It’s now time for a different kind of story. The Wild Rose Tall Tale takes you through the love story of two pirates, Rose and George. They have gone missing and it is up to us to find them!
Like the two halves of Rose and George’s heart pendant, this guide is best when used together with its other half: the interactive SoT companion map. There you’ll find an entire marker series devoted to these steps in the Wild Rose Tall Tale Guide.
You can find the web version of the interactive SoT companion map here.

Step 1: Wild Rose Tall Tale Book
You will want to head over to the Order of Souls tent on Sanctuary Outpost. This is where you will find the Tall Tale book.
Once you vote on the book it will be added to your Map Radial and Madame Olive will explain the dire situation. Is the fate of Rose caught up in the destruction that Briggsy created? Does Rose know where one of the Shroudbreaker pieces are?
Step 2: Find the Chest of Memories
The pages in the book will mention where the couple stored their Chest of Memories. Some common islands on which you can find the Chest of Memories include:
- Sandy Shallows near the Northern most rocks.

Step 3: Find the Box of Spices and the Music Box
The newly acquired pages will contain two different stories that will lead you to the Spice Box and the Music Box. The pages you gathered from the Chest of Memories describe where you will find the Box of Spices and the Music Box.
However, the location descriptions will only make sense once you reference the stories from the first 16 pages.
The items will be buried where Rose and George are standing in the image.
Below are some of the possible stories you might encounter…
Our First Kiss
Our First Kiss will take you to the Lagoon of Whispers where you will dig up the Spice Box. Match where the couple is standing in the image of the story to the physical location on the island to find your digging spot.

Our Vows
You will want to sail over to Smuggler’s Bay for this story.
The solution to this story is to read one word of each page at a time swapping between the two pages. The solution reads as follows:
We pirates take each other to be awful man and wife. To have and to hold, for better or worse. For the rest of our scoundrels life. We’ll remain in love, through Marauder’s Arch all the way to Glowstone Cay. From where we now stand, on Smugglers Bay to Thieves’ Haven and away. Always yours, with treasure and grog, until we’re gray and old. We’ll keep in good health in shipwreck and wealth ’til the Ferryman no longer bears our souls.
You will wind up on the top arch of the island. Stand just West of the bridge to dig up the Music Box.
