A bright sky blue light dancing in the middle of the sea will mark the spot and the epic music building in crescendo will confirm it.

Make sure to secure the area which you’ll need to do as you follow debris covered in brightly coloured coral that must be followed. This will guide you into deep waters but don’t hold your breath sailor; instead, aim for bubbles underwater which will assist your oxygen meters and let you explore for longer periods of time.

After a long swim and plenty of beautiful sights, the Black Pearl will be bestowed upon you. Here, you’ll need to find the key to the Captain’s cabin.
