# Insider Patch Notes 2.5.1.2

Insider Update 2.5.1.2 is now live. The ‘Shrouded Deep’ Adventure and the Legend of the Veil Voyage have some seen some tweaking since your last update, so be sure to test them out and please head to the relevant feedback threads in the Insider Programme Hub to let us know how you find them.

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’ Megalodon Balancing**

* The difficulty of the summoned Megalodons has now been reduced, allowing smaller crews to defeat the beasts and collect their souls for the ritual.

**‘Shrouded Deep’ Final Encounter**

* The ‘Graymarrow’s Orders’ final battle shortcut has now been removed. Crews must work together to collect four charged effigies on the Ritual Table and play the ‘Summon the Megalodon’ shanty with five players to begin the final encounter with the Shrouded Ghost.

* Players will now begin to hear Belle and Merrick speak during the final battle. Further battle voice over will continue to arrive in future Insider’s updates.

**Shrouded Ghost Figurehead**

* The Shrouded Ghost Figurehead now has a revised description, removing any confusion of a time-limited nature and clearly defining that is awarded to all players who defeat a Shrouded Ghost in the wild both before and after the Adventure.
* The Shrouded Ghost Figurehead has now also been removed from Larinna’s Adventure rewards shop as it is not related to the Shrouded Deep Adventure.

## Legend of the Veil

**Legend of the Veil Reward Balancing**

* The amount of Emissary Grade progression earned for the Athena’s Fortune Emissary has been reduced, to ensure that crews will now reach Grade 5 by completing the Voyage after collecting all treasure along the way.

## Updates

**Emergent Threat Balancing**

* Sirens encountered below the waves will now have longer pauses between abilities to give players more breathing room between attacks.

## Known Issues

**‘Shrouded Deep’**

* During Belle and Merrick’s final cutscene, players are still able to interact with them to hear dialogue.
* The barrels on the Killer Whale do not currently replenish resources.
* 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.

**Legend of the Veil Voyage**

* 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**

* Rowboats which are collected from islands will no longer strangely float into the air after rowing them a large distance away from where they were collected.

**‘Shrouded Deep’**

* Merchant Trade Goods Voyages should no longer direct players to the wrecked Killer Whale for hand in.
* Players having already completed the Shrouded Deep Adventure are now offered the ability to ‘Replay the Adventure’ from Belle.

* When approaching cannons used for the Adventure, the interaction for loading the summoning flare should no longer flicker on and off.
* Players can no longer unload a summoning flare from a cannon.
* Approaching the Killer Whale now displays appropriate banners and audio.
* Firing the summoning flares from an island cannon now plays the intended fuse audio effects.
* After defeating the Shrouded Ghost, players joining the crew should no longer see the beacon in the sky form the final encounter.

* The final battle now ends once the Shrouded Ghost is defeated and not when the beast finally sinks into the depths.
* Kraken encounters can no longer occur around the Killer Whale.
* Chapter complete banners now display when placing a charged effigy on the Ritual Table.
* ‘Item Received’ notifications no longer appear during the cutscene and will now appear afterwards.
* Players now receive a notification when items have been removed from them.

* All notes received from Belle now have ghostly glowing effects.

**Legend of the Veil Voyage**

* New iconography implemented for Ranks 20 to 30 within the Athena’s Fortune.
* Purchasing Rank 30 in Athena’s Fortune no longer locks players out from purchasing other Pirate Legend Voyages.

* The ‘Master Banisher’ Commendation now has revised unlock criteria for each grade.
* The pirate phrases when holding the Quest Book correctly identifies the Legend of the Veil as a Voyage and not a Tall Tale.
* Players standing on the Veil of the Ancients while sailing should no longer stutter.

**Legend of the Veil – Shipwreck Graveyard**

* Items hidden behind paintings now require the painting to be moved before the item can be taken.
* Merchant Alliance Cargo retrieved from Shipwreck Graveyards can now be sold for the consistent value as those discovered outside of the Voyage.

**Legend of the Veil – Haunted Forts**

* The intended Athena’s Fortune rewards are once again made available on destroying the Haunted Fort.

* Players should no longer find missing geometry around the Haunted Fort structures.
* Emergent threats should no longer occur shortly after defeating a Haunted Fort encounter.
* Players should no longer experience a short stutter when approaching a Haunted Fort as the swirling tornado appears.

**Environment**

* Players should no longer become stuck under tree branches on Old Faithful Isle.

**Visual and Audio**

* When equipping the Ghost Hull, all beams on the sloop now have the darker coloured wood.
