Listen to Sir Arthur Pendragon

Once you start the tall tale, the ghost of Sir Arthur Pendragon will appear from the painting and talk to you. He will talk to you about helping trapped souls in the Sea of Thieves.

Receive the Book and Enchanted Lantern

Sir Arthur Pendragon, captain of the Blackwyche, will give you a book and a special lantern for this Tall Tale. You will be reading from the book for hints of the next steps while the lantern will be essential to progress the tale.

Follow the Ghost Ships to the East of Shipwreck Bay

Reading from the book, you will know to look east from Shipwreck Bay and you'll find three ghost ships in the distance. Head back to your ship and sail towards the ghost ships.

Each time you approach them they will disappear and a new set of ghost ships will appear in the distance. Look around for these ships and continue to sail towards them.

The Ghost Ships Will Lead You to Captain Martha Jane's Sunken Ship

After following the ghost ships around, you will be lead to the ghost of Captain Martha Jane's ship which has sunk in a battle with the Ashen Dragon. Get close to the sunken ship and anchor your ship there.

Use the Lantern and Dive Down to Find the Rest of the Shipwreck

Bring out the Enchanted Lantern and dive down where the sunken ghost ship is, the lantern will reveal the rest of the wreck. Find the body of Captain Martha Jane which should be slowly sinking down. Take her skull which will be below where her body is.

Look for Pendragon at the Nearest Island

After taking the skull, head up to the surface and look for Pendragon at the nearest island. You should be able to see him holding his sword up.

Give Martha Jane's Skull to Pendragon

Approach Pendragon at the island and give him the skull. He will free Martha Jane's soul and she will tell you about Randal Stone, the captain of the third ghost ship from the three that you saw. You will now need to track Randal Stone to progress the tall tale.

Find the Next Ghost Ship

You will have a new page added to the book that describes an island in writing and with a sketch. The page will also tell you that the Ashen Dragon will be visible from this island. Find the island described in the book which will differ depending on the page you receive.

Fetcher's Rest Hint

Kraken's Fall Hint

Follow the Ghost Ship That You Can See from the Island

After heading to the island described in the book, you'll be able to see a ghost ship at a distance somewhere around the island. Get back to your ship and sail towards the ghost ship.

Just like the last time when you followed ghost ships, approach them and a new ghost ship will appear in the direction the ship was facing.

The Ghost Ships Will Lead You to Captain Randal Stone's Sunken Ship

Again, after following the ghost ships, you will be able to find the ghost of Captain Randal Stone's ship that has been sunk by the Ashen Dragon. Get close to the ship that's still afloat next to an island and anchor your ship there.

Get on the Island and Use Your Lantern

Get on the island next to the ghost ship and use the Enchanted Lantern. The lantern will reveal traces of events that happened during the encounter between Captain Randal Stone and the Ashen Dragon.

Follow the Footprints to Captain Randal's Death

Keep using the lantern and follow the footprints on the island. Be wary of any enemies that might spawn to fight you.

Dig at the End of the Footprints

At the end of the trail of footprints, you will see a skeleton shooting Randal Stone dead. Dig on the ground where this happened and you'll be able to find Captain Randal Stone's skull.

Give Captain Randal's Skull to Pendragon

Pendragon will appear near your location where you found the skull. Take the skull and give it to him, he will free Randal Stone's soul and you will obtain hints on where to find the Ashen Dragon.

Find the Last Ghost Ship

Read the new page added to the book and it will show you a sketch of some islands saying that we can pick up the trail of the Ashen Dragon from there.

Possible Locations for the Last Ghost Ship

Brimstone Rock
Molten Sand's Fortress
Ruby's Fall

These are just some of the possible locations the book will tell you to go. If your page looks different from the pictures, just look for the island with the same shape as the sketch on the map table. It should just be around the Devil's Roar region.

Follow the Ghost of the Ashen Dragon

Once you reach the island where the page told you to go, look around and find a ghost ship around the island. Just like before, sail towards the ghost ships and continue following them.

The Ghost Ship Will Lead You to Flintlock Peninsula (W-14)

The ghost ship will lead you to Flintlock Peninsula but be sure to approach the ghost ships as you travel there. Do not go straight to the island. Once you arrive, get close to the ghost ship at the island and anchor your ship there.

Use the Lantern to See the Funeral Procession

Get on land next to the ghost ship and use the Enchanted Lantern. The lantern will reveal traces of a funeral procession held by some skeletons carrying a sarcophagus.

Follow the Procession by Using the Lantern to Reveal Footprints

Follow the footprints in the sand by holding up your lantern. Continue following the footprints and it will lead you to a chamber with a giant skull.

Reach a Chamber at the End of the Funeral Procession

Approach the conspicuous skull and Pendragon will appear to open a hidden passage through it. You will find the sarcophagus from the funeral procession inside.

Open the Sarcophagus and Take the Ancient Skull

Once you go inside the hidden passage, you will see the skeletons putting down the sarcophagus. Set aside your lantern and you will see the actual sarcophagus is still there. Open it and take the Ancient Skull from inside.

Defeat Captain Adara

Leave the hidden room through the same path you took to get in. You will see Captain Adara waiting for you outside, put down the skull and defeat the enemies.

Give the Ancient Skull to Pendragon

Give the Ancient Skull to Pendragon who is waiting for you outside. He will free the soul from inside and you will witness the conclusion, the tall tale is now completed.
