 Type
 Affiliation(s)
* Legend of the Veil

The **Ancient Phantom** is a Phantom type enemy encountered during certain Adventures, as well as the Legend of the Veil Voyage. They most often appear as allies to players, but can be encountered as hostiles under certain conditions in the Return of the Damned Adventure.

## Lore

The Ancient Phantoms are representatives of the Ancients, the native inhabitants of the Sea of Thieves. While they had disappeared prior to the arrival of pirates, they have since resurfaced and allied themselves with Belle and the Pirate Lord to defend the Sea of Thieves from those that may threaten it, including Captain Flameheart and the Reaper's Bones.

## Appearances

### Legend of the Veil

Players fight alongside phantom like Ancients on Haunted Islands to defeat waves of Reaper Phantoms during the Legend of the Veil Voyage.

### The Sirens' Prize

Players fought alongside Ancient Warriors in Shrines during Chapter Two of The Sirens' Prize Adventure to defeat Ocean Crawlers.

Players also fought alongside Ancient Warriors, taking on waves of Reaper Phantoms to defeat a Soulflame Captain atop Plunder Valley during Chapter Three.

### The Herald of the Flame

Players fought alongside Ancient Phantoms to defeat the Herald of the Flame during Chapter Three of The Herald of the Flame Adventure.

### Return of the Damned

Ancient Phantoms were encountered during the Return of the Damned Adventure, defending Sea Forts captured for Belle's side. They were friendly to players representing the Belle's side but hostile to players representing the Reaper's side.

## Behaviour

In most of their appearances (excluding the Return of the Damned Adventure), Ancient Phantoms appear as allies to players who will help battle Reaper Phantoms and Soulflame Captains.

In the Return of the Damned Adventure, Ancient Phantoms replace Sea Fort Phantoms as the guardians of Sea Forts under the control of Belle, where they will be friendly to players representing Belle and hostile to players representing The Servant of the Flame. During this Adventure, they will not make use of any Firearms during combat, but are otherwise identical to Sea Fort Phantoms. Should enough waves of Ancient Phantoms be defeated at a Sea Fort, a Priest of the Fort will arrive during the final wave in place of a Captain of the Fortress.

## Variations

Five variations of Ancient Phantoms have appeared. The most common variation wears a mask similar in appearance to the Veil of the Ancients, while others appear wearing masks which appear to represent beetles, birds, boars, and Sharks.

* Default appearance.
* Beetle variant.
* Bird variant.
* Boar variant.
* Shark variant.

Ancient Skeleton

Type
 Location

**Ancient Skeletons** are a rare type of Skeleton that drop Ancient Coins upon death. Ancient Skeletons are one of the 3 methods of acquiring Ancient Coins through gameplay, one of them being from Season Rewards.

These skeletons have a blue and gold body with a large sack of Ancient Coins strapped on their back. A distinct, ominous tune plays as they spawn, followed by loud clattering of coins. As a Player approaches, they will begin to run away while jovial music plays. The Ancient Skeleton does not have a lot of health, making them easy to kill. However, if not defeated within 20 seconds, the Ancient Skeleton will burrow back into the ground. Once defeated, a popup message will tell the player that they have received Ancient Coins.

## Where to find

Ancient Skeletons have a random chance to spawn near players on any Island, Fort, or Sea Fort. Their spawn chance is rare, yet more frequent than The Shrouded Ghost. They will often spawn alone, appearing in place of a regular Emergent Skeleton wave spawn. They have been reported to have a higher spawn rate in areas with higher player concentrations. Similarly to Reaper’s Chests they seem to stop spawning once a server is locked down for merger to prevent PvE Servers from farming them. When spawning, you'll have 20 seconds to defeat them, otherwise you'll lose your opportunity and it will return underground.

## Rewards

Upon defeat, Ancient Coins are awarded to the crew that kills the Ancient Skeleton; This reward **is not** shared with other crews within an Alliance

### Reward Tiers

The Ancient Coin reward will be a random amount falling within one of three Reward Tiers. Each Tier has its own unique name and graphic. Skeleton's Ancient Stash (Tier 1) is by far the most common, with Skeleton's Ancient Fortune (Tier 2) and Skeleton's Ancient Hoard (Tier 3) being much more rare.

***Note:** The exact price range of each tier are estimates based on user reports, and are subject to change.*

## Notes

* They have approximately 70 to 100 health.
* The Ancient Skeleton model appears to be unaffected by an environment's lighting, in effect allowing them to be brighter in darkness and seen more easily.
* Ancient Skeletons are not damaged by Firebombs, possibly to prevent similar environmental damage from killing them (Volcanoes, Ashen Lords, etc...). However they remain vulnerable to Blunderbombs.
* It is unknown whether they are affected by Cursed Cannonballs or not.
* Although Phantoms and Ocean Crawlers will target Ancient Skeletons, if defeated by their hands, no reward will be provided to the player.

## Gallery

* Ancient Skeleton 3D model turnaround by Lorenzo Melizza (Senior Character Artist).

2.0.17.1

External Link

With Ashen Winds scorching the hands of pirates across the Sea of Thieves, the team has been working on additional fixes based on feedback from the community and introducing those in today’s release of update 2.0.17.1.

For a refresher on all the new features introduced in May’s monthly content update, check out the full Ashen Winds release notes!

## Fixed Issues

**Ashen Winds**

* Selling an Ashen Winds Skull to the Servant of the Flame now counts towards the Hunter of the Ashen Winds Commendation.
* Using an Ashen Winds Skull to set Fire to Skeletons now counts towards the Ashen Bones and Captain of Ashen Bones Commendations.
* Using an Ashen Winds Skull to set Fire to Skeleton Ships now counts towards the Warsmith of the Flame Commendation.

**Combat and Hit Registration**

* Attacking with ranged weapons while standing on the Arena hand-in ship will now correctly register shots on rival players.
* Attacking with ranged weapons while standing on a Rowboat will now correctly register shots on rival players.

**Visual and Audio**

* Windows 10 players with Radeon RX 500 Series cards should no longer experience intense lighting effects when looking at Ashen Curse pets.

## Known Issues

**Increased Latency and Server Correction**

* In cases of high server density, some servers can exhibit performance hits leading to increased latency. This may result in lag spikes during gameplay, rubberbanding and server correction.

**Players Impacted Following Server Migration**

* We are currently tracking a number of player-impacting issues which can occur following a server migration. These include crews migrating near Outposts finding themselves moved to a location where another ship is already present, and issues with ship interaction points.

**Ranged and Melee Weapon Hit Detection**

* In areas of intense action, players may find themselves firing shots or landing strikes that do not cause damage to their targets. While improvements continue to be delivered during our content updates, this continues to be a key priority for the team.

**Stuck UI Menus**

* When interacting with a barrel and moving quickly through its inventory, players may find that the barrel’s state is not updated as items are removed. Players can also find the Game Options become stuck on-screen when exiting a barrel in this state.
1.1.3

External Link

Calling all well-travelled pirates! The Skeleton Thrones Bilge Rat Adventure is in its final week, so get your hands (or hook) on the Bone Crusher jacket, dress and hat before they are removed! The Bilge Rats have gone out to some of the remotest locations within the Sea of Thieves and are encouraging would-be challengers to find these Thrones out there in far-flung parts of the world.

As mentioned last week, other Megalodons have now emerged to join the ranks of the Kraken and sharks to present a new permanent threat in the seas. Patch 1.1.3 also brings with it key performance improvements and fixes for known issues.

## Updates

* Megalodon - Since the retreat of The Hungering One back into the deep, there have been reported sightings of other Megalodons terrorising the Sea of Thieves. It's been discovered that these new Megalodons have different personalities – some seem to turn tail at the sight of a Galleon, whilst others are said to be just as unforgiving as The Hungering One!
* Gold bag icons - The icons for the Bilge Rat gold bags have been updated to better show the value of the gold within!

## Performance Improvements

* Reduced frequency of client hangs on Skeleton Forts.
* Significantly improved stability when loading new areas.
* Multiple server and client crash fixes.

*Further improvements and optimisations for all platforms are ongoing.*

## Fixed Issues

* Resolved an 'X Marks the Spot' location on Kraken's Fall where the chest was impossible to dig up.
* Grand Admiral Hull livery on the Sloop now correctly matches the Galleon.
* Resolved an issue causing the PC client to hang upon closing.

## Known Issues

* Some players travel in an unintended direction when fired from a cannon.
* Being poisoned by a snake can show the VFX a second time.
* Bilge Rat Doubloons have not been correctly rewarded to a number of players who earned them through the Skeleton Thrones event.

*We are investigating a resolution for this and will share information when available.*

* The Hungering Deep rewards were not received by a number of players who earned them.

*We are currently rolling out a fix to this issue which will award missing rewards from The Hungering Deep. This will take some time, so keep an eye on the weekly patch notes to see when this rollout is complete.*

* Xbox One: 2.59GB
