And while it does seem like one of the most elusive commendations in Sea of Thieves: A Pirate's Life, the Tale of Eternal Sorrow is actually rather easy to get once you are aware of what you need to do.

First things first - you will need to defeat the Kraken which should not be a particularly hard task to complete.

Once you are done with the behemoth, head to the Queen’s room, but just before you are about to enter you will find yourself in another room with strange-looking faces carved into stone.

And these heads are exactly what we need in order to unlock the commendation, and not all but just one of them - the one which is exactly above a locked stone door.

Once you find it, you just need to shot the face, and you will unlock the previously inaccessible area hidden behind the stone door.

Go through the now-open door and inside you will find five scriptures on the wall, right next to the Mermaid King.

Now all that has left is for you to read the five scriptures, and that's it, you can now unlock the Tale Of Eternal Sorrow commendation!
