Welcome to the first Festival of the Damned, celebrating the spookiest time of the year on the Sea of Thieves! The Bilge Rats invite you to honour the Ferryman, whose creepy craft allows pirates to live forever – despite the number of times they meet a sticky and often hilarious end. Raise a tankard and light your lanterns as we visit the Ferry yet again and share stories of our brushes with fate!
How to Get Involved
Speak to Duke in the tavern to learn all about the brand new Festival of the Damned!
The Ferryman has unveiled the Well of Fates, a sacred part of the Ferry of the Damned that contains the mysterious Flames of Fate! The Flames change colour depending on how you arrive at the Ferry – did you get eaten by sharks again, or lose a fight with a salty pirate?
Use your lantern to capture the coloured flame and bring it back to the land of the living, where you can light your ship lanterns or ignite the beacons placed by the Bilge Rats across the Sea of Thieves. Share your story as you celebrate being pirates for all eternity!
