# Insider Patch Notes 2.5.1.1

Insider Update 2.5.1.1 is now live.  This Insider build has reopened to preview future features, however the team’s focus behind the scenes is firmly on finishing remaining work on the Legend of the Veil Voyage and Shrouded Deep Adventures – ensuring they hit our quality bar ahead of release later in April.

As always, if you encounter any bugs, then please head to the 
[Sea of Thieves support site](https://support.seaofthieves.com/hc/en-gb) and let our Player Support team know.

## Adventures

**‘Shrouded Deep’**

* Following Insider feedback, the Title earned from completing the Shrouded Deep Adventure has now been renamed to ‘Summoner of Myths’ to further distance this reward from the exclusivity of the original Hunter of the Shrouded Ghost Title.
* Crews will now receive ‘Notes Received' notifications whenever a character provides them with further instructions.

## Updates

**Morrow’s Peak Activity**

* Morrow's Peak Outpost seems to now be lying dormant due to decreased volcanic activity, meaning crews will no longer encounter island volcanic threats on this island.

## Known Issues

**Rowboat Interactions**

* Rowboats which are collected from islands will now strangely float into the air after rowing them a large distance away from where they were collected.

**‘Shrouded Deep’**

* During Belle and Merrick’s final cutscene, players are still able to interact with them to hear dialogue.
* Players unable to engage the summoned Shrouded Ghost for 10 minutes will find it disappears but does not fail the Adventure, causing crews to be unable to progress.
* Players having already completed the Shrouded Deep Adventure are no longer offered the ability to ‘Replay the Adventure’ from Belle. As a temporary workaround, Insiders can delete their pirate and create a new one to replay the Adventure and hunt the Megalodon in this update.

**Legend of the Veil Voyage**

* Purchasing the highest rank of the Athena’s Fortune company will currently prevent players from being able to purchase other Athena’s Fortune Voyages.
* The Pirate Lord can sometimes disappear during a cutscene, preventing the Voyage from progressing. In addition, walking far away from the Pirate Lord during his cutscene can cause his dialogue to pause and will not resume when returning.
* Crews migrating servers during the Voyage can cause various issues preventing progress.

## Fixed Issues

**Gameplay**

* Players who have rebound the Radial More key will now find their Shanty Shortcut key is now unbound if the same key is selected.

* After summoning the Shrouded Ghost, the battle music will begin around the Killer Whale.

* Crews will now receive a notification on completing the Adventure that a Memento has been earned. 
* Pendragons speech from The Blackwyche can now be heard from a greater distance. 
* Larinna’s note is no longer referenced as a clue. 
* During Belle’s cutscene when first arriving on the Killer Whale, she will now point to spent effigies dotted around the table. 
* Players should no longer hear Merrick sipping at his tankard at an incredible distance away from the Killer Whale. 
* The cannon placed on Mermaid’s Hideaway should now be inside the map circle shown by Belle. 
* After summoning a Megalodon with a flare, the surrounding visual effects now last for the duration of the flare. 
* Players are no longer teleported back to their ship when jumping on the railings at the back of the Killer Whale.
