Fate of the Damned
Fate of the Damned Weekly Changes
Larinna now offers a single Voyage each week during the Fate of the Damned Campaign and these Voyages now align with the Challenges available to players each week:
- Week 1 - The Search for Wild, Plentiful Shadows of Fate Voyage
- Week 2 - The Hunt for Hidden, Ancient Shadows of Fate Voyage
- Week 3 - In Pursuit of Prowling, Devilish Shadows of Fate Voyage
- Week 4 – All Voyages
Ghost of Graymarrow
- The Ghost of Graymarrow encounter at the end of a Voyage has now been rebalanced as an easier encounter to allow players of all skill levels to progress the Fate of the Damned Voyages and Challenges. The true Graymarrow challenge remains on the Fort of the Damned!
- The Ghost of Graymarrow has a reduced knockback range, to prevent players being knocked off smaller islands during the encounter. His damage to players has been reduced along with the difficulty of his summoned skeletons and Shadows of Fate.
Voyages of the Damned
- Bilge Rat Crews will no longer be shown with an ‘X’ on the Island Map.
- While on a Voyage, defeating an ambush by Shadows of Fate will reward the crew with a Skull of the Damned.
Known Issues
Fate of the Damned
- When tackling a Voyage, crews may find that the red, pink, green and white lanterns are missing from the target islands.
- In Pursuit of Prowling, Devilish Shadows of Fate Voyage - Lanterns and Map Fragments can be found submerged below the floor so the player cannot interact with them.
- Fate of the Damned Voyages have placeholder text in the Black Market.
- Fate of the Damned Rewards have placeholder text in the Black Market when using non-english language settings.
Challenges of the Damned
- When completing Challenges there will be no pop-up to show that the Soulflame Weapons have been acquired.

- Players wearing a crew costume will sometimes have the costume unequip after migration.
Weapon Effects
- When firing and reloading the Pistol and Blunderbuss, a flicker can be seen during the animation.
- When firing the Eye of Reach, the audio effects do not match the reloading animations. Switching to an item can also cause the reload audio to play on the newly switched item.
