All Investigations in Skull and Bones

Unveiling the secrets of the Seas.

Investigations are treasure hunts in Skull and Bones, which see you searching for clues and uncovering secrets to succeed. There are a dozen of them available to solve for rewards.

You start unlocking Investigations after completing the first activities of Skull and Bones. You can get them by bribing Sainte-Anne residents and Telok Penjarah (after eavesdropping on their conversations), finding messages in bottles, or sinking ships. Look for rumors as soon as they pop on your map, because they disappear after a short time.

While some Investigations only require you to check out shipwrecks or outposts, others take you plundering. Here is the full list of Investigations in Skull and Bones.
