Sea of Thieves - The Secrets of "Hoarder's Hunt"

The Beginning of an Exciting Adventure

Arrrr, gamers! Come aboard, for we are setting sail on the trail of the legendary "Hoarder's Hunt" from Sea of Thieves. This virtual pirate adventure kept us on the edge of our seats for a whole month with puzzles, cryptic clues, and intense parrot listening. But now, the search is over. And what prizes there were! A real golden skull, silver keys, and medallions of the Reaper's Mark – a truly royal pirate loot!

Phase 1: The Mysterious Challenge of the "H"

Our adventure began with a cryptic challenge from none other than "H". He dared the Gold Hoarders to exclude certain pirates from his plans. Some words in his message were capitalized, leading us to an Instagram post that showcased an artfully squished banana – manipulated so precisely that it formed the image of the Gold Hoarders. The first puzzle piece was in place.

Phase 2 and 3: Of Feathered Friends and Artistic Talents

In phase two, things took a turn towards the avian. "H" sent another message, this time featuring birds. On the official Twitch channel of Sea of Thieves, a message from "H" was transmitted. It showed a pair of parrots in the tavern, squawking different words. Should we learn the language of birds, perhaps?

In phase three, "H" revealed themselves to be quite the artist. Their latest message was accompanied by images of Gold Hoarder portraits, some of which were damaged with unusual scratch marks. Another puzzle for our astute pirates to solve!

Phase 4 and Conclusion: The Treasure is Found!

In the final phase, the Sea of Thieves account released a brief addition from "H", urging the pirates to find them. They displayed a mysterious chest adorned with nautical symbols – could this be the treasure? Well, in the end, the treasure hunt finally came to a close. And our enigmatic "H", now known as Hogarth, remains undiscovered.
