Sea of Thieves | Stars of a Thief Tall Tale | Vault Puzzle Guide and Solutions
So we’ve found ourselves in another Vault. Lovely. Not only that, but this vault bears a strong resemblance to the Vault in The Shroudbreaker, which we all remember started filling up with water as soon as we activated the Altar. This Puzzle follows the same path, and once activated, will give you a limited time span to solve the puzzle before youDIE.You only have one chance at this, so if you think you’re stuck, skip to the section below that provides the solutions!
Before we begin,if you made it on this page by mistake when looking for another part of the guide, you can find those parts of the guide in the list below. For this section, you will need to have obtained the Spy Glass, the Star Jewels, and the Vault Totem. If you haven’t found all of those, follow the appropriate link below.

Step One - Option One: How to Solve the Puzzles
Vague terms in this game are beginning to become commonplace. It makes sense. The game is centered around pirates, after all.Before you begin the puzzle, make sure to note all the names and descriptions of the Constellations. These are vital to solving the Puzzle. If you don’t want to write them down yourself, we have also provided the complete list below. This will make it easier to quickly reference the Constellations, so you won’t end up flipping back and forth through the book.
The Vault Puzzle for this will follow a similar pattern to the Puzzle in The Shroudbreaker. Upon lighting the braziers, water will begin to fill the room, and you must rotate the pillars to match the correct sequence outlined in the Quest Book.
However, unlike The Shroudbreaker, the Quest Book doesn’t have pictures this time! Instead, you will need to interpret two stanzas to a poem that was written by the spacey and wistful Sudds. The two parts of this poem have four lines each, and each line will be a clue. So, now you might be asking:What do we do with these clues?
The whole line is not the clue, but the clue is mentioned somewhere in the line. You must match a short phrase in each line to the correct Constellation listed above (or in the book, if you’re using that). An example of this would beOld Mother is angry.If you look at the descriptions of the Constellations, you will see Old Kraken saysOld Mother, chained by the Ancients.
With this, you will know that the first line is telling you to turn the pillar pillar to the image for the Old Kraken Constellation. Following the same method, you can turn the other pillars to their appropriate image. There are several different possible stories for this puzzle, so yours is likely no the same as ours. Again, use the guide above that best suits the story you have in your Quest book.

When you have completed the Vault Puzzle, the water in the room will clear and a mechanism will drop part of the wall. In this section of the wall you will find the red Shroudbreaker Stone. This is the final item you need for the quest! To finish this Tall Tale, head back to The North Star Seapost, and offer it to Sudds.
