If you’re following the pirate’s goal of amassing enormous wealth, you’ve probably been striking out on many voyages provided by the Gold Hoarders. This guide will help you solve the riddle that is part of the A Prize Raided by the Notable Dirty McMurtrie voyage.

As part of this riddle, you’ll be vising Shark Bait Cove. This island is surrounded by sharks, so be extra careful as you swim to and from your ship.

Shark Bait Cove Riddle

For gold to Shark Bait Cove you sail, but I’ll take a wager you will fail

Like most first lines in riddles, this just refers to the initial location. Head to Shark Bait Cove and make landfall to reveal the second line of the riddle.

At the shark statue on the North outer ring ye are almost there, 5 paces West dig treasure bare

Shark Bait Cove is riddled with shark related paintings. Don’t let those confuse you though, you’re looking for an actual statue. You’ll find it on the northern outer ring, like the riddle says, but it’s a little bit buried in the jungle that’s growing there. Look for a torch on a post just nearby and be aware that skeletons will spawn as soon as you start digging and hit the chest.

That’s the riddle of A Prize Raided by the Notable Dirty McMurtrie solved! For help on further riddles and how to be a successful pirate in general, be sure to visit our Sea of Thieves Guide Hub.
