The pirate presence in Crimson Desert is centered around the Vellua region, a fishing village that has been threatened by pirates who worship their leader as a god. The most notable pirate-related content involves The Singing Catfish, a pirate ship anchored southeast of the Vellua Stronghold, surrounded by floating proximity mines.
The ship's captain, Sir Catfish, leads the pirates from this vessel. Within the ship, players can find the Pirate King Hat, a special headpiece with the Detect Treasure ability. When equipped, its feather glows brightly whenever the player is near a treasure chest (within approximately 15 to 20 meters).
The Dead Pirate King referenced in this map's description may be a former pirate leader whose treasure was hidden before the current pirates took control of the region. The map's clues are written in a way that requires the player to match the sketch to a real location on the continent.
The exact acquisition method for this treasure map has not been fully documented by community guides. Documents of this type are typically found through exploration, as quest rewards, or purchased from NPC merchants.
Like other treasure maps in Crimson Desert, this document likely contains a sketch showing terrain features without naming the location. Players must match the drawing to a real place on the map.
The Pirate King Hat from The Singing Catfish can help detect nearby treasure chests, which may be useful when searching for the treasure this map points to.
The Beyond the Silent Waves faction quest chain in Vellua deals with the pirate threat and may need to be progressed before certain pirate-related items become accessible.
