Sea Of Thieves has been an interesting title on the Xbox One and PC. On one hand, the game was well crafted in many aspects, and Rare put its typical charm into it to make it shine. However, when it came to content, the game was severely lacking. But, give Rare credit, they’ve been working hard on fixing that. And a new patch is helping to fix that even more. For with the arrival of patch 11.6, players are now getting the Sunken Curse event.
“Rumours of artefacts beneath the waves are being whispered across the Outposts, and as usual the Bilge Rats already know all about it!” the patch notes said. “Underwater statues and dangerous curses are amongst their tavern tales, so take a deep breath before diving into this Bilge Rat Adventure!”
Yep, you’re about to go deep sea diving to find treasure and loot, but that’s not all you’ll do.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown of the event itself:
Cursed Mermaid Statues are the latest addition to Sea of Thieves. Hidden in the shallows around island shores, they radiate ancient magic. For this adventure, the Bilge Rats are challenging all brave pirates to seek out and destroy the statues. Not all statues are bound by the same curse but they all regenerate health over time, and while some will require more firepower than others to destroy, no more than four players will be required to destroy even the toughest statue.
As noted by the patch notes though, there are plenty of other things to find during this event. There are many treasure chests to be found as well, and you can earn both cosmetic items and new titles through this event.
The event is going on now, and it’s clear that Rare will continue to bring more events to the game.
