be dreaming about the Sea of Thieves has to offer, just as I was. If that's the shape of things to come, I'd be a fool to complain. Instead, I'll stow a few supplies around the place for those who need them. Things work differently beyond the Shroud. Better, for the most part, but newcomers will have to think on their feet if they're to survive.

Lost Secrets [ ]

On the railing of the shipwreck Magpie’s Fortune's crow's nest .

Blast it all! The key to my ship's hold is missing. It must have slipped from my pocket at some point in my time here. Between this and that business with Rathbone, I'm developing a bad habit of losing the keys to my belongings. Perhaps it made its bid for freedom from my jacket when I climbed up for a drink of fresh spring water. It's another lost treasure now.

So Near and Yet… [ ]

Resting next to the broken barrels on the lowest level of the front half of the shipwreck Magpie’s Fortune.

You've really done it this time, Ramsey. It's one thing to return to your favorite island and quite another to wreck your ship at the heart of it! I was bound to get careless sooner or later. This place has been my little secret for so long now. I couldn't wait to get back here. To dream… I'm so close to the Shroud, I feel like I could reach out and touch it. I'm not ready to sport a hook for a hand, though. Not yet, anyway! What lies on the other side? Piles of glittering gems? Huge leviathans the size of galleons? Even better… Might there be a future for pirates like me? Next time, things will be different. I'll visit Magpie, the Shipwright, and buy a new vessel. Take my time, find a crew. We shall sail together.

The Lords of the Sea [ ]

Resting on a rock in foliage to the left of the ladder under the bridge below the shipwreck’s bowsprit.

Once, long ago, I was standing atop these cliffs and staring out to sea, quite lost in my own thoughts. Suddenly, there was an almighty crashing sound. It was a kraken, and one of the largest I'd seen for quite some years! I was so startled, I couldn't help but take a leap backwards in surprise. Once I'd picked myself up, battered and bloody, I decided to install this ladder in case any future visitors took a tumble in the same way. Nowadays, thanks to that fool Merrick, krakens aren't the only sea monsters to watch for. Megalodons are once more roaming freely beneath the waves. They can prove quite the challenge even for experienced pirates. Why, I once battled a monstrous pale skinned beast at—well, I'll save that tale for another time.

Paintings from the Past [ ]

At the camp near the peak of the second island.

Of all the unsolved mysteries that haunt my dreams, none are more tantalizing than the long-lost people known to pirates as 'The Ancients'. Their legacy can be felt all across the Sea of Thieves, from ruins that lurk under deep waters to clifftop paintings that shame my humbler efforts. They clearly had a great wealth of knowledge and had mastered many curses and other arcane powers… and yet, something drove them to leave. Maybe some great war or calamity struck their civilization? Perhaps it was simply time for them to move on. The truth, as it always has, eludes us all.

Making Camp [ ]

In a crate by the campfire inside the cave below the tallest peak. Follow the path up from the bridge and use the lever by the portcullis to access the cave.

Even with all the wonders I've experienced, it's the simple things in life remain the most enjoyable. Tonight, that's a hot meal roasted over a roaring fire. Fresh fruit's all well and good, but if you take the time to properly prepare a meal, you'll feel all the better for it. The trick is to keep an eye on the dish and serve it up when it's perfectly cooked. No amount of grog can wash away the taste of burned food. With care and a bit of practice, even a humble splashtail can keep a pirate in good health with a full belly. At least they're good for something!

A Ship That Fits [ ]

Follow the path past the campfire down into the Rowboat cave. The journal is up near the grate to the left upon entering the cave.

We've all seen what happens when huge armadas try to make it through the Devil's Shroud, and it's not pretty. Screaming sailors and splintered ships. I learned long ago that smaller crews have a better chance of making it along the twisting routes that provide safe passage to the Sea of Thieves. A lone traveler is best served by a sloop. They're small and nimble, though their size comes at the expense of firepower. Larger crews must learn to sail a brigantine, or even the mighty galleon - a commanding sight with her eight cannons and three great sails. Then, of course, we have the humble rowboat. These tiny craft can be carried by the other larger ships and are perfect for retaining the element of surprise…

My Secret Plan [ ]

Resting on a stool inside the Pirate Lord’s Hideout. See the Secrets section above on how to access the Hideout.

If you're reading this, you've broken into my strongbox, which makes you a worthy pirate indeed! Worthy enough to hear my plan. Transforming this old stomping ground of mine into a safe haven for travelers has sparked something deep within my soul. It is the flame of an idea — a great tavern, far more magnificent than the usual pubs and alehouses, known only to truly legendary pirates. A den that sold only the finest plunder, where hardened adventurers and cunning sea dogs could meet to swap stories of gold and glory. If you make it to the Sea of Thieves, and should your heart desire a real challenge, heed my words: seek Athena's Fortune. I shall be waiting.

The Sea of Thieves Maiden Voyage is a tutorial with a hidden key - the Old Sailor's Key - used to find a secret treasure located somewhere in the area. In fact, the Sea of Thieves tutorial hides all manner of secrets across the Maiden Voyage, including the Key, numerous Commendations, and various journals left behind by the Pirate Lord, the stout old ghost that's guiding you through everything. Our walkthrough below will take you through the Maiden Voyage in Sea of Thieves, reveal everything hidden in the tutorial, and explain how to find the Old Sailor's Key for the best possible payout.

Sea of Thieves tutorial key location

The big prize in the Sea of Thieves tutorial is a hidden treasure that requires the Old Sailor's Key to open. If you're doing the maiden voyage and haven't found it, you can discover the key to earn a one-off prize of 25,000 Gold.

The Old Sailor's Key in the tutorial is at the highest point of the island, overlooking the shipwreck. From the beach, head up the path to the wrecked ship, and climb up until you reach the deck with the fallen mast. 

The mast acts as a makeshift bridge to the Island's topmost point, where there's a little pool of water and a waterfall that drops back down to the shipwreck.

Sea of Thieves crossplay Sea of Thieves Tall Tales How to fish in Sea of Thieves Sea of Thieves Kraken Sea of Thieves change appearance  

In the pool itself, under water just where the waterfall begins, you can find the Old Sailor's Key buried in the sand. Dive in and pick it up.

Once you have the tutorial key, bring it back to the shipwreck you climbed up through. Fairly easy to spot is a trapdoor/hatch with a lock on it . The key will open it, and inside you can find piles of treasure, lootable for 25,000 Gold total!

Keep in mind that the lootable treasure can only be taken once. If you replay the tutorial, you can't get it again if you got it before, though if you missed the chance the first time around, you can get the treasure if you play it through again.

Do you need to play the Maiden Voyage tutorial in Sea of Thieves?

While you don't have to play the tutorial in Sea of Thieves, the "Maiden Voyage" playable from the main menu, I do recommend you try it if you aren't familiar with the game . While Sea of Thieves' combat is pretty simple, ship sailing and repair is a bit more complex, as are its various UI menus. Considering the whole thing takes only 15 minutes and you can get a big load of treasure to bring into the main game if you find the Old Sailor's Key, I'd recommend doing it if you're not familiar with the game - though it's not essential.

What do you do in the Maiden Voyage in Sea of Thieves?

The Maiden Voyage tutorial in Sea of Thieves is basically an on-rails explanation of the game's core systems - finding treasure, fighting enemies, sailing and maintaining your boat, and so on. 

Though the tutorial itself is linear, there are optional secrets you can find along the way, such as the tutorial key and treasure explained above, as well as any number of secret Commendations, which we've laid out below.

There are ten total commendations to collect. Unlocking them all will also net you your first cosmetics in the game and you won't need to spend a single coin to acquire them. Those include the Pirate Lord's stylish jacket and the sails from his fabled (and now splintered) ship, the Magpie's Wing. Here's a full breakdown of the ten commendations and how to unlock each one.

• A Fine Catch. For this, you need to catch a fish. You can do this by heading to the sea or any of the inland pools of water, like the waterfall base behind you when you first begin the Maiden Voyage. Follow the on-screen prompts to learn how to fish and within about a minute you'll have earned your first commendation.
• A Hearty Meal. Now head to the shore where you'll find some wild chickens running around. Sorry to say, but you need to slash one of these feathered friends and collect the raw meat that's left behind. Now take it back to where you began the voyage. There's a campfire there. Place the chicken in the pan and let it cook. Each food item takes a different amount of time to cook. You'll want to cook them to perfection for maximum healing benefits. Hint: chicken takes 60 seconds. Remove the food when it's browned but not charred and enjoy a second commendation.
• Saluting the Pirate Lord. To "salute" the big man, you'll want to head inland to his can't-miss shipwreck. It's cut in half from the crash and you'll want to head to the left (north on your compass) half. Head up the ladder or stairs until you see the red barrel in the corner, behind a ladder. Don't worry, this one doesn't explode. It holds cannonballs. Interact with it and take some cannonballs up to the top deck. Load the cannon, aim, and fire away to earn a third commendation.
• Hidden Secrets. For this, you'll need to get into the Pirate Lord's "secret hold." We laid this out above at the section about the tutorial key.
• Yer Boat. This one requires you to operate a rowboat. You need only to do it for a moment, but it's sort of well hidden. To get there, cross the low-lying bridge separating the two landmasses. One is where you've been the whole time, with the campfire and the ship. Cross to the other side and follow the path through the rock formation which spirals down to a closed door. Pull the level to open the door and continue on the path until you see a capstan. Turn that to lower another door, which then reveals a cave exit where lies your rowboat. Sit in it and begin steering it to get the next commendation. Note that you can also swim into this cave from the point where you're exiting, but you'll want to be familiar with this area to collect some journals anyway, so it doesn't hurt to take the winding road.
• A Storied Crossing. This commendation takes the longest and requires you find all of the Pirate Lord's scattered journals around the Maiden Voyage island. Like the loot stash, we've given these journals their own section below. Look for "Sea of Thieves Pirate Lord journal locations."
• Unto the Horizon. This commendation pops automatically the first time you complete the Maiden Voyage. If you're all set collecting the journals and the hidden loot, head back to the Pirate Lord down by the beach and he'll tell you to go fix your ship. Like in the intro, just follow the on-screen prompts and in a few moments you'll sail through what is essentially a scripted preview of the otherwise unpredictable adventure that awaits you. A megalodon will swim alongside your ship, a skeleton ship will appear, and then a kraken will rise from its inky depths to swallow the skellie ship whole. As your ship sails through the Devil's Shroud and toward the Sea of Thieves, the opening title sequence appears (quite majestically, we'll add) and your commendation for completing the voyage will be unlocked.
• The Adventure Begins. This one is earned for getting all the other commendations shown above, like a Platinum Trophy. The final two commendations award cosmetics and they pop once you've earned Unto the Horizon and The Adventure Begins respectively. You can do this across multiple playthroughs, so don't worry if you didn't finish off the list in one go. Enjoy your new sails and jacket. If you still need help finding the journals or the secret cache, read on.

All Pirate Lord journal locations in the Sea of Thieves tutorial

There are 10 journals in total to find in the Maiden Voyage, and if you're interested in the lore of Sea of Thieves, they're definitely worth reading when you find each one. Here's where you can find the whole collection. They can be found in any order, but we've tried listing them in a way that flows with your playthrough should you be going for all commendations on one run.

1. Regarding Merfolk

The first journal is under water at the sight of a shipwreck right next to where you dig up your first chest as part of the tutorial. Dive in, swim under a bit of wreckage, and you'll find the first journal.

2. The Sea of the Damned

The next journal is behind the waterfall next to where your quest begins. You may have used this pool to fish. Swim behind the waterfall and find the next journal against the rock wall. What kind of adventure game would Sea of Thieves be without a secret behind a waterfall?

3. They Gave it a Name

For the third journal, head to the shipwreck. On the side with the captain's wheel, you'll find the next journal sitting beside the wheel.

4. Lost Secrets

The next journal isn't far at all. Simply climb to the top of the crow's nest to find it.

5. So Near and Yet...

The last of three journals tucked away on the shipwreck is back on the side with the cannon. Look in the lower deck, hidden in a shadowy corner beside a pair of broken barrels.

6. My Secret Plan

This one is found in the secret hold where you found all the loot from before. If you skipped that step, scroll up and follow the steps to find the hidden loot stash to also grab the journal laying beside the riches.

7. Lords of the Sea

Head to the low bridge that connects both landmasses and look below it for a ladder. Climb down that ladder and search along the rocks beside the water for your next journal.

8. Paintings from the Past

Now head back to the spiral path on the other side of the island, only this time keep heading up it, and then over some rocks, until you hit an overlook with the next journal sitting there.

9. Making Camp

Now return back down to the spiral pathway, and continue down to the door with the lever that opens it. If you were chasing commendations, you may have already opened this one. Right on the other side of it is a campfire with the next journal.

10. A Ship That Fits

Head past the campfire and down the trail some more. Again, if you've already been here, the next door is open. If not, turn the capstan to lower the door and head in to where you either used the rowboat, or you now find one there. Turn around to see a ladder. Climb up that ladder and you'll be met with a caged wall. Along that wall is the next - and final - journal.

With all journals, commendations, cosmetics, and a big cache of free loot all collected, you've now successfully completed the Maiden Voyage to 100%. Now get out there and become Legend, or crash into some rocks, whichever comes first.
