Reaching Pirate Cove and maze
Spawn your boat at Fisherman Island docks and sail to Pirate Cove, the new island from the January 12, 2026 update.

Complete the dynamite quest by finding four TNT sticks to blast open the entrance near the Carpenter NPC, then swim the waterway with diving gear purchased for 75,000 coins.

Inside, enter the maze and hug the left wall to reach the Dead Man Skeleton NPC quickly.

How to complete Dead Man Skeleton quest for Leviathan's Wrath
Talk to the Dead Man Skeleton NPC to start the quest: find four letters hidden in Pirate Cove treasure chests. These chests respawn every 10-30 minutes and drop letters (prioritize 20 dloon ones), though some give coins or tenders instead.
Step 1: Locate the chest
Exit the maze, reset to Pirate Cove surface, and head right from the dynamite entrance to spot the only letter-dropping chest on the map.

Step 2: Farm letters patiently
Open the chest for a letter, wait for respawn (check frequently), and repeat four times—no other chests work. Speed up by staying nearby.
Step 3: Return to NPC
Swim back through maze (hug left), deliver letters to Dead Man Skeleton.

Claim Leviathan's Wrath Rod skin instantly—it equips as a visual upgrade without gameplay changes.

How to get Dead Man's Compass
Boat to Lost Isles (northern map edge), equip diving gear, and swim down near the trident-shaped rock before entering the main isle.

The compass sits plainly underwater here—no quests needed, but prior dynamite access helps navigation. Pick it up for Captain Jones' Black Pearl quest, which also requires a Leviathan's Rage mutated fish.

Lost Isles features Sisyphus Statue and Treasure Room for high-rarity fishing, but focus on the trident rock chasm for the compass.
Integrating into Black Pearl quest
Deliver the compass and mutated fish to Captain Jones on Pirate Cove docks for Black Pearl rewards, tying these items into the event's core progression amid new fish and secrets.
