Tall Tales in Sea of Thieves were implemented to give a sense of adventure to the more casual pirate players. We all took to these quickly and found ourselves obsessively diving into the stories and lore that each one provides. This guide will give you a short run-down of what Tall Tales are in each arc (though there aren’t many yet).
All Sea of Thieves Tall Tales in Order
While all the Tall Tales run together in some way or another, you don’t need to play them all to enjoy the whole story. If you’re looking for a particular quest or want to reach the great loot the later chapters provide, this guide will show you what chapters to unlock to get there! Let’s start this sea-worthy adventure!

Additional Notes
- Checkpoints. Every Tall Tale has checkpoints that save your progress through the story. This featured was added (we assume) because players had a tendency to give up on them if they were accidentally disconnected from the servers. In our guides, we tend to break them down into sections that follow those checkpoints, but not all of them are exact. Saves. Every Tall Tale can be loaded from its previously saved checkpoint by accessing the Tall Tales section when you approach your Captain’s Table and propose a quest in your inventory. Failures. If you manage to lose a quest item or fail a puzzle, you can reload the Tall Tale using the aforementioned checkpoints and saves.
Have you completed all the Tall Tales? Did you know there are Commendations for doing them multiple times? Start over from The Shroudbreaker to collect them all!
