Crossbones Isle · Week 2

Four starts, four routes

Choose a route near your landing and keep an exit toward the next safe zone.

  1. Northeast islandShoreline dig
  2. Fortune’s Fort waterfallHidden cave
  3. Lantern Landing stone frogsThree-statue puzzle
  4. Cursed CavernVertical cave sweep

Routes are based on published footage and guides. Check the current map and chest availability in your match.

Squad & solo route planning

Run a timed chest sweep

Measure completed chest searches per minute across a few matches. Start the timer when you land, count each Search once and stop when you leave your route for the safe zone. Include travel, fighting and waiting for access in the elapsed time. For example, 18 searches in three minutes beats 24 in six minutes on pace: six per minute versus four.

Pick a start that matches the lobby

  • Lantern Landing: Start with the buildings. Use the Giant’s Battlefield puzzle as an optional second stop if the circle and nearby players allow it.
  • Buried treasure: Start on the northeast island if you have a safe crossing. The Chest is a separate buried-loot option on the west side of the island.
  • Squad split: Send pairs to separate clusters, call out cleared buildings and regroup before rotating. Four players can produce up to four times the solo chest count if each keeps the same pace.

Fortune Plundarrgh reveals nearby chests and adds pickaxe and movement speed after opening one. Treat scan resets and structure breaks as unverified for token farming. If you find a key, check the Vault patch and entry guide before detouring. Fortune Plundarrgh abilities.

Route 01 · Shoreline dig

Northeast island

Start on the small offshore island northeast of Fortune’s Fort. Give yourself a clear return toward the mainland.

  1. Land on the small island

    6:48

    Look for the offshore island in the top-right corner of the map. Touch down on the sand and keep the mainland in view.

  2. Sweep the beach

    6:57

    Follow the shoreline and dig up the sand mounds you encounter. A Fortune Sprite can reveal nearby chests. Use Search once the lid is exposed.

  3. Rotate back to the coast

    7:05

    Leave before the storm cuts off your return. If the route is clear, sweep the nearby wooden shelters and camp for unopened chests.

Route 02 · Hidden cave

Fortune’s Fort waterfall

Approach the waterfall east of Fortune’s Fort. The route uses a pickaxe wall, a low gap and an emote wall.

  1. Walk through the waterfall

    5:25

    Approach at water level and pass through the curtain into the rock corridor.

  2. Break the first wall and crouch

    5:36

    Use your pickaxe on the first interior barrier. Crouch or slide through the low gap into the next part of the cave.

  3. Emote at the final wall

    5:43

    Perform an emote beside the wall at the end of the passage. Enter the room when it opens, then search the chests you find.

Route 03 · Three-statue puzzle

Lantern Landing stone frogs

Head south from Lantern Landing to the pool at Giant’s Battlefield. The three statues sit around the shore.

  1. Find the three plinths

    5:54

    Start on the shore and locate all three frogs before crossing the pool. Follow the path around the water or use the lily pads.

  2. Turn the frogs inward

    6:01

    Use Interact on each statue until it faces the central island. Check the direction in case someone has already turned it.

  3. Check the island podium

    6:09

    After all three frogs face inward, cross to the podium. The published puzzle guide shows two Rare Chests appearing together at the center.

Route 04 · Vertical cave sweep

Cursed Cavern

Look for the dark crater east of Giant’s Battlefield. The walkable platforms and ziplines give you a way down and an exit.

  1. Pick an exit from the rim

    6:20

    Before dropping below the edge, spot a zipline or a walkable route back up and check which side faces the next safe zone.

  2. Search one level at a time

    Follow the visible platforms down and check nearby loot before moving to the next level. Keep the exit in view.

  3. Check the center if it is safe

    Players describe chests appearing around the green center near in-game noon. Treat this as an optional check, then take your planned exit.
