Ahoy, mateys! With Sea of Thieves sailing strong into its third season, the waves are churning with more adventure than ever. The massive 'A Pirate's Life' update, a legendary crossover with Pirates of the Caribbean, has brought Captain Jack Sparrow himself into the fray, along with a treasure trove of new Tall Tales. One of the most sought-after commendations in this sunken saga is 'Pieces of Silver,' requiring pirates to track down five elusive Silver Blade journals hidden within the depths of The Sunken Pearl Tall Tale. These journals aren't just scraps of paper—they're keys to unlocking exclusive seasonal rewards and diving deeper into the haunting lore of the Silver Blade crew. Let's chart a course to find every last one! 🗺️⚓

First up, 'A Run of Good Luck.' This journal sets the stage for the mystery. As you descend into the sunken ruins, you'll reach the first major puzzle room with the imposing siren statues. Don't just stare at the puzzle! Scan the perimeter. Tucked discreetly behind some wooden wreckage right next to one of those statues, you'll find your first clue. It's a relatively easy spot, perfect for getting your sea legs in this journal-hunting quest.

The second journal, 'An Ancient Mystery,' requires a bit more... aquatic thinking. You'll find it in the same initial puzzle room, but it's completely inaccessible until you solve the room's main mechanism. Here's the trick:

1. Complete the siren statue puzzle to activate the ancient machinery.

2. Watch as the room slowly fills with water flowing from a giant stone head.

3. Once the water level is high enough, swim over to the right side of that stone head.

4. Look for a siren statue positioned there. Just above that statue, nestled in a small, seaweed-draped alcove in the wall, the journal awaits. It's a classic Rare puzzle—using the environment itself to hide secrets.

Journal number three, 'Unwanted Company,' marks your arrival at the heart of the citadel. After navigating past the puzzles and into the grand central chamber, you'll be greeted by the dramatic sight of a massive ship split clean in half. Swim towards this wreck. Your target is the left side of the ship's broken hull. Explore the skeletal remains of the interior, and you'll discover the journal resting amidst the debris, a silent witness to the vessel's final moments.

'From Bad to Worse' is next. Deeper into the citadel's labyrinthine passages, you'll encounter another, even larger shipwreck. This isn't just a fragment—it's a substantial chunk of a ship's structure, possibly the bow or stern section. Board this wreck and comb through its innards. The journal is typically found in a central, sheltered area within this hulk, often on a broken beam or lodged in a corner, continuing the grim tale of the Silver Blade's fate.

Finally, the grand prize: 'Don't Look for Us.' This one is a multi-step puzzle that tests your platforming skills. You'll enter a vast chamber dominated by a shipwreck suspended by chains and a pulley system.

• Step 1: Locate and interact with the pulley mechanism to lower the large section of the ship down into the water.

• Step 2: Carefully jump onto this now-accessible ship section.

• Step 3: From the ship, look for a natural rock cliff that juts out nearby. Time your jump to land on this outcrop.

• Step 4: From the cliff, you can access a different, more intact wrecked ship. Swim or climb inside.

• Step 5: Navigate to what would have been the captain's quarters. There, perched proudly on top of a wooden crate, you'll find the final, foreboding journal. Reading it completes the set!
