Sea of Thieves' first major free content expansion has just become available. Titled The Hungering Deep , this first of three summer updates for Sea of Thieves adds a few new systems and content pieces and is headlined by a limited time event which includes a few event-exclusive rewa

It isn't just process of elimination, though. The other two trading companies and their quests aren't bad, sure, with decent first-person combat, exploration and general gameplay mechanics, but it's the treasure hunts where Sea of Thieves gets to show off the parts where the most work was put into it. You have to analyze the maps given to you, track down the location on the map, set a course there, arrive preferably without any damage to your ship. Then depending on your map, you either decipher a series of riddles and find landmarks on each island or analyze the geography of the land in order to find the spot marked by a red X, per tradition, then finally dig it up and battle the cursed skeleton horde that appears.

Where to go next is the most difficult riddle of The Hungering Deep. The coordinates of where to summon the shark come from everything said and read so far. The "infernal ridge" hint refers to Devil's Ridge (U-24) and "don’t get too close to the Shroud!" refers to the border of the map, leading to the dead red sea. To find the exact map coordinates, note that the names of all of Merrick's loves begin with "T" and note the journal numbers which add up to "26." B

The final clue, the one bit of info that makes all of Sea of Thieves ' cave paintings and Easter eggs seem like something more, is a piece of concept art Rare showed a while back during a comic convention. It's for a figurehead, as-yet-unreleased in Sea of Thieves , featuring none other than a large bear holding a shield adorned with a red b

Going back to the trading companies, though, the three of them basically dish out the game's main quests from various outposts. There's the Order of Souls, a group of mystics that ask you to hunt down various undead pirate captains and bring back their skulls, the Merchant Alliance, a group of professional businessmen who task you with gathering and delivering various items and animals, and the Gold Hoarders, a somewhat raggedy bunch of gold lovers who request you to find various buried treasure chests through maps and clues. Or to sum up their respective gameplay and missions, "Kill all the things," "Fetch all the things," and "Do things actually directly related to being a frigging pirate."

Merrick offers this clue to look for the "fin-rock that stands in a lagoon" and it's very close by! Head to the center of Shark Bait Cove and look for the fin-shaped rock to find Merrick’s Journal XX which has two pages. The first hint is that two ships had to work together, using the drum instrument, to summon the giant megalodon shark. The second hint, "red haired and fair of face, her tavern stands at a shining place!" which refers to Tina at Golden Sands Outpost (E

It works because a lot care and detail was clearly placed into crafting each island, from every cave drawing, statue, and wreck to the wildlife and foliage. The graphics in Sea of Thieves are amazing in general, nicely blending lush tropical landscapes with Rare's traditional, cartoonish style. The water in general looks astounding, with crashing waves spilling onto your ship as they tilt towards the side and physics are astonishing, with every hit from the ocean delivering a grand impact that you can feel. It almost gets to the point where just simply sailing around is a treat for the eyes.

Gold (Armored) Skeletons - These juggernaut skeletons can be intimidating since they're nearly invulnerable to conventional combat. Thankfully they are the slowest moving and are very weak to water, which makes their gold armor rust. If it's not raining, lure them to a body of water or throw a bucket of water at them and then fight t

Unsurprisingly, it's starting to look like Rare might feel the same way. Sea of Thieves ' first Bilge Rat Adventure, the Skeleton Thrones, will be ending on June 26. Another event is expected to pick up the same day, though Rare has yet to announce what it may be. Rare will have every opportunity to launch a Banjo-Kazooie event in Sea of Thieves , so long as they've planned ahead and laid out preparations. And at this point, most Sea of Thieves players will say, "A

Fans of Rare are excitedly awaiting the anniversary of what might be the studio's most iconic franchise, Banjo-Kazooie . Originally launching on Nintendo 64 in 1998, June 29 will mark the 20th anniversary of the hugely popular 3D platforming game. Fans will be absolutely celebrating, but the question is whether Rare will be too, and what the studio has planned. Players of Rare's newest game, Sea of Thieves , think they might have an idea what's in st
