'The Quest for Guybrush' is the second Tall Tale in the Sea of Thieves crossover with Monkey Island. It's the first time you can explore Melee Island beyond the town and Governor's mansion, introducing new tools like ziplines in the game, while completing the mysterious Three Legendary Trials.
No doubt you'll already be familiar with treasure hunting in Sea of Thieves. However, instead of the usual x-marks-the-spot map, you'll need to complete the Trial of Treasure-huntery by digging up three chests with only riddle-like, Monkey dance-themed clues as a guide.
While you can explore Melee Island how you like, it's best to begin the Trial of Treasure-huntery for a smoother Tall Tale walkthrough.
Starting the Trial of Treasure-huntery (Do the Monkey!)
To explore more of Melee Island and begin the Three Trials, you can refer to our Quest for Guybrush walkthrough for how to get started. If you've done that, you'll already have the Do the Monkey clues in your logbook, which you'll need to get the first chest.
