Where to Find

The Reaper’s Chest can be found:

• Random chance to spawn in Shipwrecks.
• In the Fort of the Damned Vault after its completion.
• Chance to be uncovered from a Skeleton’s Orders Treasure Map.
• From specific Mercenary Voyages.

The presence of a Reaper's Chest is marked in two ways:

• First, the location of an untouched Reaper's Chest is indicated by a Red and Green pillars light swirling into the sky that can be seen from anywhere on The Sea of Thieves. The light will disappear as soon as the Reaper's Chest is picked up.
• Second, every Reaper's Chest's location is shown on every Ship's Map Table, indicated by a circular red Reaper’s Mark icon. This mark will be shown on the map at all times until the chest is turned in. This mark may lead players to a Reaper’s Bounty instead, as the two share the same Reaper's Mark.

Pirate Chat

The Unique Pirate Chat dialogue option for the Reaper’s Chest is: "This is cursed! Others will be coming..."
