Sea of Thieves The Quest for Guybrush is the second Monkey Island Tall Tale, following on from The Journey to Melee Island. Part 2 takes you back to Melee Island, but this time, there's even more to see and do in Rare's recreation of the iconic location from the Monkey Island franchise.
However, with such a massive island to explore, you might feel a tad overwhelmed about how to begin. Fortunately, our guide can save you from a lot of head-scratching and backtracking in our Quest for Guybrush walkthrough.
This guide also details the quest rewards and achievements for those of you eager to collect every journal and memoir spot location along your way.
How to start The Quest for Guybrush in Sea of Thieves
To begin The Quest for Guybrush in Sea of Thieves, you first need to select the Legend of Monkey Island in the game menu. After loading into the game as usual, such as on a captained ship, you must then visit Captain Kate Capsize at a Capsize Charters tent found on Sea of Thieves outposts. Begin the quest by voting on the quest book on the table by Kate. You will get a quest log book after a short chat with Kate and the Pirate Lord, and then you can set sail through the nearby portal to get started.
There are also several checkpoints, so you just need to vote for the quest on your ship to resume the last checkpoint.
The story so far in Sea of Thieves The Quest for Guybrush
The quest book contains the island map and story details, indicating Guybrush is trapped under evil Lechuck's spell. So it's up to you to help Corina, the voodoo lady, to brew a potion to break it. However, you must first complete the Legendary Three Trials to retrieve the rubber chicken, Mighty Pirate Sword, as well as a treasure map.
How to explore Melee Island and clear the fog
When arriving at Melee Island, your first step is visiting Corina in her shop. She will subsequently tell you to get permission from the Pirate Leaders in the Scumm Bar to do the Trials and then return to Corina. So now it is time to buy the rubber chicken, sword, and map.
You have no money, but the storekeeper accepts a credit note for the rubber chicken and sword. The Citizen of Melee trades the map for Guybrush's sea chart. You will then get the note and chart from Guybrush's mansion bookshelves and will need to forge his signature.
Buy the map, sword, and rubber chicken, then return to Corina. Take her Mojo potion and pour it in the fire at Lookout Point to clear the fog and reach more of Melee Island for the Trials.
