SUMMER 2022

THE PIRATE ISLAND

The History

Captain Barbarossa with his crew landed on Sosaria, returning from a long journey and dangerous battles in the seven seas, their ship needs some repairs and the crew some supplies before leaving. The Captain is a man respected by everyone in the seas, the story tells of him as one of the greatest pirates who ever sailed the oceans! Taking advantage of the break, the members of Captain Barbossa's crew got to work and agreed on some missions to be carried out before the start of the new journey, among other things they also set up a special area to resell some of the precious objects they found. during their sea voyages!
The Captain, however, during the last voyage suffered huge losses just when he was going to meet one of the most dangerous and exciting of his adventures, in fact it is said that in a strip of sea there lives an enormous marine creature that defends the treasures accumulated by the destroying ships, more precisely this creature was once nothing more than an ordinary Pirate. His obsession with the treasures of the sea led him to an irreversible curse !!

His rather horrible features also terrify anyone and for this he was given the nickname of "Cabeza De Pulpo". His curse keeps him tied to that strip of sea to protect his treasure that from time to time is enriched by those of the ships that try to take it ....
Just when Barbarossa arrived in those dark waters most of his crew mutinied by throwing themselves into the water at the sight of the horrible sea monster, despite this the Captain and part of his crew managed to inflict serious damage on him by knocking the enormous sea monster, but when they were about to start loading the treasures found in that place the monster found forcing them to flee !!! "This being is immortal" claimed the pirates, "Although he no longer had his head he managed to get up and it reappeared" said others!

To date they are only rumors and rumors of the sea, but surely working with the captain there will be a way to collide with the horrendous creature!

Barbarossa offers 7 mini-quests, you can find him aboard his Galleon moored in the party area, the mini-quests can be repeated every 6 hours with all the characters, by completing one you will receive a reward of "Golden Coins" and "Quest Point "plus the Skull of the related mission which has a duration of 24 hours.

FINAL ENCOUNTER

After having completed all 7 missions of Captain Barbarossa you can decide to face the boss "Cabeza De Pulpo", decide with which character to face him, in party or alone. You will have 20 minutes to defeat him!

Summer Quest - In the Depths Of The Seabed

When you own all 7 Skulls from Captain Barbarossa's mini-quests it will be possible to clash with the legendary "Cabeza De Pulpo"! Reaching the ship and talking to the Captain you will be explained what he really wants most of all, namely the head of the sea monster!

In order to have access to the final boss, in addition to the 7 skulls as mentioned before, you will need an additional item, the "A Savage Mechanism - Activator" that you can collect once a day from Captain Barbarossa's ship:

To get the "A Savage Mechanism - Activator" you have to go to the Captain's ship and enter the ship's hold through the Hatch:

When you have all 7 Skulls and the Savage Mechanism Activator it will be possible to activate the altar. Initially you will have to place all 7 skulls on the candlesticks which are marked with the writing of the color of the relative Skull to be placed! Once you have inserted all the Skulls, make sure that those in your backpack have been used correctly, losing their color and donating it to the altar, that is, they have become "white".

When all 7 Skulls in your Backpack have turned white you can go to the center of the Sacrificial Altar and use the "A Savage Mechanism" placed on the table. By doing this, your Skulls and the Savage Mechanism Activator will disappear and you will receive the key in your bag to be able to access the hideous creature's lair to challenge him! To access it you will have to position yourself on the Sacrificial Altar and use the "Summer Quest - In the Depths Of The Seabed" to enter, you can do it both alone and with the help of a Party made up of other companions!

In addition to acquiring the key to access the Boss's lair, you will also receive a good reward in Quest Point and a distinct number of Golden Coins!
Tackling "Cabeza De Pulpo" won't be an easy feat! The horrendous creature lives in a strip of sea and therefore it will be necessary to use the Sea Horses that you will find on the beach, alternatively you can face it by walking on the rocks that lead from the beach to the boss!
