Skull and Bones Sails into the Supernatural: A Voyage into Uncharted Waters

The world of Skull and Bones was already a brutal arena. Here, cutthroats battled for supremacy, fortunes were won and lost in a whirlwind of cannon fire and sharp steel. But now, a darkness, unlike any other, threatens the high seas.


The salty breeze carries whispers of cursed captains condemned to roam the ocean and phantom ships that materialize from the mist. Sailors tell tales in hushed tones, their eyes wide with fear, of monstrous creatures lurking in the uncharted depths. The horrors they describe defy the understanding of even the most hardened pirates.

The Curse of Captain Philippe Peste

Skull and Bones Season 1 introduces players to the supernatural forces of Captain Philippe Peste. He commands the legendary pirate ship, La Peste, a name synonymous with doom. This is no ordinary pirate; he is a man cursed, seeking a cure in the perilous waters of the Indian Ocean.



His ship, equipped with plague bombs, wreaks havoc on anything they touch. As a player, this addition is both terrifying and exhilarating. The thought of encountering La Peste, a ghost ship shrouded in mystery with glowing red weak points, adds a thrilling dimension to the game. Battling this formidable foe might even reward you with exclusive items like a blueprint for the flamethrower.

A New Layer of Complexity

The introduction of supernatural elements adds an otherworldly complexity to the game. It's not just about battling rival pirates or evading the law anymore. Players must now contend with the wrath of supernatural forces, adding a thrilling twist to the already exhilarating gameplay.

Mysticism and Folklore

The supernatural forces in Skull and Bones aren't confined to cursed captains and their accursed ships. The game promises new world events steeped in mysticism and folklore. As more pirates swarm the Indian Ocean, they will face challenges not of this world.


Engage in the Oceans Apart contract to potentially battle the elusive Maangodin ghost ship, or uncover the secrets of the Oubliette Outpost. From ghostly apparitions to cursed treasures like the tarnished ring, these supernatural forces test the mettle of every pirate daring enough to face them.

Integrating the Supernatural

The integration of supernatural elements with the game's mechanics is intriguing. The curse that plagues La Peste has tangible effects on gameplay. The plague bombs are a new weapon that players must learn to use effectively or defend against, focusing on those red weak spots for maximum damage!


Hunt for ethereal ashes and the mysterious chest, valuable loot that can be exchanged with the mysterious rogue for exclusive items.


Navigating the Raging Tides

As players navigate through the Raging Tides of the game's first season, they encounter an Indian Ocean more alive and mysterious than ever. The supernatural forces add unpredictability to the game, ensuring that no two voyages are the same.


Mastering weapons like the mortar or precision drilling bit will give you an edge while navigating these dangerous waters.
