The fifth adventure of Sea of Thieves is now live and everyone is invited to look for The Forsaken Hunter. It’s all about "Merry" Merrick, who appears to have vanished without a trace. This event ends on July 14.
For those new to the game, Merrick was first introduced as the fearless fisherman in The Hungering Deep. Since then, he has become a familiar face to a lot of pirates. Lately, he’s been leading the restoration of Golden Sands, a beloved Outpost now in ruins due to the nefarious schemes of Captain Flameheart.
It seems that after winning against The Reaper’s Bones, Merrick has gone missing.
As the fifth adventure, that means those new to the game need to go through the first four. To make things easier, be sure to check the latest in the series of Adventures Ahead primer articles.
Start the Search
