Smuggler's Bay and the Hermit's "Cave"

  • Just wanted to pass on information about Smuggler's Bay Riddles.
    My Crew and I got a riddle stating we had a task that needed us to go and read the map at the Hermit's Cave. Whelp if you have been to Smuggler's Bay there is only one cave that is noticable. We tried to solve our riddle for over 1 hour.

    Turns out the Hermit's cave is just a fire pit with what looks like a camp out on the right side facing the island. It is indeed West on the island but I wouldn't say all the way west.

    I know there are riddles for this place though that involve playing music, reading a map or shining a light.

    Just wanted to pass on the information that the actual cave is not the true place and it's on the right side of the island. Save yourself some time ;)

  • Is this the riddle that shows three separate pirate captains? Something about "seeking knowledge, buried in bone"? Or a different one all together. We could not figure it out.

  • @dageek That sounds like a bounty rather than a riddle.
    The bounties have a picture of a skeleton (or multiple) along with its name and some bold text stating the location.
    The light text seen around the bounty isn't relevant and is duplicated on all bounties.

    Thanks. I have had some riddles where the directions they give are way off where I actually have to go.

  • @shutupandfire What you described is exactly what I have. Three skeleton captains on it. I cannot, for the life of me, find them or where to go. We're on Smuggler's Bay (as it suggests) but can't find them anywhere. We spent about an hour looking around. Is there something we need to do to trigger it?

  • @dageek Nothing is really needed to trigger it, there should just be some random skeletons on the island somewhere, when you kill them it will spawn additional waves of skeletons. Eventually spawning your bounty target.

    Sometimes they can be hard to find but you should hear a music que when nearby, like a ominous music. That gives you a rough location.

  • @shutupandfire Hmm, it may be bugged then. We wandered around the "noise area" for about thirty minutes before checking other areas. There were four of us and it's not exactly a large island, so I'd like to think we were thorough. Killed as the skeletons that spawned repeatedly - they only spawned three at a time and were large gaps between waves. Thanks!

  • @dageek This was a different one.

  • @racmop Yeah we almost gave up.
