I've always had a naggin' feelin' that there was more to that there island than meets the eye, glad to see your intrepid explorations bared fruit!

Lots of games harbor secrets like these, especially MMOs. Usually, it's somethin' that was abandoned during development at some point, or it served as an early test bed for somethin', or, and I think this is the least likely, it's for some upcoming update. Perhaps we shall never know, but don't let that stop you from exploring more corners of the seas.

I also thought that it was just an abandoned project/test bed at first but the room before going up the stairway seems too perfect? Correct me if I’m wrong but from memory I don’t think I’ve seen the stone walls that are in the lower room anywhere else. Also, these walls are set up in a certain way that it just feels right to believe it’s for a future update that possibly gives us more info on the Merfolk. I might just be thinking too much because I’m excited that I found this little secret though! 😋

Edit: pretty sure the walls are just your genuine ‘ruins’ walls

I did some testing myself. If you look from the bottom of the steps to the top left, you can see that the steps end by a standing torch. On the SW side of the island, next to the breach entrance, you can see four standing torches lining the tunnel through the island. I’m guessing that if this is to be a new location in the game, this will be the entrance.

Aha, I’m also exploring the cave and around the island a little more to see if I can find anything of interest. I was about to bring up the torch but it seems you beat me to it

We already have Wanda’s lore, taking place at Wanderers Refuge where she has her own hideout. Could this be related to a mermaid stronghold holding a valuable relic of some sort? The room seemed small, so I’m guessing It’s not for an individual. Maybe a relic needed in a future update to summon some horrifying creature? Who knows, maybe it holds the curse that that resulted in the Merfolk.

@musicmee whaaat???
I did read @Skulliah post on another thread about Crook's Hollow " Wall " being his new secret hideout... Now you tell me this?! Are you hiding something from me? Do not do this to me! I demand answers! 😁😜

@nunoazuldimeter The Mermaids Hideaway Secret Tavern?

A quest that took you down into a deep dark cave with Skellies would be so fun.

Possibly the new land boss they’re working on? 👀😋 It could drop a key like the skull fort captains which gives you access to the cave! Although I doubt it would be a boss.. something similar perhaps?

@nunoazuldimeter Fingers crossed!

@xstubbo I think you just found some unfinished business going on there. Eheheh.

Could this means we'll be investigating some mermaid lore in the depths of mermaid hideaway in a near future?? I do hope so!

@musicmee I was hoping that it might be something do with with the mega update or possibly an abandoned project from earlier updates

@xstubbo Oooooooh, some nice cave exploring there!

I wonder if we can get Rare to cave in and tell us what secrets this cave holds, that is if its not just a bug??!

@xstubbo

That's interesting. I would probably suggest you to help Rare investigate this and raise a support ticket with your video just there: https://support.seaofthieves.com/hc/en-gb/requests/new.

Cheers :)
