All journal locations in Sea of Thieves – Lords of the Sea Tall Tale

Words from Captain Jack Sparrow himself.

The Lords of the Sea Tall Tale in Sea of Thieves: A Pirate’s Life is mostly focused on ship combat, but there will be occasional segments where you must go on land. There are two sets of collectible journals in Lords of the Sea: the Journals of Forsaken Souls and the Journals of the Black Pearl. The journals in each set are quite close to each other in proximity, and each set of five will give you a different commendation.

Once you reach shelter in the Spire, you will encounter ghost pirates holding candles. Once you see them, hug the left wall and move forward. Near the third pirate on the left you encounter will be a journal.

As you progress up the Spire, you will cross a wooden plank bridge. There will be a ghost pirate on the left side of the entrance — go through, and to the right of the second ghost pirate you see on your left will be another journal.

A Strange Escape

Eventually, you will climb a tall ladder leading to a crow’s nest. Up ahead is a brig, — enter, turn left, and underneath some plants is a journal.

From the brig, turn right and slide down a shipwreck to a pool of water. Hug the right wall, and next to the second ghost pirate hidden against the wall is a journal.

Climb up the shipwreck near the previous journal and you’ll immediately reach another ghost pirate. To her left is a journal.
