Fortniteplayers can now enjoy a collaboration with thePirates of the Caribbeanfranchise thanks to the release of the Cursed Sails event. Until August 6, plenty of quests will be coming out so that gamers can collect Cursed Gold and unlockCursed Sails Pass rewards.
One of the first set of quests released for the event requires players to walk the plank, which might be confusing due to its vagueness, especially for fans that don’t tend to consume pirate-related media. This guide will tell players everything they need to know to quickly complete this quest and earn the first Map Piece inFortnite.
Plank Locations
When thePirates of the Caribbeanevent went live, two ships appeared on theFortnitemap. The Black Pearl, Captain Jack Sparrow’s infamous ship, is stranded on Shipwreck Shallows, a new named location southeast of Ruined Reels. There is also another ship on the island’s eastern shore; gamers who players Chapter 1 Season 8, the pirate-themed season, will recognize it as the ship in Lazy Lagoon. Here, gamers will also find theJack Sparrow NPC.
Each of these ships has a plank, so in orderto find a plank inFortnite, gamers have to either visit the ship on Shipwreck Shallows or the ship on the shore of the island, east of Summit Temple.
How to Walk the Plank
In pirate slang, to walk the plank is to be forced overboard via the ship’s plank.To walk the plank inFortnite, gamers have to walk over to the plank on the side of the ship until a quest notification appears on their screen saying they’ve completed the quest. If players walk to the edge of the plank, it’ll throw them up in the air, which might cause them to fall down into the water. Once they’ve completed this quest, they’ll receive300 Cursed Goldas a reward for their efforts.
