Initial version
How My Sea Adventure Began is the main story quest that immediately follows I Need a Bigger Boat. The quest teaches base-building progression tied to ship outfitting and concludes with the player's first open-sea engagement before arriving at Tortuga. There are five objectives in total.
Completed I Need a Bigger Boat and the player has a seaworthy vessel
Speak to Doctor Galen at the base to trigger the next phase
Build the Shipwright's Workshop at camp. Use the build menu; the recipe is unlocked by quest progression.
Craft 12-pounder cannons for the ship at the Shipwright's Workshop.
Approach the Wharf and interact with it to open the Ship Gear screen. Slot the 12-pounders into the ship's cannon slots.
Board the ship, approach the wheel, and press E to Steer the Ship. Sail to the objective marker on the map.
Engage the pirate vessel in your first ship-to-ship combat. Bring the enemy hull low, then close and initiate Boarding to finish the fight.
Sail to Tortuga Market (final objective marker).
Outcome | Notes |
|---|---|
Access to Tortuga | Unlocks all four faction stalls, the global market, and many follow-up quests |
First equipped cannons | Unlocks real naval combat; cannon crafting loop now established at the Shipwright's Workshop |
Further Galen quests | Returning to the Doctor after arrival pushes the story toward Revenge Is Best Served Cold and The Bitter Pill |
Stock Repair Kits and at least two cooked food buffs (see Cooking Recipes) before the ship battle.
The Perfectly Ordered 12-Pounder plans are worth pursuing long-term for better cannon damage. See Perfectly Ordered 12-Pounders.
At Tortuga, drop a Fast Travel Bell near the market so return trips are one jump.
