HG - How to Get the Skeleton Curse in Sea of Thieves

The Skeleton Curse in Sea of Thieves is one of the most sought-after rewards for PvP-focused players. This eerie transformation lets you become an undead pirate, proving your dedication to the Battle for the Sea of Thieves. If you’re looking to claim this ghostly prize, here’s everything you need to know.

The Skeleton Curse is a cosmetic transformation that allows players to appear as skeletal pirates. Unlike temporary curses from Tall Tales, this is a permanent reward for those who have mastered Sea of Thieves’ PvP mechanics.

To earn the Skeleton Curse, you must complete the Servant of the Flame journey in the Battle for the Sea of Thieves, which requires:

> Reaching Allegiance Level 100 with the Reapers in the Hourglass faction.

> Entering the Secret Hideout at The Reaper’s Lair.

> Pledging your loyalty to the Servants of the Flame to access the Ritual Table.

> Completing the ‘Burning Heart’ Ritual.

Once you meet these conditions, you’ll earn the Skeleton Curse and gain the ability to switch to your skeletal form whenever you like.

Step 1: Join the Reaper’s Hourglass Faction

- Visit any Outpost and interact with the Hourglass of Fate on your ship.

- Choose The Servants of the Flame to pledge to the Reapers.

- Activate the Hourglass to engage in PvP battles against Guardian of Fortune players.

Step 2: Level Up Your Allegiance

- Sink enemy ships in Hourglass battles to earn Allegiance.
