Sea of Thieves' Trial of Thievery


Sea of Thieves' Trial of Thievery

'The Quest for Guybrush' Tall Tale lets you step foot on the iconic Melee Island and get up to all sorts of pirate trouble. The Trial of Thievery in Sea of Thieves is the second of the Three Legendary Trials to help save Guybrush from the clutches of Lechuck's mysterious spell.

However, as you might expect from the first Legend of Monkey Island Tall Tale and the Monkey Island video games, completing the Trial of Thievery is no clear-cut task, and you'll need a somewhat devious sleight-of-hand to complete the task.

Luckily, our walkthrough guide is here to lead the way and help anyone who may be stuck beginning and completing the Trial of Thievery in Sea of Thieves' 'The Quest for Guybrush' Tall Tale.

How to speak to Stan at Stan’s Preowned Vessels

Before completing the Trial of Thievery, it's best to complete the Trial of Treasure-huntery. Once ready, visit Stan's Preowned Vessels as marked in your quest logbook map.

Sit on the barrel in front of Stan's office for a Memoir Location, and read the journal by the rowboat near the second grog machine. Afterwards, ask Stan about the four ships on display by selecting their nearby signs.
